Install gstreamer-sharp for Xamarin Studio(Gtk#)

Question

I need to install gstreamer-sharp for Xamarin Studio(Gtk# project). I installed OSSBuild and add to references gstreamer-sharp.dll, after debugging I got exception:

Gst.GLib.GException: no element "playbin" in Gst.Parse.Launch(String pipeline_description)

Output:

Code:

    Gst.Application.Init ();
    GLib.MainLoop Loop;
    Gst.Element element;
    Loop = new GLib.MainLoop();
    element = Gst.Parse.Launch("playbin uri=http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/graphics/blender/apricot/trailer/Sintel_Trailer1.1080p.DivX_Plus_HD.mkv");
    element.Bus.AddSignalWatch();
    element.SetState( Gst.State.Playing);
    Loop.Run();

I understand, it's only my fault, so I don't need to fix this, I need to reinstall gstreamer-sharp and correct use it in Xamarin. How is this done correctly?

P.S. I think it would be nice if people who have installed it for .Net could give me advice too.

Answer 1

Unfortunately the gstreamer-sharp v.0.10 is not supported. At the moment no version can do what you want however once the 1.0 version is released it will be fully supported on windows, Android and linux.

The V.1.0 should be released within the next 2 months according to their site.

Answer 2

I had to use a different code. This code is works fine:

        Gst.Application.Init ();
        var pipeDescription = "playbin uri=file:///a:/test.avi ";
        var pipeline = Gst.Parse.Launch(pipeDescription) as Gst.Bin; 
        var someElementInPipe = pipeline.GetChildByName("myBin") as Gst.Element;
        pipeline.SetState(Gst.State.Playing);
