xvimagesink not found by gst-inspect

Question

I have installed GStreamer SDK (x64) and GStreamer SDK (Development Files) (x64) on a Windows 7 PC. This was a complete install - all features were enabled. When I run gst-inspect-0.10 xvimagesink the result is No such element or plug-in 'xvimagesink' Running gst-inspect on other basic plug-ins returns the expected information. Is this plug-in not supported under Windows?

Answer 1

xvimagesink uses the xwindow system of linux and is hence not supported on windows.

Use autovideosink instead. It will auto-plug an appropriate sink element.
