Agreed. Like I already wrote earlier, the way to go is to use the gstreamer SDK for Windows and get a gstreamer plugin compiled for the latter. With all due respect, gstreamer is a major pain to build on Windows and runs afoul of dozens of patents and licenses. It’s fine if you’re building from source for linux, but it’s a lawsuit waiting to happen for commercial software if you want to play any “standard” media format like h264 or mp3. Something like libvlc might work if you want a cross platform library (but again, there are per-install royalties to use h264 so you’d still be screwed on mp4.) Platform-specific plugins could take advantage of the OS’s media playback capabilities, without license and patent headaches. -- Cinder Roxley Sent with Airmail
