Hey guys, I'm trying to package an app that's using GStreamer and gst-python using PyInstaller.
PyInstaller comes with default hooks for Gstreamer, GLib, GI etc, and all of that seems to be working fine for me. I am struggling with adding gst-python though, even though a comment on hook-gi.repository.Gst.py states that it was tested with gst-python 1.4.0 <https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/blob/develop/PyInstaller/hooks/hook-gi.repository.Gst.py#L16> and people are mentioning they could include pygst (a deprecated version of gst-python) on Stack Overflow. /In case you are not familiar with gst-python, it is a way to write GStreamer elements in Python instead of writing them in C. The plugin will introspect all Python files that are in a specific folder, and discover the ones that "look like" GStreamer elements to allow you to use them as normal GStreamer elements./ What I've done so far - I wrote a bunch of elements in Python, including a dummy test element for tests: https://pastebin.com/WDdBsZLk - I am building gst-python from source, against my local install of Python: This plugin and the test element I just sent work fine on my host. - I wrote a simple entry script for PyInstaller that imports Gst from gi.repository, which works fine. I'm also providing additional data in my spec file: so that my element gets included too. - I exported GST_PLUGIN_PATH to point to my exported python folder, since this is part of the specs from gst-python so that they can know where the Python scripts they should introspect are located. The exported app then seems to be including everything I need to run gst-python with my element: - The gst-python plugin is there: - My test element is there too: Running my app However, when I try running my entry script (a simple script that runs the simplest possible pipeline using my dummy element: /videotestsrc ! nirotest/), it will error out, saying: Is it possible that a bug in the support of gst-python got introduced after 1.4.0? Or are there any additional steps that need to be made to support this kind of library?
