http://gstreamer.xeris.cz/ I didn't manage to make it play my MPG files, and this is what the author replied to me via email : QUOTE Hi Christian, Yes, there is a CLI. But probably the first thing You can try is to run ixion --gst-debug-level=2 It should say if there is any problem initializing the hardware (what is most likely our problem). The most basic thing, you can try is gst-launch --gst-debug-level=2 sinesrc ! dsoundsink or perhaps if it doesn't work gst-launch --gst-debug-level=2 sinesrc ! audioconvert ! dsoundsink it should produce a harmonic tone. To test video, run gst-launch --gst-debug-level=2 videotestsrc ! ddrawsink or gst-launch --gst-debug-level=2 videotestsrc ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ddrawsink You can find man pages for gst-launch, gst-inspect and gst-register through Google (search for gst-launch man page) Let me know what happened Michal Please post any results here, thanks in advance Christian matroska project admin http://www.matroska.org

i don't understand; most win users already found a good player to use, and linux users use...whatever they use( ). mplayer i suppose. you won't get win users to play via command line, and you won't get linux users to play with win players. and i sincerley doubt you will (by now) be able to make a multiplatform player that will beat the win players that are 4-5 years old by now. so who would be a potential user of gstreamer video player? (or is this just some publicity as you picked gstreamer as future platform to endorse matroska etc?)

QUOTE (i4004 @ Jul 24 2005, 08:46 AM) i don't understand; most win users already found a good player to use, and linux users use...whatever they use( ). mplayer i suppose. Well, there might be the day where we ( = matroska team ) decide to discontinue our DShow splitters, simply because its too difficult and time intensive to care about them. 95% of all user complaints go back to broken Windows installations, i.e. users who have a gazillion of different codec packs installed, and then wonder why MKV files won't play. In other words, we are sick and tired to constantly patch our stuff to avoid problems with crappy Dshow filters from other developers out there. QUOTE you won't get win users to play via command line, and you won't get linux users to play with win players. Ixion is coming with a nice, good looking GUI already. About Linux users, i dont care what player they are using as long as both are based on the same frame work, i.e. gstreamer, so that we only have to care about one parser for all OSes. QUOTE and i sincerley doubt you will (by now) be able to make a multiplatform player that will beat the win players that are 4-5 years old by now. so who  would be a potential user of gstreamer video player? Go on doubting, its all no rocket science .... QUOTE (or is this just some publicity as you picked gstreamer as future platform to endorse matroska etc?) Sure. matroska is the bestest vapourware project as you know ..... Christian matroska project admin http://www.matroska.org
