[Bug 873712] [NEW] Lack of GstMiniObject means Gst.Message is broken, can't get EOS signal

 

Public bug reported:

It's almost possible to use GStreamer from PyGI.  The hang up is that
currently you can't get EOS signals from a pipeline, and that the
message bus is overall broken.

As far as I know, this is because pygobject doesn't grok the
GstMiniObject type, which mean Gst.Message is an unknown type.  There is
an upstream bug with a patch (work in progress):

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631901

I'm not sure if this would be too invasive a change to deliver to
Oneiric users through a SRU, but this would help smooth the transition
to PyGI (and possibly only shipping Python3 on the CD) for Precise as
app devs could be working with PyGI and GStreamer right now on Oneiric.

For what it's worth, this would really help Novacut.  Either way, lets
make sure PyGI + GStreamer rocks in Precise!

(Side note: this also raises a question... GStreamer 0.10 or 1.0 in
Precise?)
