Processing cannot load GStreamer

Question

I'm trying to play a video on Processing 3.5.3 with the GLvideo library, but I am getting an error message that Processing cannot load GStreamer.

import gohai.glvideo.*;
GLMovie video;
boolean forward = true;
void setup() {
 size(560, 406, P3D);
 video = new GLMovie(this, "vid.mp4");
 video.loop();
}
void draw() {
 background(0);
 if (video.available()) {
 video.read();
 }
 image(video, 0, 0, width, height);
}
void mousePressed() {
 forward = !forward;
 if (forward == true) {
 video.speed(1.0);
 } else {
 video.speed(-1.0);
 }
}

the error message reads

GLVideo requires the P2D or P3D renderer.
(java:8347): GLib-CRITICAL **: 21:49:40.265: g_error_free: assertion 'error != NULL' failed
RuntimeException: Could not load GStreamer

I'm new to working with Processing on Raspberry Pi, so it may be a simple fix that I'm missing.

any insight? thanks!

• Ingo: Where is the problem with Raspberry Pi?
• evvvonder: @Ingo the same sketch runs fine on my mac, I'm using GLVideo because the rPi doesn't support the original video library

Answer 1

I was facing the same problem. Found out that Video and GLVideo from contribution manager not working anymore, instead I downloaded Video library from Github and now examples from Video library are working, but slow. Also, in the GLVideo examples I replaced the GLVideo for Video.
