Raspberry Pi Forums

hi,

I installed gstreamer 1.0 and all the required plugin in my raspberry pi ( raspbian), including the openmax plugins that supports the hardware accelerations. But the xvimagesink or ximagesink element of gstreamer is not working in Raspberry pi.
eg : when I created a simple pipeline as
gst-launch-1.0 xvimagesink

I am getting error that

ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstXvImageSink:xvimagesink0: Could not initialise Xv output

and I m not able to play the video . How to solve this error.

Is there any video sink made for BCM 2835 ?
Is there any other videosink that I can use with pipeline so that I can play video ?

This URL http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1707497, which may or may not be relevent suggest that "some drivers do not support Xv at all" and there is a "--xv false" option.

Try Googling, there is a wealth of material out there; I cut 'n' paste "Could not initialise Xv output" from your original post. Remember that many issues extend beyond the world of Pi, so don't limit your searches.
