`main': can't modify frozen string / Gstreamer

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2

Hello Everyone,
last year i did a small video player with gst and ruby. its was pretty
unstable but it was working.
now i got a new/faster pc and reinstalled all the stuff and my player
was not working anymore if i start it 10 times its working once.

here the errors
sometimes =>
##############################################
video-player.rb:220:in `main’: can’t modify frozen string
from video-player.rb:220

sometimes =>
##############################################
pgoetzin@localhost:~/Desktop$ ruby video-player.rb file:///sample.avi
Streaming file:///sample.avi…
video-player.rb:72:in window': stack level too deep from video-player.rb:72:in video_element_added_cb’
from video-player.rb:28:in initialize' from video-player.rb:220:in call’
from video-player.rb:220:in `main’
from video-player.rb:220
############################################

i debugged my code and couldn’t get it fixed.
then i tried the old sample, because i was sure that this was working on
the old pc.( i also attached it to this posting) i comment out 2 or 3
lines because of the new api.

https://trac.luon.net/ruby-gstreamer0.10/browser/trunk/ruby-gstreamer0.10/sample/video-player.rb?rev=67

but even with the sample i get the same error …

i tried various ruby versions
ruby-1.8.6-p287-src ruby-1.8.7-p72-src with no success.

does anyone have any hints for me ?
i already tried http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?tips_threads
but with no success

is maybe ruby 1.9 better because of the differnt threading types ?
does someone have a working sample with a window class that includes a
gstwidget and connects to the right signals ?

thanks ahead

Hello.
I try the code with two different files. I got an error:
** ERROR **: Please call rbgutil_start_callback_dispatch_thread() to
dispatch a callback from non-ruby thread before callbacks are requested
from non-ruby thread.

I also tried the ‘gst0.10’ binding for an audio application. I haved
errors so I try the ‘gst’ binding (from ruby-gnome2 project) and
everythings seems to work fine.
http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi
The documentation on the hiki seems old but there is a video player
sample with the sources.

Are you using ruby 1.9? Your sample works with ruby 1.8.7 on
my environment. Ruby-GNOME2 doesn’t support ruby 1.9 yet. We
need help to support ruby 1.9.

Thanks,
