Hello, On windows with old gst version, we use to put video in a gtk window with xwindow\_id: view = Gst::ElementFactory.make(‘playbin’) view.video\_sink = Gst::ElementFactory.make(‘directdrawsink’) handle = Win32API.new(‘user32’, ‘GetForegroundWindow’, [], ‘N’).call view.video\_sink.xwindow\_id=handle but it’s seem that from now ‘xwindow\_id’ do not exist. NOTA: (view.video\_sink.methods - Object.methods) give : copy,gtype,type,value (class GLib::Value) ---

Hi, 2013/9/3 Regis d’Aubarede [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): > NOTA: > (view.video\_sink.methods - Object.methods) give : > > copy,gtype,type,value > (class GLib::Value) Please let me identify the problem. I tried the following codes on Windows. In GStreamer 0.10 (Ruby/GStreamer 1.2.6 or earlier), “directdrawsink” exist. ``` gem "glib2", "1.2.6" gem "gstreamer", "1.2.6" require "gst" p Gst::ElementFactory.make('directdrawsink') #=> # ``` In GStreamer 1.0 (Ruby/GStreamer 2.0.0 or later), “directdrawsink” does not seem to exist. ``` gem "glib2", "2.0.2" gem "gstreamer", "2.0.2" require "gst" p Gst::ElementFactory.make('directdrawsink') #=> nil ``` I’m looking for a list of elements. – Masafumi Y.

That’s work ! Thank you. Discovering Clutter, it’s seem very mysterious, no tutorials… bye ---

Now, there is also the following way: require “clutter-gtk” # gem install clutter-gtk (It uses gtk3) require “clutter-gst” # gem install clutter-gstreamer clutter = ClutterGtk::Embed.new stage = clutter.stage # For Clutter-GStreamer 2.0.2. This API will change. video\_texture = ClutterGst::VideoTexture.new stage.add\_child(video\_texture) video\_texture.uri = “file:///d:/usr/local/video/avi/film3.avi” video\_texture.playing = true window = Gtk::Window.new window.signal\_connect(“destroy”) {Gtk.main\_quit} window.add(clutter) window.show\_all Gtk.main – Masafumi Y.

But I think that uses are different. Gosu is for game application, and Clutter is for general desktop application. Clutter is able to make game application, but it will be some hard work. If not making game application, I think that Clutter may be better than Gosu. – Masafumi Y. GitHub: myokoym ---
