Hi All,
I am new to use GStreamer for my .net core project. I was trying to install GStreamer
installer: gstreamer-1.0-mingw-x86\_64-1.24.0.
On documentation it was mentioned:
On Windows, with .msi installer, keep all default components selected, and add _“Gstreamer 1.0 libav wrapper”_ .But I have installed all existing plugins and stuff (complete installation)
but I am confused about the paths to set in environment variables. I tried to run command prompt
gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=[https://ia800501.us.archive.org/10/items/BigBuckBunny\_310/big\_buck\_bunny\_640\_512kb.mp4](https://ia800501.us.archive.org/10/items/BigBuckBunny_310/big_buck_bunny_640_512kb.mp4)
but I am getting error gst-launch-1.0 is not recognized.
I have set variable with this name and given path to exe :
C:\gstreamer\1.0\mingw\_x86\_64\bin\gst-launch-1.0.exe
What else should i do to make it work?
your help would be much appreciated.
I wanted to make it run with .net core project. but right now just trying to install properly that I can access even with .net 4.8 or .net standard
Thanks,
Omair

Hi.
Did you add path to gst bin folder to your system variable Path ? In my case I’ve added d:\gstreamer\1.0\mingw\_x86\_64\bin\ to Path.

I can see one variable named:
%GSTREAMER\_1\_0\_ROOT\_X86\_64%\bin
value:
C:\gstreamer\1.0\mingw\_x86\_64\bin
Another variables which are added or i had added them manually are as below:
“GST\_PLUGIN\_PATH”
value:
C:\gstreamer\1.0\mingw\_x86\_64\lib\gstreamer-1.0
below I have added to run the command… but didn’t work:
“gst-launch-1.0”
value: C:\gstreamer\1.0\mingw\_x86\_64\bin\gst-launch-1.0.exe
are added into the environment variable list.

There should be Path system variable, add C:\gstreamer\1.0\mingw\_x86\_64\bin to it.

it’s also `%GSTREAMER_1_0_ROOT_X86_64%\lib` should be added to Path environment variable
