The install given elsewhere in the forum is
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0*
Which isn't currently working for my 12.04 install [see below]
Does anyone have updated info or a fix to the instructions?
I did the above but still fail to find the Gst namesapace, I get the message
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "webcam-1.0.py", line 4, in <module>
gi.require_version('Gst', '1.0')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 48, in require_version
raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Gst not available
And to be sure, I redid the above steps and then noticed that the regex idenitifed some libraries that were then not marked for install. I decided to try one of them explicitly by name and got the below.
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
[all went OK]
$ sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev
