I try the example “GettingStartedCapture” and the following line throws error

> > String cameras = Capture.list();

UnsatisfiedLinkError: Error looking up function ‘gst\_date\_get\_type’: /usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/libgstreamer-1.0.so: undefined symbol: gst\_date\_get\_type  
A library relies on native code that’s not available.  
Or only works properly when the sketch is run as a 32-bit application.

I have Processing 3.4 64 bits on Ubuntu 18.04.  
Thanks for your help.

Can you post what you get when you type in the terminal `uname -a`?

I’m downloading a new zip with library inside. I test what happens after installing it and I tell you.  
Thanks!

Use the link I shared above and check the info for installing libraries manually.

Thank you. I just downloaded and changed the library to the correct folder.

 ![Captura%20de%20pantalla%20de%202018-12-01%2021-55-47](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/processingfoundation1/original/2X/8/8d33a2fad2b78f8ad1c59db86d941e4e535dee1e.jpeg)

Windows showed me the sizes of video that the camera was using, in Ubuntu they do not appear.

That’s something @gohai might have a handle on? Some of how this worked changed in GStreamer 1.x and I’m not sure how fully featured the new version of the Video library is here.

As pointed above:

1. download the [Video Library Release 3 (version 2.0-beta1)] here:  
[https://github.com/processing/processing-video/releases/tag/r3-v2.0-beta1](https://github.com/processing/processing-video/releases/tag/r3-v2.0-beta1)

2. Extract the downloaded zip file into your Processing library folder.  
This is a folder named “libraries” inside your sketchbook folder.

3. Start Processing and try one of the examples for the video library  
MENU: File -\> Examples… Contributed libraries -\> Video

what does your info mean?

if you not find the examples you use the wrong path.  
if you find a example and try to RUN, what was the error msg.

Thank you very much. I am sorry that I did not answered fast. The libraries are working now and i am searching this error. “A library relies on native code that’s not available.  
Or only works properly when the sketch is run as a 32-bit application.”
