Sorry if this has been asked, but I can’t find anything recent.

I am trying to get @gohai contributed library GLVideo (downloaded from github) working on Processing 3.5.3 running on Raspberry Pi 4 running Debian 10.0. I am using the SingleVideo sketch from the repository (code copied below). The first time I run it (after a reboot) it creates the sketch window, as well as a second mouse cursor arrow that weirdly follows my arrow around (!). I have copied below the console, showing the eventual error that halts the program.

Subsequently when I run the program, the sketch window doesn’t appear and nothing happens.

I’m not quite sure where to start on the possible problem, other than re-installing processing/GLvideo/gstreamer.

Thank you!

import gohai.glvideo.\*;  
GLMovie video;  
boolean forward = true;

void setup() {  
size(560, 406, P2D);  
video = new GLMovie(this, “launch1.mp4”);  
video.loop();  
}

void draw() {  
background(0);  
if (video.available()) {  
video.read();  
}  
image(video, 0, 0, width, height);  
}

void mousePressed() {  
forward = !forward;  
if (forward == true) {  
video.speed(1.0);  
} else {  
video.speed(-1.0);  
}  
}

did you notice that:

no idea if there will be help from anybody soon?

i could verify your problem:  
all GStreamer related sketch **not run** on my RPI3B+  
testing under RASPBIAN stretch AND buster

++ while camera and capture sketch works  
++ also use the new VLC app on RPI to check if can play the video-file in question without problem.

* * *

i tried to play with that and failed ( but not fully )  
so i do not recommend, but you might follow me [here](http://kll.engineering-news.org/kllfusion01/articles.php?article_id=160)

Hello! thank you for that, I will check out VLC but it likely won’t work for me (I want to manipulate the image in real time). I will also try to install OpenFrameworks though that is C++ based I think so bit more of a hassle. Thank you anyway !

sorry, the VLC player app i just used to check if the example video file is good?  
means playable on this hardware and OS.

did you repair your processing glvideo lib with my hack?
