Unable to get videos (GStreamer) to work under MS Windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From worldrave (comment in r1957):
Well, now the log is at least telling me "gstreamer and dependencies aren't
set up" with newer log traps. The problem is, gstreamer and the
dependencies are DEFINITELY installed. The question of the day is if
gstreamer is setup properly for FoFiX, which is only something one of the
coders can answer. 
    After reading a bunch on this topic in the python forums, at least on
windows base, not in every case, but mostly, it's needed to be setup for
the application used, fofix in this case. I wouldn't even know enough to
setup gstreamer for fofix. Lys told me it's working fine for linux without
anything to setup, so that's cool to hear. I'm not planning on loading
linux anytime soon, as i just removed it a few weeks ago for certain reasons. 
   Anyway, this is such a cool feature, and will be cool when the day comes
when we can get it working on windows. Thanks so much for adding this.

An important update:

Playing an AVI file (for example: the WoW trailer,unconverted and original 
file) 
like this works (Start Menu -> Run): 

C:\gstreamer\bin\gst-launch-0.10.exe playbin uri=file:///D:\WOW_Intro_1024.avi

With smooth video playing and sound !

I think this could lead to a break-through.

IIRC, you should NOT use backslashes in uri.

No, no, no, not quite.

You changed all of your forward slashes (/) to backslashes (\).  We wanted you 
to go
the other way around.

Kay well that time it worked, Cant believe I mixed up forward and backslashes XD

Still not working in FoF though, I'll go check my ini

Are there any other instances where FoF will try access a directory with (\) 
rather
than (/) ?

Bumpedy bump bump. Could the fact that i'm using an x86 OS make a difference in 
many
ways?

GUYS i have a temp solution first of all move your fofix folder to oter disck 
becouse 
gstreamer dont open the videos when you put it on the c disck  so after you 
complete a 
song with the video it UNBIND so you have to close fofix and install this pygst 
and the 
gstreamerwinbuild you ahve to do this EVERY TIME you finish a song becouse if 
you dont 
do it when you put oter song you will not see the video

Ehh, I have mine on a seperate hard disk anyways, and that sounds like a very 
strange
fix.

I'll give it a go later when I update my svn. Thanks :]

Did you read about my new packaging of it in RunningUnderPython26?

I cant get it to work either way, Could it be now because I had Python24 and 
26? I
really wanna start testing videos >.<

umm yeah i was just playing "I think I'm paranoid" on RB and well i got to see a
different back ground stage, so within one video file there are many different 
stages
that can be utilized maybe we need to work with this knowledge before anything 
else
with FOFix gets done. gotta love layered mkv files, now fofix needs to write a 
code
for that, well good luck guys, so far its been a really long time since anyone 
said
boo about it so id figure id throw this stick in the mud.

Gstreamer has been replaced with a custom Theora decoder module.
