Manual on GStreamer installation on macOs

[Sirorezka]

It is not clear how to properly install and configure gstreamer on macOs:

• I can either install latest version using 'brew', but as I understand latest version it is not supported by Speech SDK. Or I can download older versions directly from gstreamer website. Which option to prefer? Which version to use?
• From the manual it is not clear which version of the gstream to download (after digging the internet I guess that currently Speech SDK supports only gstreamer version 1.18.3)
• it is not clear which env variables should be set up on macOs. I definitely have gstreamer working and installed, but I still get SPXERR_GSTREAMER_NOT_FOUND_ERROR. My guess here that Azure package is looking at either GST_PLUGIN_PATH or GSTREAMER_ROOT_X86_64 or PATH. However setting either of them worked for me. And again it is not clear how to read the Speech SDK doc, because it is telling that you need to point to ".dlyb" files. Usually you don't add ".dlyb" files to PATH on mac.

So overall I think that current version of the doc is clearly describing how to setup gstreamer on Windows, but lack of crucial steps for macOs.

Thank you.

@Sirorezka I've delegated this to @eric-urban, a content author, to review and share their valuable insights.

@Sirorezka - Right we haven't documented the details about macOS. Please see the GStreamer docs for more information about that. Thanks!

Why was this ticket closed? There is no resolution, apart from "check the GStreamer docs", which is really not very helpful.

@Sirorezka were you able to figure this out? I'm stuck as well.

No, I didn't find a solution. And at the end decided to convert audio to .wav as a best alternative. However, speaking about the issue, I didn't test the link posted by eric, maybe it did have a solution.

Because the issue was closed maybe you need to create a new issue if you experience the same problem.
