Exception on get_python_plugins_list

[piertoni]

On a linux machine with greengrass installed, I am trying to stream a local playlist.m3u8 to aws cloud.

The equivalent with gst-launch would be: gst-launch-1.0 souphttpsrc location=http://localhost:5000/playlist.m3u8 ! hlsdemux ! tsdemux ! video/x-h264 ! h264parse ! kvssink stream-name="kvs_test_camera" storage-size=128

I have an exception trying to launch the pipeline:

client.start(
    {
        "pipeline": {
            "source": "souphttpsrc",
            "hlsdemux": "hlsdemux",
            "tsdemux": "tsdemux",
            "video": "video/x-h264",
            "h264parse": "h264parse",
            "sink": "kvssink",
        },
        "source": {
            "location": f"http://localhost:5000/playlist.m3u8",
        },
        "hlsdemux": {},
        "tsdemux": {},
        "video": {},
        "h264parse": {},
        "sink": {
            "stream-name": "TestStream",
            "storage_size": 128,
        },
    }
)

The exception is the following:

It seems that package build and/or installation failed on your system. Did you see any errors during build or installation?

fixed reinstalling with a virtualenv and doing the following:

python3 -m venv myenv
source myenv/bin/activate
git clone https://github.com/awslabs/aws-streamer.git
cd aws-streamer
pip install --upgrade wheel pip setuptools
pip install --upgrade --requirement requirements.txt
./build.sh -DBUILD_KVS=ON
pip install -v .
