GStreamer-WARNING **: 16:23:19.467: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstmfx.so'

Hi, i try to use gstreamer and plugin failed to load:

gst-inspect-1.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstmfx.so

(gst-inspect-1.0:30311): GStreamer-WARNING **: 16:15:08.127: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstmfx.so': /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstmfx.so: undefined symbol: xcb_dri3_pixmap_from_buffer_checked
Could not load plugin file: Opening module failed: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstmfx.so: undefined symbol: xcb_dri3_pixmap_from_buffer_checked

This symbol contains in libxcb-dri3.so

If I use LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-dri3.so gst-inspect-1.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstmfx.so, then all works

@AntonGrishin I have done the below steps to compile and install the gstreamer-media-sdk. mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. make && make install

After executing make install command, libgstmfx.so is installed in /usr/local/gstreamer-1.0/. Below is the output when i run gst-inspect.

Please let us know if your compilation procedure is different than the above ?

I have the same issue (Ubuntu 18.04). I did the same build steps as @pichikaudaykiran but when I do gst-inspect-1.0 /usr/local/gstreamer-1.0/libgstmfx.so I get:

(gst-inspect-1.0:16999): GStreamer-WARNING **: 15:24:00.036: Failed to load plugin '/usr/local/gstreamer-1.0/libgstmfx.so': /usr/local/gstreamer-1.0/libgstmfx.so: undefined symbol: xcb_dri3_pixmap_from_buffer_checked

same issue with me and unable to use mfx functions - it says No such element or plugin 'mfxvpp'

I am running into the same exact issue. Were you able to get out of this?

[ishantbansal]

export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/gstreamer-1.0/
try exporting path

[jbolduc01]

No effect. I still need to do LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-dri3.so gst-inspect-1.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstmfx.so to see plugins details.

[ishantbansal]

export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/ && LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965

[jbolduc01]

When I should do this, before cmake? However, I see that when I check blacklisted files:

up@up:~/gstreamer-media-SDK/build$ gst-inspect-1.0 -b
Blacklisted files:
  libgstomx-generic.so
  libgstmfx.so
  libgstomx.so

Any idea?

I am having same issue.

I had the same problem. Started working for me again after:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gstreamer1.0-alsa gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 libgstreamer-plugins-good1.0-0 libgstreamer1.0-0
