Problems getting the video projects running on OS X #6

i tried to run the Loop example.

I installed gst-ffmpeg with brew. Set the GTS_PLUGIN_PATH to "/usr/local/Cellar/gstreamer/0.10.32/".

When i try to run the Loop project i get "Cannot load GStreamer plugins from /Users/fabian/Documents/prog/Incubator/FlatMovie/spde-examples/Loop/lib_managed/scala_2.8.0/compile//gstreamer/macosx/plugins".

So do i have to set GST_PLUGIN_PATH to an other directory?

It is... really hard to get working, except on Linux. I'm not sure what to do about it. Processing itself uses the deprecated QuickTime for Java. I thought gstreamer would be a more future proof approach, but it is difficult to set up.

Have you had any luck? I can not offer much advice since it's been some time since I went through it on a Mac.

No i dind't had any luck. (I also took a short look into other libraries but they all seem to be problematic :(

Can you tell me to which directory GTS_PLUGIN_PATH points on your system . (What is in this directory?)
