Description Peteris Krisjanis 2011-07-21 21:53:06 UTC 
I have checked this with both Fedora 15 with gstreamer 10.34.0 and jhbuild with gstreamer master (22.07.2011)

1) I have simple code in Python which returns list of gstreamer plugins objects using PyGI:

from gi.repository import Gst
print Gst.Registry.get_default().get_plugin_list()

2) However, no matter what environment I use this return [], t.i. empty list
3) GST_DEBUG gives me nothing, so it indicates that it doesn't even try to reach Gstreamer
Comment 1 Edward Hervey 2011-07-22 07:59:34 UTC 
you didn't initialize GStreamer (Gst.init(...))

It would be nice to have a way to have this automatically done whe import that module, just like in gst-python.
