Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2017-11-12 12:41:44 UTC 
See https://github.com/sdroege/gstreamer-rs/issues/58 , same applies to the C tutorials.

The problem is that for osxvideosink and glimagesink we need to run a NSRunLoop on the main thread on macOS. Our patched GLib version does that when you run a GMainLoop (upstream GLib doens't!), but the examples are only using gst_bus_timed_pop_filtered() so that also wouldn't help.

Using a GMainLoop would make the tutorials quite a bit more complicated, more API would have to be introduced, there would always be callbacks, etc.


Not sure what to do about this!

I've managed to get simple examples working by running the example on a thread, and calling CFRunLoopRun() on the main thread. It requires only linking with the foundation.framework.
