Hi Esteban,

Thanks for your reply. I��m running on macOS so I think you��ve helped me identify the issue :)

The target is macOS and PiOS so I��ll give it a go on the pi. For now I can work on Linux until the Mac issue is resolved.

The process is to zeroconf pharo 11, then install spec-gtk based on the instructions on GitHub:

Metacello new
        repository: 'github://pharo-spec/Spec-Gtk';
        baseline: 'SpecGtk';
        onConflict: [ :e | e useIncoming ];
        onUpgrade: [ :e | e useIncoming ];
        ignoreImage;
        load

��then save and quit. Relaunching fails.

I��ll keep an eye out for the macOS fix.

Thanks again for your help.

Cheers,

J

Hi,

Spec-Gtk should work without problems on P11, except on macs, where there is a known problem.
what is the process you are taking to install it? where are you trying it?

I don't know the status of the VLC bindings.

The stark silence answers my question :)

So��

I found a nice binding to VLC [1] and was thinking of using Spec2 GTK+ to create a video widget/component. Does anyone with more in depth knowledge of Spec2 and GTK foresee any obvious blocks?

First block :) I can��t find a way to play with the Spec2 GTK+ binding [2] without the image crashing on startup. I see someone has already logged the issue in GitHub for 10 and 11, and I tried 12 just for fun, and it also ate all the memory then crashed.

Is there a Pharo version that will work with the Spec2 GTK+ binding installed? Maybe I��m looking at this too early :)

Can anyone point to to some library, documentation or examples of how to play video in Pharo?

Thanks in advance.
