dll files not found after adding Path environment variable

[justincase82]

I'm running Windows 10 Pro 20H2 and I have the release-windows-2019 package.

I've followed the install instructions and downloaded and installed GStreamer MSI package.

%GSTREAMER_1_0_ROOT_X86_64%\bin has been added to the system "path" variable but it keeps complaining about missing .dll files.

I've tried a few different GStreamer packages with the same results.

https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/windows/1.14.5/gstreamer-1.0-x86_64-1.14.5.msi
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/windows/1.19.1/mingw/gstreamer-1.0-mingw-x86_64-1.19.1.msi
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/windows/1.2.3/gstreamer-1.0-x86_64-1.2.3.msi

powershell dir env: shows

GSTREAMER_1_0_ROOT_X86_64 C:\gstreamer\1.0\x86_64\

Path C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH;%GSTREAMER_1_0_ROOT_X86_64%\bin;C:\Users\cameras\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;

I'm launching via CMD "c:\neolink\neolink --config config.toml"

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for the help.

Use the msvc builds not the mingw.
Do complete installs to ensure you install all the required components.
Install both the runtime and development installers also.

I had the same issues, but then realized I was not running the script from an admin prompt. Too many beers last night LOL

Neolink now launches correctly.

Thanks for the reply

@twistedddx its okay i didnt delete anything or i have it saved. i tryed as you said but it still doesnt work. i did full restart.
im remotely connected to machine so it takes alot of time to restart :P

@QuantumEntangledAndy
sorry.

btw from this:

"2. If you are using Windows, add the following to your PATH environment variable:

%GSTREAMER_1_0_ROOT_X86_64%\bin"

i would say you just put this "%GSTREAMER_1_0_ROOT_X86_64%\bin" in System variables PATH. That System variables just means so much. But thats just me.

i will put neolink in bin folder.. i dont mind it there if it will work. btw do i put all files or just neolink.exe, neolink.d and config?

[QuantumEntangledAndy]

No worries your new to this and we all start somewhere.

You only need to include the neolink not the neolink.d.

[stegl]

well sorry again...
i put neolink id bin folder and it looks like its working but i cant find streams....

are that errors on top actually error?

it should look like this right?
"rtsp://username:[email protected]/podstresk"

username:pass the one i set in config?

[twistedddx]

You need the port number which by default is 8554
Eg Neolink instructions say the url is:
rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/your_camera_name

[stegl]

sorry.. thank you verry mutch all. it works.

I'm also having this problem. I have installed GStreamer MSVC x86-64 version 1.20.0 runtime using a complete install. But it looks like a slightly different issue to above.

After checking all the thread replies, I have verified that my path is set correctly. The suggested system path value of "%GSTREAMER_1_0_ROOT_X86_64%\bin" didn't work because the user variable set by the install was slightly different. My solution to this was different - I simply set the system path to be explicity rather than based on the variable. Having read this thread, I've returned to the variable method, and fixed the user variable. Either way, my problem remains.

My user variables updated according to thread recommendations.

My system path variables are referencing my user variables. The path ends in /bin so that the binaries can be called.

I can run other binaries from that path, such as gsettings.exe

I have verified that I'm using administrative command prompt.

I have verified that the DLLs listed in the warnings are present in the path described in the error.

I have tried installing the developer files as well, but that didn't help. The reality is that the DLLs the program can't access are there, but something is stopped the program from accessing them.

Any ideas?

Despite the above error, I can get a video feed from the camera in BlueIris. This is awesome. I'd love to buy the dev a coffee.

I wonder what the DLL does. with a name like "gstwavpack.dll" it sounds like it could be something to do with sound. Edit: I can confirm that the audio feed isnt working.

Below are my BlueIris settings
