ImportError: cannot import name GstRtspServer, introspection typelib not found

Question

Im trying to get a simple GstRtspServer program working on an external amazon linux EC2 server at the moment, but I am having serious issues getting it to actually run. No matter what I do I keep getting this same error when I try to run it, even if the program is reduced only to

import gi
gi.require_version('Gst','1.0')
from gi.repository import GLib, Gst, GstRtspServer

I have pygobject installed, I have gstreamer installed, I have gobject-introspection installed, and any google results have been wildly non helpful. Does anyone know what I might be missing?

GstRtspServer as an additional extra package that needs to be installed. – Betelgeuse

Answer 1

Specifically, on Ubuntu 16.04 one would have to install the package gir1.2-gst-rtsp-server-1.0, which contains the introspection typelib.

sudo apt install gir1.2-gst-rtsp-server-1.0

This also solves the problem on LFT - ubuntu 18 on jetsons. – Hydrothorax

Answer 2

I use MSYS2 MINGW64 on Windows, I solved with

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-rtsp-server
