Re: GStreamer 1.24.0 new stable feature release

Hi all,
since I upgraded to the latest GStreamer 1.24

(FireflyLuciferin:36608): GStreamer-WARNING **: 12:27:23.362: External 
plugin loader failed. This most likely means that the plugin loader 
helper binary was not found or could not be run. You might need to set 
the GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER environment variable if your setup is unusual. 
This should normally not be required though.

Is this something that can be related to the bindings?

I never seen this warning before...

Thanks
Davide
