Hello, I'm trying to get skimage working with video, and I'm using a relatively small video to test the functionality I need. If I run the following code (with a video I know to play in multiple players) it seems to hang python. import os from skimage import io ** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject) video_path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(),'test.avi') data = io.Video(source = video_path) as in, I've let it run for 5 + min on a 2.5 MB file and had to kill the python process. I'm running OS X 10.9.1 and I have: Python 2.7.6 :: Anaconda 1.7.0 (x86_64) skimage 0.8.2 Gstreamer 1.2.3 from binary at http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ and gst-python010 installed In case it matters, I installed gst-python via: $ brew tap homebrew/versions $ brew install gst-python010 I would appreciate any suggestions or recommendations as to how to determine where the error is, and then how to go about correcting it.
