Description

Hi

I am lost ... I tried to find online information about building opencv-python with gstreamer support, but I failed.
I set the cmake args with_gstreamer to ON, but at the end cv2.getBuildInformation() always give me that gstreamer is not supported.

Could some god of you take few minutes to explain me how to build successfully opencv python with support to gstreamer on win10 ?

Thanks a lot
And thanks a lot for this beautiful work done on opencv python !!!!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's CMake argument handling for with_gstreamer and the Windows build path. Reproduce the build on Windows 10, then check cv2.getBuildInformation() to confirm whether GStreamer support is reported as enabled. Done means a documented or working build process that produces a Python package with GStreamer support.
