This is GStreamer gst-libav 1.17.0.1. The GStreamer team is thrilled to announce a new major feature release in the stable 1.0 API series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework! As always, this release is again packed with new features, bug fixes and other improvements. The 1.16 release series adds new features on top of the 1.14 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. Full release notes will one day be found at: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.16/ Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will usually be provided shortly after the release. This module will not be very useful by itself and should be used in conjunction with other GStreamer modules for a complete multimedia experience. - gstreamer: provides the core GStreamer libraries and some generic plugins - gst-plugins-base: a basic set of well-supported plugins and additional media-specific GStreamer helper libraries for audio, video, rtsp, rtp, tags, OpenGL, etc. - gst-plugins-good: a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license - gst-plugins-ugly: a set of well-supported plugins which might pose problems for distributors - gst-plugins-bad: a set of plugins of varying quality that have not made their way into one of core/base/good/ugly yet, for one reason or another. Many of these are are production quality elements, but may still be missing documentation or unit tests; others haven't passed the rigorous quality testing we expect yet. - gst-libav: a set of codecs plugins based on the ffmpeg library. This is where you can find audio and video decoders and encoders for a wide variety of formats including H.264, AAC, etc. - gstreamer-vaapi: hardware-accelerated video decoding and encoding using VA-API on Linux. Primarily for Intel graphics hardware. - gst-omx: hardware-accelerated video decoding and encoding, primarily for embedded Linux systems that provide an OpenMax implementation layer such as the Raspberry Pi. - gst-rtsp-server: library to serve files or streaming pipelines via RTSP - gst-editing-services: library an plugins for non-linear editing ==== Download ==== You can find source releases of gstreamer in the download directory: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gstreamer/ The git repository and details how to clone it can be found at https://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/ ==== Homepage ==== The project's website is https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ ==== Support and Bugs ==== We have recently moved from GNOME Bugzilla to GitLab on freedesktop.org for bug reports and feature requests: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer Please submit patches via GitLab as well, in form of Merge Requests.
