What it supplies: GStreamer is a framework for streaming media. This repository contains all the official modules the community supports, in its subprojects directory. Useful for: - Build the whole GStreamer stack and its official plug-in modules from one repository. - Use the documentation, tutorials and API reference on the project website. - Opt in to plug-ins that depend on GPL or AGPL libraries, such as x264 and x265 encoders. First action: - Install Git and Python 3.8 or newer, then Meson and ninja. - Run meson setup builddir and meson compile -C builddir. - Update subprojects with meson subprojects update when wrap files change. - Ask questions on the Discourse forum or Matrix room. Prerequisites and limits: - Python 3.8 or newer, Meson 1.4 or newer and ninja. - On Windows, Meson uses the latest Visual Studio when GCC or clang is not in PATH; --vsenv forces it. - The README lists (A)GPL-dependent plug-ins as non-exhaustive, so other plug-ins may also carry such dependencies. - Meson does not update subprojects automatically. - Windows, static-build and cross-build sections were read by heading only. This README does not state the project's own licence in the text read, so check the repository and module licence files. It does say that plug-ins with GPL- or AGPL-licensed dependencies are built only if you opt in with -Dgpl=enabled, which affects how you may distribute the result. Media you process carries its own rights. Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was built or run and no pipeline was executed. Based on README text only; the documentation site, module licences and the Windows, static-build and cross-build sections were not fully read. No build or run was made.
