# gstreamer-rs [](https://crates.io/crates/gstreamer-editing-services) [](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer-rs/commits/master)
|
|
|
|
[GStreamer Editing Services](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/) bindings for Rust.
|
|
Documentation can be found [here](https://slomo.pages.freedesktop.org/rustdocs/gstreamer/gstreamer_editing_services/).
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The GStreamer Editing Services API is not Thread Safe and before the 1.16
|
|
release this was not properly expressed in the code, leading to possible data
|
|
unsafety even in the rust bindings. We strongly encourage you to run with
|
|
GES >= 1.16.
|
|
|
|
These bindings are providing a safe API that can be used to interface with
|
|
GStreamer, e.g. for writing GStreamer-based applications.
|
|
|
|
For background and motivation, see the [announcement blogpost](https://coaxion.net/blog/2017/07/writing-gstreamer-applications-in-rust/).
|
|
|
|
The bindings (since 0.8.0) are autogenerated with [gir](https://github.com/gtk-rs/gir/)
|
|
based on the [GObject-Introspection](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GObjectIntrospection/)
|
|
API metadata provided by the GStreamer project. Older versions before 0.8.0 were manually
|
|
written and the repository can be found [here](https://github.com/arturoc/gstreamer1.0-rs).
|
|
The API of the two is incompatible.
|
|
|
|
A crate for writing GStreamer plugins in Rust can be found here: https://github.com/sdroege/gst-plugin-rs

|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
To build the GStreamer bindings or anything depending on them, you need to
|
|
have at least GStreamer 1.8, gst-plugins-base 1.8 and gstreamer-editing-services
|
|
1.8 installed.
|
|
|
|
<a name="installation-linux"/>
|
|
|
|
### Linux/BSDs
|
|
|
|
You need to install the above mentioned packages with your distributions
|
|
package manager, or build them from source.
|
|
|
|
On Debian/Ubuntu they can be installed with
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev \
|
|
gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good \
|
|
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly \
|
|
gstreamer1.0-libav libges-1.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Package names on other distributions should be similar.
|
|
Please submit a pull request with instructions for yours.

<a name="installation-macos"/>
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
|
|
You can install GStreamer and the plugins via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) or
|
|
by installing the [binaries](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/osx/)
|
|
provided by the GStreamer project.
|
|
|
|
#### Homebrew
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ brew install gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good \
|
|
gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-ugly gst-libav gst-editing-services
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### GStreamer Binaries
|
|
|
|
You need to download the *two* `.pkg` files from the GStreamer website and
|
|
install them, e.g. `gstreamer-1.0-1.12.3-x86_64.pkg` and
|
|
`gstreamer-1.0-devel-1.12.3-x86_64.pkg`.
|
|
|
|
After installation, you also need to install `pkg-config` (e.g. via Homebrew)
|
|
and set the `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/Current/lib/pkgconfig${PKG_CONFIG_PATH:+:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<a name="installation-windows"/>
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
You can install GStreamer and the plugins via [MSYS2](http://www.msys2.org/)
|
|
with `pacman` or by installing the
|
|
[binaries](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/windows/) provided by
|
|
the GStreamer project.
|
|
|
|
#### MSYS2 / pacman
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ pacman -S pkg-config mingw-w64-x86_64-gstreamer mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-plugins-base \
|
|
mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-plugins-good mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-plugins-bad \
|
|
mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-plugins-ugly mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-libav \
|
|
mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-editing-services
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### GStreamer Binaries
|
|
|
|
You need to download the *two* `.msi` files for your platform from the
|
|
GStreamer website and install them, e.g. `gstreamer-1.0-x86_64-1.12.3.msi` and
|
|
`gstreamer-1.0-devel-x86_64-1.12.3.msi`.
|
|
|
|
After installation, you also need to install `pkg-config` (e.g. via MSYS2 or
|
|
from [here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgconfiglite/))
|
|
and set the `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="c:\\gstreamer\\1.0\\x86_64\\lib\\pkgconfig${PKG_CONFIG_PATH:+:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH}"
|
|
```

|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
The API reference can be found
|
|
[here](https://slomo.pages.freedesktop.org/rustdocs/gstreamer/gstreamer/), however it is
|
|
only the Rust API reference and does not explain any of the concepts.
|
|
|
|
For getting started with GStreamer development, the best would be to follow
|
|
the [documentation](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/) on the
|
|
GStreamer website, especially the [Application Development
|
|
Manual](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/application-development/).
|
|
While being C-centric, it explains all the fundamental concepts of GStreamer
|
|
and the code examples should be relatively easily translatable to Rust. The
|
|
API is basically the same, function/struct names are the same and everything
|
|
is only more convenient (hopefully) and safer.
|
|
|
|
In addition there are
|
|
[tutorials](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/tutorials/) on the
|
|
GStreamer website. Many of them were ported to Rust already and the code can
|
|
be found in the
|
|
[tutorials](https://github.com/sdroege/gstreamer-rs/tree/master/tutorials)
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
Some further examples for various aspects of GStreamer and how to use it from
|
|
Rust can be found in the
|
|
[examples](https://github.com/sdroege/gstreamer-rs/tree/master/examples)
|
|
directory.
