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
