|

Since the 0.3.3 release of GStreamer, we use GLib 2.0 as the core library
|
||||
for GStreamer, which features a move of GObject from GTK+ 2.0 to GLib 2.0.
|
||||
If you want to compile using GTK+ 1.2/GLib 1.2, you need to get the
|
||||
0.3.1 or earlier release. It is of course not supported.

Yes, we have no X dependency in any of our core modules. There are GStreamer
|
||||
applications that run fine without any need for X. However, until our Linux
|
||||
Framebuffer or libsvga plugin is ready, you will not be able to play videos
|
||||
without X. In the future, there will probably be lots of different output
|
||||
plugins for video available.
|
||||
Yes, we have no hard X dependency in any of our modules. There are many
|
||||
GStreamer applications that run fine without any need for X, for example
|
||||
streaming servers, transcoding applications, or audio applications that
|
||||
don't output any video. Other applications output video to a framebuffer,
|
||||
custom-made hardware sinks, or via wayland.

<answer>

<para>
|

No. But many of the applications developed for GStreamer do, including our
|
||||
sample applications. There is nothing hindering people from developing
|
||||
applications using other toolkits however and we would happily help promote
|
||||
such efforts. A good example of an application using GStreamer, but which is

not using GNOME is the

|

No. But many of the applications developed for GStreamer do, including some
|
||||
of our sample applications. Other applications use the Qt toolkit, or are
|
||||
written for Mac OS/X or Windows. We aim to provide API that is toolkit
|
||||
agnostic and can be used from any toolkit, desktop environment or operating
|

system.
