Release notes for GStreamer Base Plugins 1.0.2
|
||
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new bug-fix release
|
||
in the 1.x stable series of the
|
||
core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
|
||
It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.10.x series.
|
||
It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.10.x series and
|
||
will not affect an existing 0.10.x installation.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
This module contains a set of reference plugins, base classes for other
|
||
plugins, and helper libraries. It also includes essential elements such
|
||
as audio and video format converters, and higher-level components like playbin,
|
||
decodebin, encodebin, and discoverer.
|
||
|
||
This module is kept up-to-date together with the core developments. Element
|
||
writers should look at the elements in this module as a reference for
|
||
their development.
|
||
|
||
This module contains elements for, among others:
|
||
|
||
device plugins: x(v)imagesink, alsa, v4lsrc, cdparanoia
|
||
containers: ogg
|
||
codecs: vorbis, theora
|
||
text: textoverlay, subparse
|
||
sources: audiotestsrc, videotestsrc, giosrc
|
||
network: tcp
|
||
typefind functions
|
||
audio processing: audioconvert, adder, audiorate, audioresample, volume
|
||
visualisation: libvisual
|
||
video processing: videoconvert, videoscale
|
||
high-level components: playbin, uridecodebin, decodebin, encodebin, discoverer
|
||
libraries: app, audio, fft, pbutils, riff, rtp, rtsp, sdp, tag, video
|
||
|
||
|
||
Other modules containing plugins are:
|
||
|
||
|
||
gst-plugins-good
|
||
contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
|
||
gst-plugins-ugly
|
||
contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
|
||
distributors
|
||
gst-plugins-bad
|
||
contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
|
||
rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation
|
||
and/or unit tests
|
||
gst-libav
|
||
contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
