+
+[GStreamer](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/) (OpenGL library)
+bindings for Rust. Documentation can be found
+[here](https://slomo.pages.freedesktop.org/rustdocs/gstreamer/gstreamer_gl/).
+
+These bindings are providing a safe API that can be used to interface with
+GStreamer, e.g. for writing GStreamer-based applications and GStreamer plugins.
+
+The bindings are mostly 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.

+
+## Installation
+
+To build the GStreamer bindings or anything depending on them, you
+need to have at least GStreamer 1.14 and gst-plugins-base 1.14
+installed. In addition, some of the examples/tutorials require various
+GStreamer plugins to be available, which can be found in
+gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-bad, gst-plugins-ugly
+and/or gst-libav.
+
+
+
+### 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 libgstrtspserver-1.0-dev
+```
+
+The minimum required version of the above libraries is >= 1.14. See
+the `Cargo.toml` files for the full details,
+
+Package names on other distributions should be similar.
+Please submit a pull request with instructions for yours.
+
+
+
+### 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
+
+Homebrew only installs various plugins if explicitly enabled, so some extra
+`--with-*` flags may be required.
+
+```
+$ brew install gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good \
+ gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-ugly gst-libav gst-rtsp-server \
+ gst-editing-services --with-orc --with-libogg --with-opus \
+ --with-pango --with-theora --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx \
+ --enable-gtk3
+```
+
+Please, make sure the version of these libraries is >= 1.14.
+
+#### GStreamer Binaries
+
+You need to download the *two* `.pkg` files from the GStreamer website and
+install them, e.g. `gstreamer-1.0-1.14.4-x86_64.pkg` and
+`gstreamer-1.0-devel-1.14.4-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="/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/Current/lib/pkgconfig${PKG_CONFIG_PATH:+:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH}"
+```
+
+
+
+### 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-rtsp-server
+```
+
+Please, make sure the version of these libraries is >= 1.14.
+
+#### 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_64-1.14.4.msi` and
+`gstreamer-1.0-devel-x86_64-1.14.4.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://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/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://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer-rs/tree/master/examples)
+directory.
+
+Various GStreamer plugins written in Rust can be found in the
+[gst-plugins-rs](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs)
+repository.
