GStreamer Video Framework, A Start and The Possiblities
I have been studying GSTREAMER as of late and actually taking my first stab at a small test implementation to understand this framework's potential. GSTREAMER is way beyond many commercial products and seems to be ahead of most open source projects that I have reviewed in this space. It is stable, expertly thought out and actually in use in several open source video applications today.
The documentation and examples assume the developer has a proper understanding of C and a basic understanding of GObject and glib. If you do not have this knowledge under your belt it maybe a good idea to start with C and than GObject and glib. This should take you about 90 days to get up to speed or shorter depending on your abilities and determination. Remember, persistence is how we get everything done!
On the 91st if you aren't any farther than you were when you started. Stop, you have no interest this space of study. You have better things to do with your time! Change the world in another way. We are awaiting your brilliance in the proper space you were meant to engage!! It will suit you better to find something else to learn which matches your passion. 90 days is the mark.. Trust me. If you don't accomplish a fair amount of tasks on a given project in 90 days your wasting your time,1 especially if you don't love it.
Now, the RTP in GStreamer is what I will be focusing on in the next couple of weeks. This RTP Framework is not the complete solution for broadcasting but is an essential part for Audio and Video Streaming solution four my current set of projects. The current goal is to simply stream a live video feed through the RTP in GStreamer and establish multiple connections. Once this is accomplished integration into a website to do a simple webcam implementation will be the next accomplishment.
From here, there are all the possibilities available.... Off to this and FFMPEG integration...
| 1 | This is not to denigrate the reader nor is it a discouragement. This is very space interesting but very involved. There are many ways to participate with this technology integration, compilation and implementation at a website end user level. Its ok not to enjoy the nuts and bolts of building these tools and applications. Though, if it becomes a struggle that's not fun and 90 days go, its better to fine something that suits your passion and provide the world with your gift of your passion's efforts. This would be the greatest use of your time and productive for the audience that is awaiting your brilliance. |
