Questions related to GStreamer (also known as Gst), an open source multimedia framework, powering everything from Linux servers and Linux desktop systems to a host of embedded devices.
GStreamer is a pipeline-based multimedia framework that links together a wide variety of media processing systems to complete complex workflows. For instance, GStreamer can be used to build a system that reads files in one format, processes them, and exports them in another. The formats and processes can be changed in a plug and play fashion.
GStreamer supports a wide variety of media-handling components, including simple audio playback, audio and video playback, recording, streaming and editing. The pipeline design serves as a base to create many types of multimedia applications such as video editors, transcoders, streaming media broadcasters and media players.
GStreamer has a range of bindings for various languages such as Go, Go, Rust, Vala, C++, Perl, GNU Guile, C# and Ruby. GStreamer supports gobject-introspection and can hence be used from JavaScript via the node-gtk package.
The primary purpose of this tag is for questions regarding the programmatic use of GStreamer via one of these bindings.
