This is GStreamer core 1.12.5.
The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the fifth bugfix release in the stable
1.12 release series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework!
This release only contains bugfixes and it is safe to update from 1.12.x. For a
full list of bugfixes see Bugzilla and the release notes.
The 1.12 stable series is now superseded by the 1.14 stable series, and 1.12.5
will likely be the last bugfix release in the 1.12 series.
Full release notes can be found at:
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.12/#1.12.5
Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided shortly
after the release.
This module will not be very useful by itself and should be used in conjunction
with other GStreamer modules for a complete multimedia experience.
- gstreamer: provides the core GStreamer libraries and some generic plugins
- gst-plugins-base: a basic set of well-supported plugins and additional
media-specific GStreamer helper libraries for audio,
video, rtsp, rtp, tags, OpenGL, etc.
- gst-plugins-good: a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred
license
- gst-plugins-ugly: a set of well-supported plugins which might pose
problems for distributors
- gst-plugins-bad: a set of plugins of varying quality that have not made
their way into one of core/base/good/ugly yet, for one
reason or another. Many of these are are production quality
elements, but may still be missing documentation or unit
tests; others haven't passed the rigorous quality testing
we expect yet.
- gst-libav: a set of codecs plugins based on the ffmpeg library. This is
where you can find audio and video decoders and encoders
for a wide variety of formats including H.264, AAC, etc.
- gstreamer-vaapi: hardware-accelerated video decoding and encoding using
VA-API on Linux. Primarily for Intel graphics hardware.
- gst-omx: hardware-accelerated video decoding and encoding, primarily for
embedded Linux systems that provide an OpenMax
implementation layer such as the Raspberry Pi.
- gst-rtsp-server: library to serve files or streaming pipelines via RTSP
- gst-editing-services: library an plugins for non-linear editing
