Guadec hacking
Monday, July 23rd, 2007While enjoying Guadec in sunny Birmingham i found some time to hack on a long awaited FLV (Flash video) format demuxer for GStreamer.
This is in no way affiliated with Fluendo proprietary codecs and i released it under LGPL in the gst-plugins-bad CVS module.
It is still rather an alpha version but it works pretty well and i strongly encourage people, who asked for it to wrap some “YouTube” content in their GStreamer application, to start playing with it.
Indeed it works in pull and push mode so you can just play a video from an HTTP uri directly with playbin. Next points on my todo list is to make it handle seeking using metadata index and maybe make it handle HTTP/1.1 seeks to jump in the file without prior downloading.
