KDE4 reference

I removed the reference to KDE 4, since KDE 4 seems to not depend on Gstreamer

I'll accept the removal as unsourced, but KDE4's libs are still in development so it could do. 84.64.119.75 16:12, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

--195.10.6.237 14:28, 18 May 2007 (UTC) The full name of Fluendo is indeed Fluendo S.A. since circa June 2006, even though the website points to the opposite.

Fair use rationale for Image:Gstreamer-logo.png

Image:Gstreamer-logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

This was fixed long since - the logo is stored on Wikimedia commons and marked as being under the GPL Thaytan (talk) 07:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Portal:Free software: GStreamer is now the selected article

Just to let you know. The purpose of selecting an article is both to point readers to the article and to highlight it to potential contributors. It will remain on the portal for a week or so. The previous selected article was Cygwin - a system that makes MS Windows as GNU-like as possible.

For other interesting free software articles, you can take a look at the archive of PF's selectees. --Gronky (talk) 14:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Things moved on, as usual, and the new selectee is OpenBSD security features. That's a quite-complete article that I hadn't seen before on some of the crypto and configuration enhancements that OpenBSD makes compared to other operating systems. --Gronky (talk) 08:25, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Criticism

The ABI of GStreamer is stable. The 0.8 and 0.10 series are parallel installable and the development team runs tests to ensure ABI stability. I would like to see the critism section as it is being removed. Ensonic (talk) 11:32, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I removed the section. The KDE design decission for phonon has nothing to do with GStreamer stability. The paragraph about KDE and ARTS is imho totaly irrelevant for this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.133.111.163 (talk) 13:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Licensing Issues

Someone (posting from an IP owned by RealNetworks *ahem*) recently added a clause about GStreamer not requiring copyright assignments being a 'significant risk on commercial distributors'. I added a cite needed flag, but really I think we it should just be removed, since it is unsubstantiated legal advice not typically provided on Wikipedia entries about software. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thaytan (talk • contribs) 13:34, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Looks like Uraeus beat me to it and removed the clause --Thaytan (talk) 13:46, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal

• GStreamer FFmpeg plug-in:

That stub probably doesn't pass WP:N for a separate article. Suggest it be merged here. Pcap ping 00:22, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

There's so little to say in it, that i agree that i should be incorporated here. --Jerome Potts (talk) 23:52, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

• OggConvert

I also suggest to merge the article on that front-end here. Please voice your opinion on this matter at the ongoing Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/OggConvert_(2nd_nomination). Pcap ping 00:29, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Plugin set contents?

What codecs are supported by good, bad, ugly? -- 85.228.19.156 (talk) 23:26, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

GStreamer version 1.4

No, Wikipedia:NOTCHANGELOG, but the differences between GStreamer versions 1.3.90 and 1.2 are quite extensive and some of the changes belong into the article — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScotXW (talk • contribs)

Difference of using Streamer to using avplay

avplay is part of Libav. Where is the difference of using avplay to using GStreamer through gst-launch/GNOME Videos/Snappy? In other words, I do not understand what "a pipeline-based multimedia framework" is supposed to be. User:ScotXW^t@lk 14:52, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

To answer my own question: see this scheme I created. GStreamer is an entire framework and it needs to load codec libraries (libav/ffmpeg) to play some file. avplay loads this libraries as well and can only play the file. A program like GNOME Videso or Snappy instead of loading libav/ffmpeg, which would "only" enable them to play files, relay instead on GStreamer and thus could to more, though their GUIs does not allow for as much as the CLI tool does. I think thats where the confusion came from. In case you definitely only want to watch some video, GStreamer IS overkill. On the other side, may people seem to prefer using the same application for video and audio, and in case of audio, it has become more widespread to load your music file from the network. Support for this is already in GStreamer. User:ScotXW^t@lk 09:14, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
