Upstreaming open-source multimedia projects

Contributing your multimedia code upstream to open-source projects isn’t just sharing: it ensures long-term stability, community validation, and increased visibility. Without proper upstreaming, companies risk maintaining patches in isolation and missing opportunities for collaboration and innovation.

Fluendo, with over 20 years of experience in GStreamer and multimedia frameworks, helps you open-source your projects efficiently.

Enhancing media integrity with Digitally Signed Content support

Enhancing media integrity with Digitally Signed Content support

Fraunhofer HHI required the integration of Digitally Signed Content (DSC) support into GStreamer to ensure content integrity and traceability across multimedia workflows. At the time, GStreamer did not provide standardized mechanisms for embedding and validating digitally signed metadata within encoded video streams, which created a gap for organizations seeking trusted and verifiable media pipelines.

Fluendo’s expertise was essential because of its 20-year history as a leader in the GStreamer community and its previous success with the SPIRIT OC1 project, which served as the baseline for this engagement. As multimedia experts with deep insight into the framework, the team was uniquely positioned to implement DSC SEI messages on top of H.266/VVC bitstreams. This project aimed to deliver a modular, maintainable solution that could be contributed upstream to the open-source community.
