GStreamer
The ultimate open-source solution for multimedia processing and workflows
GStreamer is a versatile, pipeline-based multimedia framework that seamlessly connects various media processing tools, enabling efficient, complex multimedia workflows across platforms.
What is GStreamer?
GStreamer is a powerful, open-source multimedia framework packed with features. It is mainly used to develop media applications for streaming, playback, non-linear editing, and more. Designed to simplify building applications that handle audio, video, and synchronized metadata, GStreamer leverages a flexible plugin system, providing various codecs and media processing tools.
Compatible with all major operating systems— including Linux, Android, Windows, macOS, and iOS —GStreamer also supports diverse hardware architectures such as x86, ARM, MIPS, and SPARC. It offers an extensive library of multimedia plugins (encoders, decoders, filters, etc.) and allows easy integration of third-party plugins. With comprehensive, developer-friendly documentation and a robust community contributing to its continuous development, GStreamer is a top choice for creating complex, efficient multimedia workflows.
