Is there any chance to use the gstreamer as the backend of the Webcam driver

[He-Pin]

Hi ,Thanks,can we make the gstreamer as the backend just as the ffmpeg ?
using the gstreamer to grab the image ,write to pipe ,and then read it on the java side?

Yes, this is doable.

Actually, we could try to do something more and use gstreamer-java to do the same thing. Unfortunately I'm terrible busy with the problems we have on our customers sites, so I will not be able to code anything at least till the end of this week... :(

@sarxos

after a deep try ,seems the speed is slow,so closing it now,and may be reopen in future

[sarxos]

Ok, thank you!

I'm preparing experimental GStremer driver (just to learn more about it), so I'm opening this issue again.

@sarxos ,thanks very much,I am a little busy with our qt project.take care!

I will keep my fingers crossed for your success in Qt world :D In terms of the gstreamer driver - I'm pretty surprised of how the whole gstreamer engine Java port works - after I learnt the very basics it seems very fluent and intuitive, much better than ffmpeg. Take care!

haha ,you always like to say "I will keep my fingers crossed ****",thanks
for your hard work on this great lib.I was spending my time on netty4,maybe
i will write an new example for netty4 for your lib.cause the gc is reduced
in netty4,

@sarxos ,so it seem like that the gstreamer is more nice than ffmpeg?

[sarxos]

From my experience I can say "yes". I had a possibility to learn something about both of them, and it seems to me like gstreamer is much more organized. Not sure if more powerful or with better performance, but for sure much easier to learn. Also, very important in terms of my project is the fact that Java binding for gstreamer is available in Maven central (where FFmpeg Java bindings are not there), and having all required JARs in Maven Central reduces the time required to test, build and deploy final artifacts (both ZIP and JAR files). Just FYI, I used Java port available here.

Just FYI, GStreamer API support has been implemented :)
