GStreamer plugins on DM388

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DM388

Hi, 

I have a DM388 IPNC and am trying to run GStreamer on it.

Though the TI GStreamer plugins 1.02.00 doesn't not support DM388, I wonder if it is possible to port it to DM388 with slight modifications. When I am trying to build it, I find that it needs DMAI support. I couldn't find DMAI in either the RDK or online for DM388. Is DMAI supported on DM388? 

If TI GStreamer plugins 1.02.00 can't be ported to DM388, my backup plan is to install OpenMax and GStreamer OpenMax plugins on DM388. Has anyone done this before? I find the following GStreamer OpenMax plugins:
gst-omx
gst-openmax-dm81xx
gst-rr-openmax-dm81xx
Which one would be the most appropriate for DM388?
What other packages are needed for GStreamer OpenMax plugin to work? Is libOMX_Core-DM81xx enough?

Thank you.

  • IPNC RDK doesn't support gstreamer plugins. DMAI is not supported on DM388.

    gst-openmax will also _not_ work since the firmware in IPNC RDK doesn't use openmax components and will not operate with gst-openmax.

    ezSDK on ti814x supports gst-openmax but I think porting ezsdk to a new platform like DM388 is significant effort so unfortunately I don't see any option of supporting gst plugins apart from writing new gst plugins based on IPNC links and chains . I believe this would also involve significant effort.

    Are you looking for encode functionality or decode functionality in gstreamer in DM388 ?

  • Thank you Badri for the very helpful information.

    We want to have both video encoding and decoding functionality in GStreamer on DM388.

    What's the complexity of porting OpenMax IL to DM388 compared to porting ezSDK to DM388?
