Looking for documentation

Wesley Miller

Hi All,

I know it's out there, I just don't know where.  Could someone point me to:

Documentation on the TI* gstreamer stages?  particularly a "How to Use" and a list/explanation of the codecs they support.

Documentation on writing and compiling Gstreamer programs.  In particular, where are the libs?  Ti vs. RR?

thanks,

Wes

    Wes,

     

    Most, if not all, of the info you are looking for should be found through the various links and documentation here:

    https://gstreamer.ti.com/gf/project/gstreamer_ti/

    Jeff,

     

    Well, I didn't get a lot out of this site.  Could be that I gave up before i found the pearls but mostly i ended up on GIT repositioris, bug tracks and How To-s about building varius things.

     

    I found the follow great site: GstTiPlugin Elements that helped a lot to explain the various TIDec and TIEnc GST pipe stages.

     

    I also found this forum posting that explains:

    Note that if you are using the bleeding-edge patches to support DVSDK 3.10, we've re-named the engine from "encode" to "codecServer" because it also includes decoders.  We just haven't gotten as far as making this documentation change yet.

     

    I still need to find a list of the supported codecs served by the codecServer.

     

    And I'd still like to find a programming example that uses gstreamer.  I've written gst code on other linux platforms.  I'd just like to know the special quirks for the TI EVM build and see the makefile(s).

     

    Wes.

    Hello,

    GStreamer-ti plugin is community project and if you feel something is missing or have encountered bug then please raise those to gstreamer-ti community forums or tracker. The wiki page you referred is listed in documentation section. May be you should have clicked "documentation link given in very first line on welcome message.

    ---------------------------------------

    Welcome to the GStreamer on TI DaVinci and OMAP processors project.  For information on getting started and using this project please refer to the project wiki and the available documentation.

    -------------------------------------------

    The gstreamer.ti.com page contains a matrix showing the status of various DVSDK's and tested container formats.  gst-ti plugin README.txt will also has information about supported  DVSDK versions. The plugin itself does not contain audio/video encoder/decoder, it uses the codecs from your DVSDK. And typically it support most of the audio/video codec present in DVSDK's codec server. If something is missing then please ask ongstreamer.ti.com forum for status and feel free to contribute missing parts. We need your help !

    There is no special quirks while writing gst application on TI platform, all you need to do is uses the right elements for your pipeline.  

    Thanks
