DM8168 and GStreamer

Kevin Hu

Since there apparently is currently no GStreamer support for the TI DM8168, would it be possible to simply download the GStreamer source and using the board's toolchain, build GStreamer for it?  I know that it wouldn't take full advantage of the board, but wondered if GStreamer would work?

    Kevin,

    You're correct in that there is not currently support for TI DM8168.  If you don't care about hardware-accelerated multimedia, I don't see why you couldn't build and run the base components.  Using SDK 5.0, you could try taking the latest source from gstreamer.ti.com, and instead of typing "make all install" to build it, you type "make opensource_build install" instead.  It should just build the base components, and it will not build the TI GStreamer plugin.  I've not tried this, and I can't guarantee that you won't need to make a small modification to the build script, and you might need to add-in support for non-accelerated video codecs like the ffmpeg plugin if that's what you want (which I'm not sure what all it involves).

    You can also try posting questions on the forums at http://gstreamer.ti.com -- there may be others in the community that may be able to help.

    Best regards,
    Don

    Kevin,

    as Don mentioned, standard Gstreamer should still work for it. RidgeRun plans to provide commercial support DM8168 in the future, but we haven't get our hands into the board yet.

    I think that you can also give it a shot by using gst-ducati, I understand it may work on DM8168 for HW accelerated gstreamer: http://bloggingthemonkey.blogspot.com/2010/11/announcing-libdce-and-gst-ducati.html

    On a dm8169 we have the openmax plugins working and can view HD serial streams via HDMI ports on a custom board. I would like to view this stream in a QT window on that very HDMI port with -qws. I do have QT and gfx apps running on the HDMI port. I am unable to build gstreamer from svn (gstreamer_ti_dm81xx) or the full plugin (https://gstreamer.ti.com/gf/project/gstreamer_ti/frs/). There are problems with the build, glib not found during build (using generated configure builds makefile). This is addressed in my posting here http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/linux/f/354/t/242833.aspx 

    Has anybody built gstreamer that interfaces to the cortex plugins which displays localhost steamed video in a QT window?

    Thanks
