GStreamer rocks!

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

It’s dull and takes a long time to do anything? No, quite the opposite actually. I was rather dismayed to recently find that GStreamer was unable to play an MPEG2 transport stream, as neither of the two plugins that are supposed to be able to do this (ffdemux_mpegts which is part of GStreamer and flutsdemux which is produced by Fluendo) were working. So this morning I reported a bug against ffdemux_mpegts, mentioning in passing that the Fluendo plugin didn’t work either. Three hours later, both plugins have been fixed.

Rock on GStreamer devs!
