GStreamer 1.28 Released With More Rust Code

([Multimedia] 4 Hours Ago GStreamer 1.28)


GStreamer 1.28 is out today as the newest feature release for this widely-used, open-source multimedia framework.

With the GStreamer 1.28 feature release there is continued work from recent releases of writing more functionality in the Rust programming language for its memory safety guarantees. New Rust code in GStreamer 1.28 includes a burn-based YOLOX inference element and a YOLOX tensor decoder, an audio source separation element, a new GIF decoder element, and an Icecastsink element with AAC support

GStreamer 1.28 also brings improvements to inference elements, support for gapless looping with GstPlay, the JPEG parser has fixed handling of JPEGs with HDR gain maps, the Matroska demuxer can now handle 4K uncompressed video, Qtdemux has fixed MP4 demuxing issues, and various other fixes and improvements.

GStreamer 1.28 can be downloaded from the [1]FreeDesktop.org GitLab .

While the engineer developed his thesis, the director leaned over to
his assistant and whispered, "Did you ever hear of why the sea is salt?"
"Why the sea is salt?" whispered back the assistant. "What do you
mean?"
The director continued: "When I was a little kid, I heard the story of
`Why the sea is salt' many times, but I never thought it important until just
a moment ago. It's something like this: Formerly the sea was fresh water and
salt was rare and expensive. A miller received from a wizard a wonderful
machine that just ground salt out of itself all day long. At first the miller
thought himself the most fortunate man in the world, but soon all the villages
had salt to last them for centuries and still the machine kept on grinding
more salt. The miller had to move out of his house, he had to move off his
acres. At last he determined that he would sink the machine in the sea and
be rid of it. But the mill ground so fast that boat and miller and machine
were sunk together, and down below, the mill still went on grinding and that's
why the sea is salt."
"I don't get you," said the assistant.
