However, the efforts to do so are considerable, and it would be much better (and cleaner, more robust) to simply fix that library. On one hand, the source is available, so I can patch it. On the other hand, the licensing situation is unclear. Can I just copy vpu_wrapper.c/.h , patch these, and keep the patched files in the gstreamer-imx repository (this project is LGPLv2 licensed) ? If not, I will have to start thinking about a reimplementation of several VPU wrapper parts, and use the underlying imx-vpu interface directly instead. Carlos
