All,

GStreamer is an open-source multimedia pipeline engine.  TI is pleased to announce that we have created a plugin for GStreamer that contains several elements to enable the use of TI hardware with GStreamer.  This includes elements to use the DSP or other hardware accelerators to encode and decode audio, video, and images.  This is a base port to enable developers to use GStreamer on their embedded devices to allow for a more multimedia rich offering.  The code has been designed to be highly portable between TI processors.  We currently support the following processors:

- DM644x
- DM355
- DM6467
- OMAP3

On those processors we support playback of elementary streams as well as transport streams, AVI files, and mp4 streams.  As new processors are released we are adding their support to the GStreamer implementation.
 
We have partnered with RidgeRun for support.  The support model is that customers can use open-source resources to solve problems but if they need more detailed help, custom features, or help in productizing their offering they can buy a support contract from RidgeRun.

The project is hosted on a GForge server at http://gstreamer.ti.com.  There is an initial 0.99.00 release available at that site which will support decoding of audio, video, and images as well as the encoding of images.  Support for encoding of audio and video is in the development trunk of the repository but has not yet been fully tested.  For more information on this project please visit http://gstreamer.ti.com 

What's coming:

1. Support for DM357
2. Support beagleboard (using Arago/OpenEmbedded)
3. New release with tested audio/video encoders
