gstreamer-sharp
gstreamer-sharp is a .NET/mono binding for Gstreamer generated from gobject-introspection data using the bindinator. gstreamer-sharp currently wraps the API exposed by Gstreamer 1.12 and is compatible with newer gstreamer versions. It was developed under GSoC 2014 for the mono organization. gstreamer-sharp covers the core and base gstreamer libraries.
Prerequisites
These libraries are needed for clutter-sharp to compile:
- gstreamer core, base and good 1.4 or higher
- gtk-sharp 3.22.6 or higher - NOTE: This can be built as a meson subproject if using the meson build system.
You will also need various .NET/mono bits (mcs and al). On debian-based distros you can install these with:
sudo apt-get install mono-mcs mono-devel
Building & Installing
meson build && ninja -C build/
HACKING
While hacking on the code generator or the .metadata files, you will
need to force code regeneration with ninja update-code, a full rebuild
is triggered right after.
Updating to new GStreamer version
- Make sure bindinator is installed on the system
Make sure you are in an environement where latest .gir files are available (either install
or through the $GI_TYPELIB_PATH env var).
ninja -C update-all
- Verify newly generated code and
git addfiles insources/generated/andges/generated - Commit
Supported Platforms
- Linux
- Mac OS X
Quick Start
gstreamer-sharp provides ports of all samples from gst-docs in the samples folder.
Documentation
Since this is a gobject-introspection binding the recommended documentation is the native gstreamer documentation. A monodoc generated documentation will be installed.
Roadmap
- Add an easy way to compile on Windows
- iOS and Android support
- Provide binaries for these platforms
