So that we generate a ABI compatible structure and make it working.
Also this is the way we do it for almost all other structures of this
kind.
I first tried to keep having a managed structure that properly matches
the C structure ABI generating in the gtk-sharp generator Explicit structure
for the union as we do with non managed structures but this is not
possible and leads to the following assertion in mono:
Type Gst.Video.VideoInfo/__ABI which has an [ExplicitLayout] attribute cannot have a reference field at the same offset as another field.
This sensibly changes the API but I bet noone will even notice.

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.
Building & Installing
With meson:
meson build && ninja -C build/
With Autotools:
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr && make install
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
