I wonder why @aranet_home 's app needs my location in order to start detecting my device via Bluetooth, and why it needs to contact those external companies. Sentry is possibly for crash reporting, but my app didn't crash.

We are thrilled to have been funded by @sovtechfund to rewrite @gstreamer's RTP/RTSP stack in Rust. Their investment in @gstreamer has allowed us to lay a strong foundation for replacing the existing C stack—with improved safety, better perf, and a more flexible architecture.

@Argorak There's also a lot of other stuff that would seem useful to teach people for any kind of activity that involves a certain risk. Say, taking safety seriously and not taking shortcuts or even brag about not requiring any safety measures... More people should take diving lessons :)

There's a cardinal rule they teach you in diving on _the very first certification_: Don't do a dive you don't feel comfortable with, and don't ever try to coerce someone else to do it if they don't. I'm pretty convinced the older 4 dudes were in for the ride. The kid, I'm not :/.

If there's one aspect that I was fearing about this whole submarine situation is that the 19 year old teenager was kind of tagged along with the parent and was not fully along for the ride. This seems to indicate it was the case. nbcnews.com/news/world/tit…

@Argorak As @nirbheek put it the other day: This is the fourth time that the Rust project / foundation has done something that makes me raise my eyebrows and glance nervously at our investment into Rust as a platform language.

This trust has been a cornerstone for the industrial adoption of Rust. It's been a decade to build (yes, I've been with Rust for a decade), often within a team that didn't see this as much. It's been thoroughly trashed over the last 2 years.

This makes me so ashamed - not only because it's a bad incident, but because it damages so much of the work I've done on the Rust project. I always wanted Rust to be a reliable project to interact with. And for a long time it was. soasis.org/posts/statemen…

@srs_server @VcWabKDHN9OVdYq @oliviercrete @Steven_Liu_Qi @FFmpeg Also just to be clear, there are enough valid reasons to use FFmpeg over GStreamer or the other way around and I think it's great to have WHIP support in FFmpeg too. The more software supports WHIP/WHEP or WebRTC in general, the better.

@srs_server @VcWabKDHN9OVdYq @oliviercrete @Steven_Liu_Qi @FFmpeg Generally, what you can implement in C you can also implement in Rust. If that's not clear, I would suggest doing some research before making such statements. Also there's even a WebRTC implementation in Go: github.com/pion/webrtc 🤷

I submitted the first version of a patch that supports WHIP to ffmpeg-devel, everyone is welcome to review and test together. @srs_server @FFmpeg patch: @chinaffmpeg.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg… usage: #usage" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/ossrs/ffmpeg-w…

Over the Easter holidays I experimented a bit with building Rust code with meson instead of cargo. I tried building a GStreamer plugin with 40+ Rust dependencies, but the same applies in a similar way to GTK/GNOME applications or anything else. coaxion.net/blog/2023/04/b…

@berkus @steveklabnik Kind of blocked on getting some symphonia changes merged gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-… There is a Rust based Vorbis and FLAC decoder based on other crates though.

📢 GStreamer 1.21.3 is out! This is another development release on the road to the upcoming 1.22 stable release and is aimed primarily at developers and early adopters. Give it a spin and let us know how it goes! Binary packages will follow shortly.

@LuisFCorreia @cfkschaller @alatiera_ @gstreamer @GTKtoolkit Just for the higher DPI for font rendering it's absolutely worth it.

@alatiera_ @gstreamer @GTKtoolkit I did some testing here. When using VA for hardware decoding an AV1 4k60fps video, CPU usage goes down by a factor of 12x to something around 3-5% (100% = one core is fully used).

Rust India organizer @SanchayanMaity will speak at Rust conference tomorrow on how Rust and GStreamer can be used for building multimedia pipelines. Stay at home and watch later, or attend in person - hasgeek.com/rustlang/rustl… @hasgeek @DevShenoi

We did manage to achieve a lower latency of ~90.5ms (±10%) with an uncompressed @gstreamer #16bit #44100hz #RTP stereo stream via #UDP to a local handler server and then #websocket transport to the listener device. The drawback is occasional audio dropouts due to lack of buffer.

Just merged a #qt6 #qml #opengl @gstreamer sink element. Currently supports Linux (EGL/GLX) and MacOS. gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstr…

This looks very interesting. Vanadium dioxide seems to be able to store and recall information in the atomic and molecular configurations of its glass structure. Said information is not binary, but can have several states. bigthink.com/the-future/van…

gstreamerのgst-plugins-rsのrgb2grayチュートリアルをやってみたら0.3fpsくらいしか出ず。 release buildにしたらちゃんと30fpsでた。 ループや画像処理周りはやっぱり最適化の影響大きいんだなぁ

A newish fragmented MP4 muxer can be found here: gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-… Together these two new plugins will hopefully become a good base for the future.

Compared to existing MP4/MOV/etc muxer this, by design, does not support fragmented MP4. Handling both cases in the old codebase together made the code quite confusing.

Over the last few days I wrote a new ✨​ @GStreamer MP4 muxer ✨ plugin in @rustlang 🦀 It's merged now into gst-plugins-rs: gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-…
