gst-app is a template for writing your own GStreamer-based app. The code is deliberately kept simple so that you quickly understand the basics of how to set up autotools and your source tree. This template demonstrates : - what to do in autogen.sh - how to setup configure.ac (your package name and version, GStreamer flags) - how to setup your source dir - main () and main header - supporting source code - Makefile.am The template performs one simple function : loading a pipeline from xml and start to iterate it. Try saving a pipeline from gst-editor, it will play with this sample program. More features might get added to this template later on.
