qmlglsink - GStreamer and Qt's QML
Windows Support - NEW!! Just recently, I added the missing piece for adding Windows support for qmlglsink for QtQuick 2 applications (tracked by this bug ) with this commit which means that qmlglsink is now usable on all major platforms 1 . With the list of supported platforms (Android, iOS, OS X, Windows, Linux) for qmlglsink growing, I thought I'd write a little bit about it and why you should use it. qmlglsink is a GStreamer element that will render a video stream into a QtQuick QML scene. As you can see from this example , qmlglsink does this by providing a GstGLVideoItem QML item that can be placed anywhere in the scene. The GstGLVideoItem is given a unique name to be able to link the element and the QML item. Without this link, the element cannot render the stream anywhere and will fail changing state. In the C++ code, we then retrieve the GstGLVideoItem by name like so . Then we set the pipeline to playing, start Qt's mainloop and watch the show. Why Use qml...
