As part of the ongoing effort to support GStreamer, the GNU/Linux and Unix multimedia framework, Fluendo is releasing the source code for some of their high-quality GStreamer plugins. The first plugin available is a demuxer for the MPEG2 Program Stream and Transport Stream container format.
The Fluendo public source code repository will give developers access to a range of high-quality plugins for the GStreamer multimedia framework under widely accepted open source licences.
The source code of these plugins will be available and will work just like the plugins shipping together with the GStreamer project itself. The main difference is that Fluendo requests copyright assignment for changes submitted by the developer community.
“ We are happy to make this code available to the wider developer community and hope to encourage other companies working with the Open Source and Free Software developer community to do the same. ” Fluendo Business Manager Christian Schaller says. “ In the coming months we plan on adding more plugins to this repository and hopefully it will be a useful resource for both developers and users. ”
The GStreamer framework is the leading multimedia framework on Unix and GNU/Linux systems. It is deployed as part of the GNOME desktop used by vendors such as Red Hat, Novell, Sun and Canonical, and used by server side products such as the Flumotion Streaming Media Server from Fluendo. GStreamer is also being used as the primary multimedia engine on the Nokia 770 internet tablet.
Fluendo is a company specialized in delivering products and consulting services focusing on UNIX and GNU/Linux multimedia. Fluendo employs several of the central developers of the GStreamer multimedia framework, which is quickly establishing itself as the de-facto standard multimedia framework for GNU/Linux and UNIX systems.
Fluendo's flagship product is the streaming media server, Flumotion, endowed with a unique and powerful distributed design. Fluendo comes out ahead by combining best-of-breed systems from the Open Source world with a strong team of highly knowledgeable software engineers and a management team with a lot of streaming media expertise.
