The GStreamer project released GStreamer 1.26.9 today as the ninth maintenance update to the latest GStreamer 1.26 series of this popular and powerful open-source, free, and cross-platform multimedia framework.
The GStreamer 1.26.9 comes about three weeks after GStreamer 1.26.8 and improves support for Blackmagic DeckLink capture cards, AJA playout, macOS video decoder and device monitoring, and Spotify integration by using Spotify’s extended metadata endpoint.
Also improved in this release is the stability of the HLS and DASH adaptive streaming clients, NDI source audio corruption for non-interleaved audio with stride padding, the stability of the playbin3 and decodebin3 elements, as well as Python bindings cross compilation.
lol only took 15 years… that’s how long ago it was when I had to write complete/custom replacement software to handle HDR on blackmagic devices instead because gstreamer couldn’t do it.
