Dependencies
GStreamer Browser Sink needs the following dependencies:
- GStreamer development files
- Libsoup development files
- Libnice development files
- GStreamer plug-ins (to run the pipeline)
- Build utilities (meson, ninja, compilers, etc...)
In debian-based systems you can run:
sudo apt install \ pkg-config \ libgstreamer1.0-dev \ libsoup-3.0-dev \ libnice-dev \ libssl-dev \ gstreamer1.0-plugins-base \ gstreamer1.0-plugins-good \ gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad \ gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly \ gstreamer1.0-libav \ gstreamer1.0-nice \ gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x \ ninja-build build-essential
Meson needs to be installed from PIP:
sudo -H pip install meson
Building the project
Once the dependencies have been met you can clone the repository. You can run a default compilation with the following:
meson setup builddir --prefix /usr meson compile -C builddir sudo meson install -C builddir
You can check the installation of the plugin as follows.
gst-inspect-1.0 rrbrowsersink
The expected output will start as follows
