Multimedia

Sailfish Multimedia uses QtMultimedia, on top of GStreamer 1.0 supporting the 'good' and 'bad' plugin collections. The 'ugly' plugin set is not supported for licensing reasons.


Some low-level media services that interact with the Android HAL are wrapped up in droidmedia, and exposed in a custom Gstreamer plugin: GStreamer1.0-droid. This includes support for OMX codecs (H.264/AVC, VP8, MPEG-4 & H.263 video, MP3 & AAC audio), Camera support (including direct capture and encoding of video for recording) and EGL display, which can all use Android native buffers and formats internally for added performance.
