First I would like to thank Igalia for giving me some time to complete this task, which took some work and began at WebKitGtk+ hackfest some time ago with Žan Doberšek and Jon McCann. Starting point was: As [...]

Attended FOSDEM 2012

Monday, February 27th, 2012

This was my first time at FOSDEM (thanks to Igalia for the sponsoring) and I was really impressed by the lots of tracks that you can find there, but as there are so many, you realize that there are many you are not interested at. The feeling is only a bit more intense than at [...]

I was writing some tests for a project at Igalia and I need to mock the convert-frame playbin2 element action. The code to invoke it is something like this: GstElement *pipeline = /* get pipeline */; GstCaps *caps = /* create caps to adapt the conversion */; GstBuffer *buffer = NULL; g_signal_emit_by_name (pipeline, “convert-frame”, caps, [...]
