Digging further into Flatpak with NVIDIA
As you may know the development environment used by WebKitGTK and WPE is based on Flatpak. I feel hacking software within Flatpak like teleoperating a rover in Mars, since I have to go through Flatpak commands to execute the commands I want to execute. The learning curve is steeper in exchange of a common development environment.

GstVA in GStreamer 1.20
It was a year and half ago when I announced a new VA-API H.264 decoder element in gst-plugins-bad. And it was bundled in GStreamer release 1.18 a couple months later. Since then, we have been working adding more decoders and filters, fixing bugs, and enhancing its design. I wanted to publish this blog post as soon as release 1.20 was announced, but, since the developing window is closed, which means no more new features will be included, I’ll publish it now, to create buzz around the next GStreamer release.
