Don't forget about gstreamer. Both FFMPEG and gstreamer are used in many production environments. That said, you also find professional codecs and transport libraries. I've worked on projects using Main Concept codecs and custom plumbing, for instance.
- kiwijamo 5y agoGenuine question: Are there any actual examples of giant companies using gstreamer? Why I ask is that pretty much the only reason I have gstreamer installed on my pesonal laptop is to satisfy certain GNOME dependencies (due to GNOME, understandably, dogfooding its own stuff). Everything else (including apps I use daily e.g. mpv, Firefox, etc) depends on ffmpeg. $ sudo pacman -Rs gstreamer checking dependencies... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: removing gstreamer breaks dependency 'gstreamer' required by cheese :: removing gstreamer breaks dependency 'gstreamer' required by gnome-shell :: removing gstreamer breaks dependency 'gstreamer' required by gst-plugins-base-libs :: removing gstreamer breaks dependency 'gstreamer' required by libcheese :: removing gstreamer breaks dependency 'gstreamer' required by webkit2gtk :: removing gstreamer breaks dependency 'gstreamer' required by webkit2gtk-4.1
- squeaky-clean 5y agoI work at a company acquired by Motorola Solutions and we use gstreamer, but I don't know about MSI overall, just our division. We also use ffmpeg for some things, lol.
- eschneider 5y agoOverall, they do not use gstreamer. You guys are the outliers. :)
- icelancer 5y agogstreamer is ubiquitous in research labs that depend on video - extremely common
- rurban 5y agoYes. On Windows actually :) Debian is not the best maintained distro.
- laumars 5y agoDebian doesn’t use pacman. Odds are it was Arch (though pacman has been ported to other platforms).
- kiwijamo 5y agoIt was indeed Arch. Not sure about the comment about Debian as IIRC it's more or less the same in Debian. Using gstreamer seems to be more of a GNOME thing than anything to do with distros.
- ncmncm 5y agoDebian tried to switch from ffmpeg to libav. It didn't turn out well. But it generally gives me no trouble.
- jon-wood 5y agoRDK is the firmware used on a wide variety of set-top boxes, routers, and IoT devices: https://rdkcentral.com/ https://rdkcentral.com/ The core media pipeline is almost all gstreamer, ffmpeg, and just because I think it’ll surprise some people, Wayland.
- dmr_92 5y agoDon't know if you'd consider them giant, but a former colleague tells me that Pexip uses Gstreamer for video-wrangling. (Hearsay, admittedly)
- roeles 5y agoI have used gstreamer for the Dutch Railways, to stream the announcements to passengers in certain types of rolling stock. The announcements are generated as text, go through a text-to-speech engine and are then streamed to the rolling stock. As you'd expect, every manufacturer uses a different method to broadcast the announcement.
- monsecchris 5y agoNVidia uses it a lot on their Jetson platform.
- eschneider 5y agoYes. It’s embedded in a surprisingly large number of embedded devices.
