Paris, France – December 17, 2024 – Motion Spell, the leading provider of professional services for GPAC, the open-source ultramedia framework for packaging, transcoding and delivery, today announced the integration of GPAC with GStreamer. This innovation bridges two of the most robust open-source projects, enabling a comprehensive solution for modern streaming workflows and addressing long standing gaps in OTT packaging.
GStreamer, renowned for its modular framework and widespread adoption, lacked a native solution for key OTT packaging protocols such as DASH, HLS and CMAF. Motion Spell’s integration solves this problem by bringing GPAC’s advanced packaging capabilities directly into GStreamer. Developers can now handle packaging, encryption, and metadata seamlessly within their existing GStreamer pipelines, eliminating inefficiencies and simplifying workflows.
The development delivers a seamless, native interaction that eliminates reliance on less efficient methods like sockets or pipes.
“By embedding GPAC into GStreamer, we’re creating a unified toolset for developers to streamline their workflows,” said Deniz Ugur, Software Architect at Motion Spell. “This integration combines the versatility of GStreamer with the advanced packaging capabilities of GPAC, setting a new standard for the streaming industry.”
The new integration offers GStreamer users an all-in-one solution for adaptive streaming. It simplifies workflows by performing more efficient media processes and packaging within GPAC. It provides tremendous flexibility, enabling access to advanced features such as subtitles, metadata, encryption and adaptive bitrate streaming. It is also scalable, with the ability to deliver smooth, high-quality streaming experiences to diverse audiences, regardless of device or connection speed.
Motion Spell remains committed to the principles of open-source collaboration.
“This is a great development that bridges both the GStreamer and the GPAC communities. The users of GStreamer will gain a professional-grade packager. The GPAC community will expand and learn from its GStreamer counterpart. We are looking forward to bringing it to our users as a new option,” said Jean Le Feuvre, Founder and Chief Architect of GPAC, at Télécom Paris.
The integration is available under the AGPLv3 license for the developer community, as well as a commercial offering for enterprises seeking tailored solutions and professional support. This dual model ensures accessibility for all while fostering sustainability and growth. Motion Spell’s approach ensures accessibility for the community while fostering a sustainable economic model.
This development signals a new era for GStreamer, expanding its capabilities and empowering its user community to tackle advanced streaming challenges with ease. Whether you’re a developer, content provider, or platform operator, this integration opens doors to new possibilities in adaptive streaming.
This announcement follows Deniz Ugur’s presentation at the 2024 GStreamer Conference, where the integration was initially previewed with live demonstrations of its technical capabilities.
