If you use #Linux on your desktop, the foundation you *should* support is not the Linux foundation, but rather the @XOrgFoundation AKA freedesktop.org. The X.Org foundation is the home of:
- #X11
- #Wayland
- #Mesa
- #Noveau
- #DBus
- #GRUB
- #GStreamer
- #PulseAudio
- #PipeWire
- #NetworkManager
- the Linux kernel graphics subsystem
- the #XDG base directory specification
- and more!Also, development of what would later become #Flatpak started here.
These projects have a way stronger impact on your day-to-day computing experience than anything managed by the Linux foundation.

Adding a secondary screen to your Qt-based product is often expensive and complex. What if you could turn your users' smartphones, tablets, or laptops into an interface for your application instead?
In this video, Christoph Sterz demonstrates how to extend your existing Qt application with #WebRTC streaming, allowing it to be accessed from any device with a modern web browser. This solution functions like a high-performance live stream, but with a critical advantage: full bidirectional interaction.
Using #GStreamer, Christoph handles video capture and encoding directly on the #GPU, ensuring efficiency while maintaining low latency. We also utilize a specialized backchannel to send touch, keyboard, and mouse inputs from the browser back to your app, meaning users can operate your software remotely.
This video covers:
- High-Performance Streaming: Why we use GStreamer to keep video processing on the GPU.
- Full #Interactivity: How to implement the WebRTC backchannel for remote control.
- Implementation Guide: A walkthrough of the code and the streaming pipeline.
- Real-World Use Cases: From headless industrial #IoT devices to remote maintenance and offsite quality assurance.Watch the full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhJCvV8Z5-I

GStreamer can now also run on your robot vacuum!
After my dustsrc talk during the last GStreamer Conference ( https://indico.freedesktop.org/event/11/contributions/516/ ), the wonderful @Hypfer took it, fixed a couple of bugs, managed to build it into a single executable, turned it into an actual product, and integrated it into Valetudo: https://github.com/Hypfer/Valetudo/releases#release-2026.08.0
So, right now, Valetudo can display an mpeg-1-in-mpegTS video stream that comes from your robot vacuum. I'm impressed by the pure-JavaScript demuxing and decoding library, but also by the old CRT look and agingTV-esque effects to indicate signal quality.

Good news: the performance problems I found in Showtime 50.0's gtk4paintablesink while attempting to play 4K videos… appear to be a collection of known issues that have their own tickets and pending merge requests.
The new finding, however, is that Mesa's "ANV" (Vulkan driver for Intel GPUs) does not seem to support P010 formats even when the hardware actually supports P010. Reported here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/work_items/15984

Gstreamer: 75 CVEs, 96% unpatched. Max CVSS 8.8. Top weakness: CWE-125 (out-of-bounds read). Trust Score: C. Open-source media framework—critical, yet largely unpatched. Check your Linux stack. #Gstreamer #infosec #cybersecurity

Grabbed my bunch of 4K video samples (in VP9 and HEVC/H.265 formats) and gave the latest versions of #GStreamer a try, to see if my playback performance issues have indeed been solved. Well… it seems there's still some room for improvement with gtk4paintablesink 😉 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/work_items/5236

GStreamer: 75 CVEs, avg CVSS 7.6, 96% unpatched. Trust Score: C. Critical multimedia framework for Linux—weaknesses in buffer overflows (CWE-125, CWE-190). Patch gaps risk embedded devices. #GStreamer #infosec #cybersecurity

Turns out that
gstreamerchokes itself to death after about 14 hours consuming the absolute drivel from these cheap webcams (ffmpegdid similar but more quickly.)Simple solution: restart it every 8 hours.
Couldn’t find an equivalent to
ffmpeg -t hh:mm:ssthough; just stucktimeout 28800in front and wrapped it in a comfortingwhile trueloop. -
It seems that
gstreamercan fix up the wacky webcam timestamps whilst using fewer CPU thanffmpeg(which is handy because I’m running out of spare CPU becausehomeassistantis a resource hog.)gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://source/path ! rtph264depay ! rtspclientsink location=rtsp://mediamtx:8554/publish_path -

Thinking of updating and polishing up this Vite plugin for making GTK apps with Vue that I wrote way back, but with JSX and Adwaita. Then I could translate my browser based video editor into a #gnome app with #GStreamer instead of WebCodecs?

That sample video provided by @slomo in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/showtime/-/work_items/288 is 10/10 high-quality bespoke GStreamer-powered performance trolling of GNOME's entire graphics stack—UI toolkits, window management, compositing, all at once—I love it! 😂
It's like half of @juni's "Shaker" (https://mew.tv/projects/shaker.html) without even needing to invent a new protocol for it!

So, there is a slight issue with the SuperStation One when compared to the Sega Saturn: the audio pinout on the DIN connector is reversed on the SuperStation One which means the audio is also reversed.
This is annoying, but at least I can fix it going through OBS. I've got the GStreamer OBS plugin installed, and I managed to get it swapped over with a GStreamer Audio Filter on the audio source:
```
audioconvert mix-matrix="<<(float)0, (float)1>, <(float)1, (float)0>>"
```
