considering embarking on gstreamer1 upgrade (to 1.28.1)
Buildroot's set of gstreamer1 packages is getting rather long in the tooth, to wit, 1.24.13. Specifically I'm finding HEVC support is quite spotty in this release, in particular, some pixel formats are missing preventing, for instance, the Raspberry Pi 5 HEVC hardware decoder from working.
The latest stable is 1.28.1, released 26 February 2026, so that's what I'm targetting.
If someone else has already started this process or wishes to contribute, please let me know. I have a forked project in gitlab where I can push the work I have so far if anyone is interested.
Alternatively, if anyone thinks I'm wasting my time, please also let me know!
I'm pretty well setup to test Raspberry Pi 5 and AMD64 / VAAPI for hardware video support and possible regressions. I'm not sure if there are other gotchas I should be aware of....
Anyhow, this is just a heads-up, no action needed by anyone yet. If I'm successful I should have a patch series ready in a week or so.
