Installing Third-party GStreamer Plugins (MI-X)
MI-X plugins provided by Intel along with the Intel® EMGD package consist of a GStreamer decoder element and GStreamer sink element, which is responsible for communicating with Intel® EMGD via the industry standard VAAPI specification. The MixVideoDecoder element parses the compressed elementary video bit-stream and sends decode-specific data to Intel® EMGD for handling.
Note: MI-X is provided by Intel as a proprietary solution for evaluation purposes. If a customer wants to use it in a production solution, they should consult with their lawyers on the requirement for a codec license for permissible use.
The GStreamer package contains a streaming media framework that enables applications to share a common set of plug-ins for things like video decoding and encoding, audio encoding and decoding, audio and video filters, audio visualization, Web streaming, subtitle functionality, and anything else that streams in real-time or otherwise.
Getting the audio working requires various libraries and plug-ins. Due to various software dependency conflicts, the installation process requires following the instructions precisely. The procedure may also change over time as the software packages are updated.
