9.       Building Test Application

GST Internals: Making a GStreamer filter, pads, registering filter etc

Lab Practice: Create a GST Filter and test it against standard filters

1.       Theoretical study on internals of GStreamer plugin, pads, registering mechanism etc

2.       Building and deploying steps of a Gstreamer filter

3.       Demo using a dummy GST filter. Make code, build and install, then use this filter in a filter chain

4.       Students should be given an exercise to develop a filter from scratch, build, install, deploy and test the filter, and submit the source code of the same.
