Collabora attendees worked on several projects: Nicolas focused on zero-copy decoding and display using kmssink and v4l2dec on an Exynos 4 board; Lubosz demonstrated VR work including a Kinect-based point cloud viewer and spherical video GStreamer plugins; Mathieu hacked on hotdoc, a documentation generation tool. The author fixed bugs in glvideomixer and compositor related to RTSP sources, explored adding a set_caps() virtual function to GstAggregator, and began porting docs.gstreamer.com content to Markdown updated for the GStreamer 1.0 API. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I get zero-copy video decoding and display on an Exynos 4 board with GStreamer without a compositor? Zero-copy decoding and display on an Exynos 4 board can be achieved by combining kmssink and v4l2dec in a GStreamer pipeline, bypassing the need for a compositor or display manager entirely. This approach was demonstrated at the GStreamer Spring Hackfest 2016 by Nicolas Dufresne of Collabora. _Developers working on embedded Linux video pipelines track GStreamer techniques like this on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#gstreamer](https://daily.dev/tags/gstreamer), [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/gstreamer-spring-hackfest-2016-6adtacpwl) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"GStreamer Spring Hackfest 2016","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/gstreamer-spring-hackfest-2016-6adtacpwl","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/gstreamer-spring-hackfest-2016-6adtacpwl"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T08:56:56.022Z","dateModified":"2026-10-14T02:30:32.989Z","description":"A recap of the GStreamer Spring Hackfest 2016 held in Thessaloniki, Greece.
