With gstreamermm it is possible to develop applications that work with multimedia in C++. gstreamermm is developed over glibmm, libsigc++ and libxml++ and the functionalities they provide. This means that, among other things, referencing and unreferencing of GObjects is handled automatically via glibmm's automatic pointer class, Glib:RefPtr, and libsigc++'s slots are used for callbacks and signals. There are several examples, including a media player, in the examples/ directory, that demonstrate how to use the API and there are API docs in the docs/reference/html directory. The core plug-ins, such as Gst::Identity and Gst::FileSrc are als

What is it? ================ GottenGeography is a simple and streamlined application for recording geotags directly into photo EXIF data. It is capable of reading logfiles from various GPS devices to accomplish this in an automatic way, but it also allows manual tagging for those users who do not own GPS units. As a side effect it is also useful for visualizing previously-tagged photos on a map, and for viewing GPS tracks directly on a map even if you don't have any related photos. What exciting technologies set it apart from the many other, similar applications out there? ================ It's written in Python, and it uses all the sexy new gobject-introspection magic to make a great, native GNOME3 experience. It's also using ilbchamplain and OpenStreetMap to provide maps, which makes for a fun, immersive Clutter experience when navigating the map. What's new? ================ We've added KML support, and also drag&drop support for loading files. As well as a minor bugfix that makes the Adwaita them
