Thibault, from @igalia, just published a blog post about how to use `gst-dots-viewer`, a tool to visualize @gstreamer pipelines in run-time, merged in release 1.26.

Don't forget to watch the video at the end of the post.

The move to gstreamer as the backend for Jams is finally done! It's gone from being able to play 70% percent of my local music library to 100%.

Now I can get back into developing cool features and building out the GUI. I'm doing this for fun, so progress is very much dictated by how much fun I'm having and how many real life obligations are happening at a given time.

To my new followers: I've been working on a bespoke local music player/organizer written with #rust and #libcosmic. There are lots of great Linux players already, but I'm making this one because:

- I wanted an excuse to get better with rust.
- I'm really looking forward to COSMIC DE and wanted something that fit it visually.
- I'm very opinionated about how music players should work, so what better way to get something that matches my taste than to roll my own.
- It's Linux! You can never have too many choices.

In our journey to improve the adoption of Vulkan Video at @igalia we have been
pleased to play with the new NVK/Mesa driver for Nvidia hardware.

Here is a blog post on how to build
this new driver and render an H264 content with @gstreamer

I worked on adding support for VVC/H.266 in GStreamer 1.26 and blogged about it!

Hopefully that is useful as a guideline to adding new codecs in GStreamer :)
