Building A Virtual Machine inside #ChatGPT 🤯

“Did you know, that you can build a virtual machine inside ChatGPT? And that you can use this machine to create files, program and even browse the internet? And on that internet, you can browse to chat.openai.com/chat ? And that you will find a chatbot named Assistant there? And that you can ask Assistant questions? Like asking it to pretend to be a virtual machine?”

❄️ Feature freeze for GStreamer 1.22 coming up! ❄️

❄️ 18 November's the date, midnight's the time! ❄️

❄️ Get your patches into shape now! 🥁⏰⏰ ❄️

Over the last few days I wrote a new ✨​ #GStreamer MP4 muxer ✨ plugin in #Rust 🦀

It's merged now into gst-plugins-rs: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/merge_requests/969

The plugin is quite basic right now (only supports few codecs, no fast-start mode, no tag support, etc.) but should be easy to extend.

Compared to existing MP4/MOV/etc muxer this, by design, does not support fragmented MP4. Handling both cases in the old codebase together made the code quite confusing.

A newish fragmented MP4 muxer can be found here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/tree/main/mux/fmp4

Together these two new plugins will hopefully become a good base for the future.
