UI frameworks to consider for a gstreamer based player

[Brian Duffy]

either one could work. If you don't like to program in C or C++ then you
can investigate Clutter with Vala and Qt with Python maybe. Recent updates
to Gstreamer show promise for getting hardware acceleration working with
the respective toolkits.

Be careful with Clutter, it is moving towards a new major version so it is
a bit of a moving target right now.

Qt's QML might be your simplest solution for now if getting hardware
acceleration working is not important.

Personally, I'm anxious to see what becomes of Clutter inside GTK, so Im
focusing on other issues until that reveals itself. I would give the dev
environment and debugging advantage to Qt.

Its a loaded question that is for sure :-). Depends a lot on what you are
most comfortable with and what your goal is.
