Cross-platform C# application with Gstreamer

[Andoni Morales]

Hi doon,

LongoMatch [1] is a C# cross-platform (windows, linux, osx)
application using Mono, GStreamer and Gtk#. When I started it there
wasn't bidings for C# available, so the backend code is written in C
using GObject [2] and the C# bindings were automatically generated
with the gapi-tools [3].

If you have the choice I would go for the gstreamer-sharp option,
which probably fits most of the uses cases, but It's something you
will need to check yourself, specially in Android and iOS. The entry
level for developers is much lower and changes in the backend
implementation don't need to be compiled for a specific platform as it
would happend with a backend written in C. You keep all the logic in
C#, it's easier to package and you don't have to worry about things
like the IDE integration, For example, Xamarin Studio  doesn't support
C project files, so you need to add the monodevelop plugin yourself
and set the env to build using mingw, which is a big pain to be honest
:)
