Is anyone actually using gstreamermm?

[Marcin Kolny]

Hi Sarah,
ex-gstreamermm maintainer here. The project is not being maintained for a
while (as you can see from the commit list), but you can still use it even
with the latest version of gstreamer (however, some of the APIs might not
have all the methods wrapped so you'll still need to use C API and .gobj()
method).
In terms of plugins; it's actually possible to write them fully in C++.
Unfortunately I never managed to write any example, but there's a few tests
which you can treat as examples [1]. Also, a few years ago I gave a talk
about gstreamermm [2] and briefly talked about all the features of that
project (including writing plugins) so you might find it useful.
