Writing gst-play for RPI DISPMANX

[munezbn.dev]

Hi All,

I am working on a sample player based on gstplayer "dispmanx-play"

It is pretty much same as gst-play with minor changes and additionally I have integrated with dispmanx for custom window.

For some reason I was not able to make use of set_renderer rectangle  because i was not able to resize window. Set renderer does work for playing it in full screen with force-aspect-ratio TRUE/FALSE . But I wanted to have control on video such that i can resize it to desired size at playtime and move it around using keys.

So  I have added code for

1] Create dispmanx window with screen resolution and use it as Gst Player Videorenderer

Added keyboard  mappings for,

2] Toggle Fullscreen with full stretched or default aspect ratio.
3] Toggle background ( show/hide a black background layer)
4] Move video window when it is not in full screen.

I will upload this on github soon and share the link here.  If it is OK then it can be part of gstPlayer

Thanks & Regards
Munez

Initial code available at,

https://github.com/munezbn/dispmanx-gst-play.git

Kindly note that this package is based on buildroot and it required some changes in buildroot files.
So I expect you to face some compilation issue which you should be able to fix it easily.

Thanks & Regards
