node-gstreamer-tutorial

In this repo we try to provide a version of the "Basic tutorial" for GStreamer under NodeJS using the great GObject Introspection bindings provided by node-gtk. At the moment not all functionalities of the GStreamer library are working. So stay tuned for a fully working version.
