NDI metadata support #68

Open darksidds opened 2 years ago

darksidds commented 2 years ago

I read the source code and found out that no metadata is being processed by the plugin. I wonder if there are any restrictions or it's just due to lack of need in there features? How difficult is it to implement this function? изображение

Metadata is now captured and printed to the logs but not made use of. There are no restrictions here, just that nobody implemented support for handling metadata yet.

Thanks for your answer! Actually, as it turned out later on I needed per_buffer metadata but there were no such facilities, so I created my own implementation of transfering metadata as VideoCaptionMeta. Please, take a look at my pull-request https://github.com/teltek/gst-plugin-ndi/pull/80
