gstcefsrc

Build

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make

Run

Because of this issue, the main executable must be located in the same directory as the resources in the build folder. This makes things pretty awkward with gst-launch, but can be worked around as follows:

cp `which gst-launch-1.0` Release/

The element can then be tested with:

GST_PLUGIN_PATH=$PWD/Release:$GST_PLUGIN_PATH Release/gst-launch-1.0 -v cefsrc url="https://webglsamples.org/aquarium/aquarium.html" ! queue ! videoconvert ! xvimagesink
