GStreamer 1.24.9 multimedia framework is a bug-fix release delivering critical fixes for RTSP, latency, stream handling, and DRM.

The GStreamer team announced the release of GStreamer 1.24.9, a new bug fix update in the stable 1.24 series of the popular cross-platform multimedia framework, focusing exclusively on stability, security, and bug fixes.

This release addresses several key issues, including a crucial security fix for the gst-rtsp-server and improvements to handling latency and start times in GstAggregator for force-live mode.

On the RTP and streaming field, new properties have been added to rtpav1depay, including wait-for-keyframe and request-keyframe, while rtpmanager sees improved handling for sparse streams.

Lastly, GStreamer 1.24.9 includes various bug fixes for stability and reliability, ensuring a more seamless experience across platforms. For instance, cerbero sees compatibility improvements for Python 3.13 and better build stability for Arch Linux and iOS.
