The GStreamer team has rolled out a new bug-fix release, 1.24.11, for the stable 1.24 series. While this latest update remains fully compatible with earlier 1.24.x versions, it delivers several crucial enhancements designed to improve both performance and reliability.
Notably, the GStreamer 1.24.11 release addresses a variety of technical issues that had been impacting different components of the framework. For instance, it corrects SSA/ASS subtitle playback that was previously hindered by embedded font troubles.
It also resolves several decklink challenges by adding missing video modes and fixing 8K video modes to ensure smoother high-resolution video output. Additionally, matroskamux sees improved specification compliance for audio-only files, while onnx no longer activates telemetry from the onnxruntime.
Meanwhile, the qtdemux module now properly handles base offset updates during segment seeks, and srtpdec users will appreciate the fix for a use-after-free issue.
Furthermore, decodebin3 and uridecodebin3 benefit from improvements that mitigate potential deadlocks during shutdown procedures, which should significantly enhance overall stability.
There is also better channel position mapping, courtesy of new additions to avcodecmap, plus a bug fix that resolves the missing alpha flag in the AV12 video format. On top of all this, Windows 11 users will be pleased to learn that the Cerbero bootstrap process has been tweaked to deliver a more seamless setup experience.
Finally, the GStreamer team has packed in various other bug fixes, memory leak repairs, and reliability improvements that guarantee a more robust multimedia pipeline.
For additional technical details and a full breakdown of the changes, see the GStreamer 1.24.11’s release notes. As always, precompiled binaries for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows will be made available soon.
