Membrane - a new framework for multimedia processing

I am pleased to announce an initial release of the Membrane Framework - an Elixir-based framework with special focus on processing multimedia streams.

It is heavily inspired by architecture of GStreamer but aims at providing implementation of way higher reliability and scalability as well as to avoid many of its shortcomings.

We have just released v0.1 which contains just small set of elements that can be used to do simple audio processing, but a great effort was put into its core in order to lay down a good architecture for developing it further. v0.2 is planned to be available in 2-3 months and it should support video processing including patterns for easily implementing hardware acceleration and tons of other improvements.

I hope in the long run we’re going to provide a seamless experience for developers involved in multimedia processing and another boost for the quickly growing Elixir community.

It is already being used in production in broadcasting software that aims at 24/7 availability for a few months.

More information:

PS. Just a few words about credits: it is a spin-off from RadioKit and it is now developed and professionally backed up by the Software Mansion.

Looking forward for feedback,

Founder,

Marcin Lewandowski

The summary is correct.

We have run into some issues with DTLS in latest Erlang and we have to rely on some hacks and external C code to make it work. We will consider backporting the changes to the erlang core but we don’t want to wait for the release and force users to use the most recent Erlang version so for some time we will probably stay as it is.

We started a while ago and these 2-3 months are essentialy time to assemble all these parts together, not to build this from scratch. Keep fingers crossed
