Brave is a wrapper around parts of GStreamer that allows live audio and video streams to be handled via a RESTful API. Content can be received, mixed, monitored, and sent to other destinations. It allows multiple 'blocks' - inputs, outputs, mixers and overlays - to be created and connected. Brave is designed to work remotely, such as on the cloud.
Inputs, mixers and outputs are always in one of four states. These states are the same as GStreamer's states.
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
NULL |
Block is not initialised, or has had an error. |
READY |
Block it not currently playing. |
PAUSED |
Block has connected and the content is paused. |
PLAYING |
Block is successfully playing content. |
Because Brave is based on GStreamer, it can only support what GStreamer supports. It cannot act as an RTMP server, for example, because there is no GStreamer element that can do that.
Where GStreamer plugins do exist, adding them as a new form of input or output should be relatively easy. Start with an existing one (in the brave/inputs and brave/outputs directories) and clone it. Then please raise as a pull request. Or you could request it by raising an issue.

Yes, pull requests are welcome. Please ensure the tests are passing and the flake8 linting is returning success first. (Information on these can be found in the README).
