CLI Submissions • GPAC (media streaming utility)

GPAC is a FLOSS multi-platform streaming and transcoding utility that has been mentioned a couple of times around TPFC -- mostly apropos MP4Box -- so I thought it was high time to givev it its own topic...

GPAC is the leader in video streaming and next-generation multimedia transcoding, packaging and delivery. By packaging we mean taking media (eg, audio, video, subtitles, images, metadata, etc) and putting them together for a purpose. This purpose can be local mezzanine storage (for later processing), playback (single file), streaming, encryption or archiving. Essentially, GPAC today is for packaging what FFmpeg is for encoding.

Currently, GPAC is at v2.4 released 2024-04-17 (downloads at https://gpac.io/downloads/gpac-nightly-builds/).

GPAC source (with summary changelog) repo is at https://github.com/gpac/gpac/releases.

Available Windows portability info can be found at https://wiki.gpac.io/Filters/core_config/ -- basically, extract from installer with 7zip and launch with "-p [relative_path_to_GPAC.cfg]" as explained by the wiki page.

Spoiler!   
Applications in GPAC can also specify a different configuration file through the -p profile option. Ex.:

> gpac -p=foo []

This will load configuration from '$HOME/.gpac/foo/GPAC.cfg', creating it if needed.
