Gstreamer-javafx examples: https://github.com/gstreamer-java/gst1-javafx-examples
I admire how javafx is wrapping gstreamer compared to the above example. I'd like to expand the support for more Media types and some method to access alternative stream data like closed captioning. I don't want to reinvent the wheel, I just prefer javafx as a modern, portable framework over alternatives. Java has always had poor compatibility with media frameworks in the past, I look at the ideal way for me to accomplish my goals above as easily as possible (if I we're King for a little bit) would be to create a bolt-on javafx-media-extras library that pulled in additional gstreamer plugins. I definitely don't want to break downstream interfaces or expose additional non-public APIs, I just want graceful API expansion that allows javafx to compete against just about every other UI toolkit.
