DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dominique Leroux ()\nGame engines serve a broad comm
 unity of creators\, but multimedia needs can outgrow the capabilities and 
 extensibility of their built-in players. As part of an independent explora
 tion of how GStreamer could help\, and following earlier community efforts
  in this area\, I have been developing experimental plugins for Unity\, Go
 dot\, and Unreal Engine to explore both the opportunities and the practica
 l barriers.\n\nAfter a brief overview of how game engines prepare and deli
 ver media across target platforms\, this talk shares progress from that in
 vestigation\, using cross-platform hardware-accelerated VP9 playback and v
 ideo with transparency as concrete targets. Selected examples from Android
  and Apple platforms will illustrate graphics interoperability challenges 
 and the improvements they motivated in GStreamer. I will also share lesson
 s about runtime integration and authoring workflows\, with brief examples 
 of audio integration and timed text in Unreal as a step toward accessibili
 ty.\n\nThe talk will close with the work needed for dependable adoption: e
 xtending automated testing to mobile platforms with Remote Check\, and rem
 aining questions about runtime overhead and compact builds tailored to a g
 ame’s needs. The aim is to share findings and invite collaboration towar
 d media support that game creators can extend and depend on.\n\nhttps://in
