The gst-plugins-rs package provides several Rust plugins for interacting with the gstreamer multimedia framework. This page has instructions for libgstdav1d and libgstgtk4.
The libgstdav1d plugin provides AV1 decoding via dav1d through gstreamer.
The libgstgtk4 plugin binds gstreamer to GTK-4.

Install libgstdav1d by running the following commands:
cd video/dav1d && cargo build --release
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
install -vm755 ../../target/release/libgstdav1d.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0
Install libgstgtk4 by running the following commands:
cd video/gtk4 && cargo build --release
This package does not come with a test suite, but its basic functionality can be tested after installation.
Now, as the root user:
install -vm755 ../../target/release/libgstgtk4.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0
To test the basic functionality of the package, issue: gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=60 ! gtk4paintablesink in a graphical terminal emulator. It should play a test video in a GTK-4 window for 2 seconds.
