Application has been originally designed to view camera stream from hardware Raspberry Pi cameras. To build the stream, gstreamer has been chosen as the best open source multimedia framework. During the time number of desired features and configuration options grow, so application is morphing into gstreamer viewer. In current version you are able to build any pipeline (in gstreamer format) and view it on any Android device
