GStreamer source plugin for streaming from Amazon S3

Deprecation notice

The GStreamer S3 plugin has been merged into the upstream GStreamer Rust Plugins repository.

gst-plugin-s3

This is a GStreamer plugin to interact with the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3).

Currently, a simple source element exists. The eventual plan is to also add a sink, to allow writing out objects directly to S3.

AWS Credentials

AWS credentials are picked up using the mechanism that rusoto's ChainProvider uses. At the moment, that is:

1. Environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
2. AWS credentials file. Usually located at ~/.aws/credentials.
3. IAM instance profile. Will only work if running on an EC2 instance with an instance profile/role.

An example credentials file might look like:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = ...
aws_secret_access_key = ...

s3src

Reads from a given S3 (region, bucket, object, version?) tuple. The version may be omitted, in which case the default behaviour of fetching the latest version applies.

$ gst-launch-1.0 \
    s3src uri=s3://ap-south-1/my-bucket/my-object-key/which-can-have-slashes?version=my-optional-version !
    filesink name=my-object.out
