1.26.6

The sixth 1.26 bug-fix release (1.26.6) was released on 14 September 2025.

This release only contains bugfixes including some important playback fixes, and it should be safe to update from 1.26.x.

Highlighted bugfixes in 1.26.6

• analytics GstTensorMeta handling changes (see note below)
• closed caption combiner and transcriberbin stability fixes
• decklinkvideosrc: fix unrecoverable state after failing to start streaming because device is busy
• decodebin3 tag handling improvements
• fallbacksrc: Fix sources only being restarted once, as well as some deadlocks and race conditions on shutdown
• gtk4paintablesink: Try importing dmabufs withouth DMA_DRM caps
• hlsdemux2: Fix parsing of byterange and init map directives
• rtpmp4gdepay2: allow only constantduration with neither constantsize nor sizelength set
• spotifysrc: update to librespot 0.7 to make work after recent Spotify changes
• threadshare: new blocking adapter element for use in front of block elements such as sinks that sync to the clock
• threadshare: various other threadshare element fixes and improvements
• v4l2: Add support for WVC1 and WMV3
• videorate: possible performance improvements when operating in drop-only mode
• GstBaseParse fixes
• Vulkan video decoder fixes
• Fix gst-device-monitor-1.0 tool device-path regression on Windows
• Monorepo development environment builds fewer plugins using subprojects by default, those require explicit enablement now
• Python bindings: Handle buffer PTS, DTS, duration, offset, and offset-end as unsigned long long (regression fix)
• Cerbero: Reduce recipe parallelism in various cases and dump cerbero and recipe versions into datadir during packaging
• Various bug fixes, build fixes, memory leak fixes, and other stability and reliability improvements

Possibly breaking behavioural changes

• Previously it was guaranteed that there is only ever up to one GstTensorMeta per buffer. This is no longer true and code working with GstTensorMeta must be able to handle multiple GstTensorMeta now (after this Merge Request).
