Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install gstreamer1.0-opencv on Kali Linux.
What is gstreamer1.0-opencv

GStreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. Applications using this library can do anything from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just about anything else media-related. Its plugin-based architecture means that new data types or processing capabilities can be added simply by installing new plug-ins.
GStreamer Bad Plug-ins is a set of plug-ins that aren’t up to par compared to the rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they’re missing something - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live maintainer, or some actual wide use.
