Decode H.264 Stream?

[Stephen Merrony]

I am the author of a Go package which, amongst things, can emit a live H.264 video stream.

I am looking for a way to display (modified/overlaid) images from the stream for use in a desktop application which in turn will use my package.

My requirements for a H.264 decoder are:

• reliably installable on both Windows and Linux
• does not bring in a whole framework of stuff I don't need
• capable of decoding frames at 30fps on commonplace hardware
• the final app must be easily deployable on both Windows and Linux
  

Is anyone aware of such a beast?

Sounds like a job for ffmpeg, there are even Go bindings https://godoc.org/github.com/giorgisio/goav/avcodec

I have never used it, so no idea if it really fits your bill.

Deployment: It links to a C library, so you may have to deploy those as well.
