I started with porting the Overlay Convertor element which is used to add any text or logo over a video feed. This required a lot of work as I had to port Pango and PangoCairo to the new PyGI. I did the changes and tried to create a stream which resulted in these errors:

GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_segment_to_running_time: assertion `segment->format == format' failed

This error seems to be due to change in GstBuffer and Buffers not being pushed to Pads properly. Another reason might be due to a problem with GstBin. I’ll look further into this error tomorrow.
