May 2026 monthly summary for rdkcentral/meta-rdk-oss-reference. Delivered a major upgrade and refactor of the Westeros library integration into RDKE builds. Upgraded Westeros to 2.0.0, refactored recipes, and updated dependencies/configs to ensure compatibility across RDKE, TV, and VL build pathways. Addressed build stability issues by implementing targeted fixes (including TV-specific updates to Westeros 1.01.63) to unblock CI and downstream consumers. The work consolidated an upgrade path for Westeros, enabling faster delivery of features and reducing long-term maintenance risk.

In July 2025, delivered an important security and memory-management improvement for protected video streams by integrating a new API from gst-svp-ext to pre-allocate secure memory. Implemented conditional pre-allocation in open_cdm_adapter.cpp and added a build patch to ensure the update is applied consistently in the recipe, enabling secure, predictable memory behavior for video pipelines.
