I do not understand your question.
There are five steps at the moment:
1. Get Pi Image from Foundation
2. Get your TV adapter working
3. Install gstreamer with omx
4. Install tvheadend
5. Create Spawn stream-profile
Gstreamer is a pure external project and has nothing to do with tvheadend. Ffmpeg is also external, but was chosen to be included in tvheadend but does not offer transcoding at the moment.
Some other goals could be:
- tune gstreamer pipeline (for example bitrate or resolution)
- test gstreamer pipeline (should deliver smooth experience independent of source because there is mpeg2, h264 and last but not least h265)
- try to get gstreamer omx plugins from ugly/bad to base/good (could be difficult with codecs that require license)
- as ffmpeg is chosen to be included, support the mainline / upstream development in the omx area
I think the last point turns the answer to your question to: NO, too early.
Cheers
