NAME

gst-launch-ext - Run a predefined GStreamer pipeline

SYNOPSIS

gst-launch-ext filename [filename...]

DESCRIPTION

gst-launch-ext is a tool that is used to run a basic pre defined GStreamer pipeline. This application is only used as a quick test to ensure proper working of codecs and
GStreamer. It doesn't handle more advanced features like
synchronisation.

All supported formats in GStreamer should be playable by
simply typing:
gst-launch-ext filename
It will also print out the pipeline it uses, so you can
customize it using cut and paste.

CONFIGURATION

gst-launch-ext can be configured by creating a .gst file in your home directory. This is a perl-style configura
tion file and can override the defaults for audio and
video output sinks.

Here is an example .gst file that implements the same
defaults as hard-coded in the script :

AUDIOSINK = "esdsink"; VIDEOSINK = "colorspace !
xvideosink";

You can change esdsink to any of alsasink, jacksink,
osssink (if you have the plug-in), and you can change
xvideosink to aasink or sdlvideosink.

Other plug-ins might be used as well if GStreamer has
them.
