3 gst\-launch\-ext \- Run a predefined GStreamer pipeline
5 \fBgst\-launch\-ext\fR \fIfilename [filename...]\fR
8 \fIgst\-launch\-ext\fP is a tool that is used to run a basic predefined
9 \fIGStreamer\fP pipeline. This application is only used as a quick test to
10 ensure proper working of codecs and GStreamer. It doesn't handle more advanced
11 features like synchronisation.
13 All supported formats in GStreamer should be playable by simply typing:
15 gst\-launch\-ext filename
17 It will also print out the pipeline it uses, so you can customize it using
22 \fIgst\-launch\-ext\fP can be configured by creating a .gst file in your
23 home directory. This is a perl-style configuration file and can override
24 the defaults for audio and video output sinks.
26 Here is an example .gst file that implements the same defaults as hard-coded
30 VIDEOSINK = ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink
32 You can change osssink to esdsink or alsasink (if you have
33 the plug-in), and you can change xvimagesink to ximagesink, aasink
36 Other plug-ins might be used as well if GStreamer has them.
