8 \fIgst\-xmllaunch\fP is a tool that is used to build and run a basic
9 \fIGStreamer\fP pipeline, loading it from an XML description. You can
10 produce the XML description using gst-launch(1) with the -o option or by
11 calling gst_xml_write_file() in your own app.
13 A simple commandline looks like:
15 gst\-xmllaunch my\-pipeline.xml filesrc0.location=music.mp3
17 This sets the location property of the element named filesrc0 to the value
18 "music.mp3". See gst\-launch(1) for syntax on setting element names, and
19 gst\-inspect to see what properties various elements have.
21 You can pass "-" as the XML\-FILE to read from stdin.
23 XML\-FILE can be a URI as well, thanks to the wizardry of libxml. I'm not really
24 sure what all is supported, it seems http works just fine though.
28 \fIgst\-xmllaunch\fP is deprecated and broken for all but the most simple
29 pipelines. It will most likely be removed in future. Don't use it.
33 \fIgst\-xmllaunch\fP accepts the following options:
36 Print help synopsis and available FLAGS
39 Do not output status information
41 .B \-\-exclude=TYPE, \-XTYPE
42 Do not output status information of TYPE
44 .B \-\-output=FILE, \-oFILE
45 Save XML representation of pipeline to FILE and exit
47 .B \-\-gst\-info\-mask=FLAGS
