.LP
\fIgst\-launch\fP is a tool that is used to build and run a basic \fIGStreamer\fP pipeline.
\fIgst\-launch\fP is a tool that builds and runs basic
\fIGStreamer\fP pipelines.
A simple commandline looks like:
In simple form, a PIPELINE\-DESCRIPTION is a list of
elements separated by exclamation marks (!). Options may be appended to
elements, in the form "option=value". A group of elements
surrounded by curly braces {, } will be executed in a separate thread.
gst\-launch filesrc location=music.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
Connections between non-consecutive elements are created by specifying
a element names and pad names immediately before and after the
exclamation mark, in the form "element0.sinkpad!element1.srcpad".
The default name given to an element is the name of its class followed by
an index. If the element names are omitted, the previous and next
elements in the PIPELINE-DESCRIPTION will be used. If the pad names
are omitted, a default pad of the correct type (source or sink) is
found on the given element, typically named "src" or "sink".
This plays an mp3 music file music.mp3 using libmad, and:
See the GStreamer documentation for a complete description of a
a PIPELINE\-DESCRIPTION.
gst\-launch filesrc location=music.mp3 ! mp3parse ! mpg123 ! osssink
.SH "EXAMPLES"
Plays and mp3 music file using mpg123
The examples below assume that you have the correct plug-ins available.
In general, "osssink" can be substituted with another audio output
plug-in such as "esdsink", "alsasink", or "artsdsink". Likewise,
"xvideosink" can be substituted with "sdlvideosink" or "aasink".
You can also stream files over http:
.B Audio playback
gst\-launch httpsrc location=http://domain.com/music.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
Play the mp3 music file "music.mp3" using a libmad-based plug-in and
output to an OSS device:
And using gnome\-vfs you can do the same with:
gst\-launch filesrc location=music.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
gst\-launch gnomevfssrc location=music.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
gst\-launch gnomevfssrc location=http://domain.com/music.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
Play an Ogg Vorbis format file:
And too play the same song with gnome\-vfs via smb:
gst\-launch filesrc location=music.ogg ! vorbisfile ! osssink
gst\-launch gnomevfssrc location=smb://computer/music.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
Play an mp3 file or stream retrieved via http:
You can also stream your mpeg 1 system streams from one machine to another using RTP by:
gst\-launch httpsrc location=http://domain.com/music.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
Play an mp3 file or stream using GNOME\-VFS:
gst\-launch gnomevfssrc location=music.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
gst\-launch gnomevfssrc location=http://domain.com/music.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
Use GNOME\-VFS to play an mp3 file located on an SMB server:
gst\-launch gnomevfssrc location=smb://computer/music.mp3 ! mad ! osssink
.B Format conversion
Convert an mp3 music file to an Ogg Vorbis file:
gst\-launch filesrc location=music.mp3 ! mad ! vorbisenc ! filesink location=music.ogg
Alternatively, to convert to the FLAC format, use the command line:
gst\-launch filesrc location=claptrap.mp3 ! mad ! flacenc ! filesink location=test.flac
.B Other
Plays a .WAV file:
gst\-launch filesrc location=music.wav ! wavparse ! osssink
Convert a .WAV file into Ogg Vorbis (or mp3) file:
gst\-launch filesrc location=music.wav ! wavparse ! vorbisenc ! filesink location=music.ogg
gst\-launch filesrc location=music.wav ! wavparse ! mpegaudio ! filesink location=music.mp3
Alternatively, if you have lame installed (and have the lame plug-in),
you can substitute lame for mpegaudio in the previous example. It gives
better results than mpegaudio.
Rip all tracks from compact disc and convert them into a single mp3 file:
gst\-launch cdparanoia ! mpegaudio ! filesink location=cd.mp3
Using gst\-inspect, it is possible to discover settings for cdparanoia
that will tell it to rip individual tracks.
Record sound from your audio input and encode it into an ogg file:
gst\-launch osssrc ! vorbisenc ! filesink location=input.ogg
.B Video
Display only the video portion of an MPEG-1 video file, outputting to
an X display window (The "queue" element is necessary to buffer data
between the threads):
gst\-launch filesrc location=JB_FF9_TheGravityOfLove.mpg ! mpegdemux video_%02d!src { queue ! mpeg2dec ! xvideosink }
Display the video portion of a .vob file (used on DVDs), outputting to
an SDL window:
gst\-launch filesrc location=/flflfj.vob ! mpegdemux video_%02d!src { queue ! mpeg2dec ! sdlvideosink }
Play both video and audio portions of an MPEG movie:
gst\-launch filesrc location=movie.mpg ! mpegdemux video_%02d!src { queue ! mpeg2dec ! sdlvideosink } mpegdemux0.audio_%02d!src { queue ! mad ! osssink }
Play an AVI movie:
gst\-launch filesrc location=movie.avi ! avidemux video_%02d!src { queue ! windec ! sdlvideosink }
.B Network streaming
An MPEG\-1 system stream can be streamed via RTP from one machine to
another. On the receiver, execute:
gst\-launch rtprecv media_type=mpeg1_sys ! mpegdemux video_%02d! { queue ! mpeg2dec ! xvideosink } mpegdemux0.audio_%02d! { queue ! mad ! osssink }
gst\-launch rtprecv media_type=mpeg1_sys ! mpegdemux video_%02d!src { queue ! mpeg2dec ! xvideosink } mpegdemux0.audio_%02d!src { queue ! mad ! osssink }
on the receiver end and:
On the transmitter, execute:
gst\-launch filesrc location=mpeg1system.mpeg ! mpegparse ! rtpsend ip=IPorHostname
gst\-launch filesrc location=mpeg1system.mpeg ! mpegparse ! rtpsend ip=IPorHostname
on the transmitter end.
.B Diagnostic
Here we convert a Mp3 file into an Ogg Vorbis file:
Generate a null stream and ignore it:
gst\-launch filesrc location=music.mp3 ! mad ! vorbisenc ! disksink location=music.ogg
gst\-launch fakesrc ! fakesink
Or converting from mp3 to Flac:
gst\-launch filesrc location=claptrap.mp3 ! mad ! flacenc ! disksink location=test.flac
Generate a pure tone to test the audio output:
And then we can play that file with:
gst\-launch sinesrc ! osssink
gst\-launch filesrc location=music.ogg ! vorbisdec ! osssink
Generate a familiar test pattern to test the video output:
Some other useful pipelines are..
Plays wav files (currently there are no wav encoders):
gst\-launch videotestsrc ! xvideosink
gst\-launch filesrc location=music.wav ! parsewav ! osssink
Converts wav files into mp3 and ogg files:
gst\-launch filesrc location=music.wav ! parsewav ! vorbisenc ! disksink location=music.ogg
gst\-launch filesrc location=music.wav ! parsewav ! mpegaudio ! disksink location=music.mp3
You can also use lame for mp3 encoding if you have it installed, it does a
much better job than mpegaudio.
Rips all songs from cd and saves them into a mp3 file:
gst\-launch cdparanoia ! mpegaudio ! disksink location=cd.mp3
You can toy around with gst\-inspect to discover the settings for
cdparanoia to rip individual tracks
Record sound from your sound input and encode it into an ogg file:
gst\-launch osssrc ! vorbisenc ! disksink location=input.ogg
gst\-launch not only handles audio but video as well:
For mpeg video files (here outputing to aasink) :
gst\-launch filesrc location=JB_FF9_TheGravityOfLove.mpg ! mpegdemux video_%02d! { queue ! mpeg2dec ! aasink }
For vob files (here outputting image to sdlvideosink):
gst\-launch filesrc location=/flflfj.vob ! mpegdemux video_%02d! { queue ! mpeg2dec ! sdlvideosink }
Play a mpeg movie with sound using the sdlvideosink:
gst\-launch filesrc location=movie.mpg ! mpegdemux video_%02d! { queue ! mpeg2dec ! sdlvideosink } mpegdemux0.audio_%02d! { queue ! mad ! osssink }
Playing a avi movie would be done with something like this:
gst\-launch filesrc location=movie.avi ! avidemux video_%02d! { queue ! windec ! sdlvideosink }

\fBgst\-md5sum\fR \fI[OPTION...]\fR PARTIAL\-PIPELINE\-DESCRIPTION
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP
\fIgst\-md5sum\fP is a tool that is used to get an md5 sum of
a basic \fIGStreamer\fP pipeline.
\fIgst\-md5sum\fP generates MD5 checksums of the data generated by
a GStreamer pipeline.
In theory, running
gst-md5sum filesrc location=music.mp3
gst-md5sum filesrc location=music.mp3
should print out the same md5sum as
should print out the same checksum as
md5sum music.mp3
md5sum music.mp3
Make sure the pipeline given is a partial one, to which a sink still
needs to be connected.
The pipeline should be incomplete, that is, a final sink element
should be omitted, so that gst\-md5sum can connect the pipeline to
an md5sink element.

create a PARTIAL\-PIPELINE\-DESCRIPTION.

more information on how to create a PARTIAL\-PIPELINE\-DESCRIPTION.
