== Gst-Validate
|
|
|
|
The goal of GstValidate is to be able to detect when elements are not
|
|
behaving as expected and report it to the user so he knows how things
|
|
are supposed to work inside a GstPipeline. In the end, fixing issues
|
|
found by the tool will ensure that all elements behave all together in
|
|
the expected way.
|
|
|
|
The easiest way of using GstValidate is to use one of its command-line
|
|
tools, located at tools/ directory. It is also possible to monitor
|
|
GstPipelines from any application by using the LD_PRELOAD gstvalidate
|
|
lib. The third way of using it is to write your own application that
|
|
links and uses libgstvalidate.

|
== BUILDING
|
|
|
|
Getting the code:
|
|
|
|
Releases are available at <URL>, download and extract the tarball. If you
|
|
want to use latest git version, do:
|
|
|
|
git clone <URI>
|
|
|
|
After cloning or extracting from a tarball, enter the gst-validate directory:
|
|
|
|
cd gst-validate
|
|
|
|
The 'master' branch uses gstreamer 1.0, there is a '0.10' branch for
|
|
gstreamer 0.10. The default is the 'master' branch, if you want to use it
|
|
for 0.10, do:
|
|
|
|
git checkout --track origin/0.10
|
|
|
|
Build with:
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh --prefix=<installation-prefix>
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install (only if you want to install it)
|
|
|
|
Replace <installation-prefix> with your desired installation path, you can omit
|
|
the --prefix argument if you aren't going to install it or if you want the
|
|
default /usr/local. It is possible to use gst-validate CLI tools without
|
|
installation.
