This works with video, audio, RTMP streams, and so much more.

The 'bin' in 'playbin' means that under-the-hood, it's a collection of elements. For example, we can achieve the same thing by going to the next level of elements, which separate the decoding part from the playing part:

# Capturing images (GStreamer command-line cheat sheet)
|
||||
|
||||
### Capture an image as PNG
|
||||
|
||||
The `pngenc` element can create a single PNG:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! pngenc ! filesink location=foo.png
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Capture an image as JPEG
|
||||
|
||||
The `jpegenc` element can create a single JPEG:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! jpegenc ! filesink location=foo.jpg
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Capturing images every X seconds
|
||||
|
||||
This example captures one frame every 3 seconds, and places it in files with the format `img00001.jpg`.
|
||||
It also displays the video (as the `tee` command sends the video to both `multifilesink` and `autovideosink`).
|
||||
To change the frequency, change the `framerate=1/3`.
|
||||
e.g. `framerate=2/1` would capture a frame twice a second.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! \
|
||||
videoscale ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! \

# Images (GStreamer command-line cheat sheet)

Images can be added to video.

In addition, video can be converted into images.

This page looks at both types.

Gstreamer can show images on video using the `imagefreeze` element.

## Fading
|
||||
It's often nicer to fade between sources than to abruptly cut betwen them. This can be done both with video (temporarily blending using alpha channel) or audio (lowering the volume of one whilst raising it on another).
|
||||
|
||||
It's not possible to do this on the command line... alhough `alpha` and `volume` can be set, they can only be set to discrete values.
|
||||
|
||||
Programatically, however, this is possible through [dynamically controlled parameters](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/application-development/advanced/dparams.html). With this, you tell GStreamer the 'from' and 'to' values (e.g. 0 and 1 to increase volume), and the time period to do it.
|
||||
|
||||
See [`mix with fade.py`](python_examples/mix_with_fade.py) for a simple Python example.
|
||||
|
||||
As a slightly richer example, [`mix_with_other_props.py`](python_examples/mix_with_other_props.py) shows how other properties, such as the image's position and size, can also be changed this way.

# SRT (GStreamer command-line cheat sheet)
|
||||
|
||||
SRT has a client-server relationship. One side must be the server, the other the client.
|
||||
The server can either be the side that is sending the audio/video (pushing) or the side that is
|
||||
receiving (pulling). The server must have started exist before the client.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: THIS IS FOR GSTREAMER 1.14; IT HAS CHANGED IN 1.16.
|
||||
|
||||
## Server sending the AV
|
||||
|
||||
Create a sender server like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw, height=360, width=640 ! videoconvert ! x264enc tune=zerolatency ! video/x-h264, profile=high ! mpegtsmux ! srtserversink uri=srt://127.0.0.1:8888/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And create a receiver client like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
gst-launch-1.0 -v srtclientsrc uri="srt://127.0.0.1:8888" ! decodebin ! autovideosink
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Server receiving the AV
|
||||
|
||||
To have the server receiving, rather than sending, swap 'srtclientsrc' for 'srcserversrc'.
|
||||
Likewise, to have the client sending rather than receiving, swap 'srtserversink' for 'srtclientsink'.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a receiver server like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
gst-launch-1.0 -v srtserversrc uri="srt://127.0.0.1:8888" ! decodebin ! autovideosink
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And a sender client like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
