GStreamer command-line cheat sheet
This series of docs provides a cheat sheet for GStreamer on the command-line.
A few Python examples are also included for when you need GStreamer to be dynamic (i.e. react to user or some other action).
Contents
- Basics
- Test streams
- RTMP
- Mixing video & audio
- Images
- Queues
- Writing to files
- Sending to multiple destinations (tee)
- Sharing and receiving pipelines (including sending/receiving video from shared memory)
- Network transfer (including how to send so that VLC can preview)
- RTP
- SRT

Interacting with the GStreamer pipeline
If you want to interact with GStreamer after it's started (e.g. respond to an event, or dynamically change a pipeline), the command-line GStreamer doesn't really cut it. Instead, here are some options:
- GStreamer Daemon (gstd) - allows setting and updating via a TCP connection
- Snowmix - an open-source live video mixer
- Develop using the GStreamer library, in either C, Python, or C#/.NET
Python with GStreamer
Python is an easy language, so it's no surprise that it's good way to develop using GStreamer.
Some example scripts can be found in the python_examples/ directory.
Other good GStreamer Python resources that I've found:
- Getting started with GStreamer with Python
- Python GStreamer Tutorial
- Function reference
- Including a useful mapping from C
- Nice example script
C/C++ with GStreamer
My favourite reference is Valadoc

My GStreamer project
Creating this guide gave me enough GStreamer understanding to make Brave, a live video editor for the cloud.
