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
- Capturing images
- 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)

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
- Nice example script
C/C++ with GStreamer
My favourite reference is Valadoc
