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).

Test streams
Basics
RTMP
Mixing video & audio
Images
Capturing images
Sending to multiple destinations (tee)
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

Good GStreamer Python resources include:

C++ with GStreamer
