Well, at least not back in 2016 up to my last activity here.

When I had joined the forum here, I didnt consider myself experienced, but I did feel welcomed.
All I can say is thank you (team & everyone here) and keep it up!
Good to know. Thanks for the feedback.

That has been one of my #1 objectives, since forming the site for users, decades ago.

gst-feedback-0.8(1)						   User Commands					       gst-feedback-0.8(1)

NAME
gst-feedback-0.8, gst-feedback - generate debug information for GStreamer bug reports SYNOPSIS
gst-feedback-0.8 gst-feedback [--gst-list-mm] [--gst-mm=string] [--print] DESCRIPTION
gst-feedback-0.8 scans the system for various types of information that is useful to GStreamer developers to help diagnose user problems. Depending on the type of bug report, it might be useful to attach gst-feedback output when you contact the developers. Note: The current version of this script scans many directories: /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, /home, /usr/include, /usr/local/include, and /home (again) for various GStreamer installations. Depending on your system, you might not want to do this. Note: gst-feedback-0.8 dumps a lot of information about a system. Some of this information might be considered sensitive. If this is a concern, review the information before posting to a public forum such as the GStreamer bug tracking system. gst-feedback is a wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-feedback-X.X. For example, if both gst-feedback-0.7 and gst- feedback-0.8 are installed on your system, gst-feedback runs gst-feedback-0.8. OPTIONS
The following options are supported by gst-feedback only: --gst-list-mm List found major/minor versions. This option displays the versions that are available. --gst-mm=string Force major/minor version. This option enables you to specify a specific version to run, if you do not want to run the default version. --print Print wrapped command line. This option displays the command that will be run, and then runs the command. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Generating Feedback Information example% gst-feedback-0.8 Example 2: Generating Feedback Information and Redirecting Output and Errors to a File example% gst-feedback-0.8 &> myfeedback Example 3: Running the Wrapper Script and Displaying the Command Name example% gst-feedback --print /usr/bin/gst-feedback-0.8 FILES
The following files are used by this application: /usr/bin/gst-feedback-0.Executable to generate debug info for GStreamer bug reports /usr/bin/gst-feedback Wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-feedback-X.X ATTRIBUTES
