NAME
gst-xmllaunch - build and run a GStreamer pipeline from an XML serialization
SYNOPSIS
gst-xmllaunch [--exclude=type1,type2,...] [--messages] [--no-fault] [--output-=file] [--tags] [--trace] [--verbose] [--version] [gst-std-
options] XML-file [element.property=value...]
DESCRIPTION
gst-xmllaunch builds and runs a basic GStreamer pipeline, loading it from an XML description. You can produce the XML description using
gst-inspect(1) with the -o option or by calling gst_xml_write_file() in your own application.
You can set XML-file to "-", to read from stdin.
XML-file can also be a URI, thanks to libxml.
See gst-launch(1) for the syntax to set element names, and run gst-inspect(1) to see what properties various elements have.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by gst-xmllaunch:
-X, --exclude=type1,type2,... Do not output status information of specified type.
-m, --messages Output messages.
-f, --no-fault Do not install a fault handler.
-o, -output-=file Save XML representation of pipeline to file, then exit.
-t, --tags Output tags, also known as metadata.
-T, --trace Print memory allocation trace, if enabled at compile time.
-v, --verbose Output status information and property notifications.
--version Print GStreamer version number.
gst-std-options Standard options available for use with most GStreamer applications. See gst-std-options(5) for more
information.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Setting the Location Property of the Element filesrc0 to "music.mp3". See for syntax on setting element names, and gst-
inspect(1) to see what properties various elements have.
example% gst-xmllaunch my-pipeline.xml filesrc0.location=music.mp3
