NAME
gst-std-options - standard options available for most GStreamer applications
DESCRIPTION
GStreamer standard options which are available for most GStreamer based applications.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--help-gst
Display GStreamer help options.
--gst-debug-disable
Disables debugging.
--gst-debug-help
Prints a list of available debug categories and their default debugging level.
--gst-debug-level=level
Sets the threshold for printing debugging messages. A higher level prints more messages. The useful range is 0-5, the default value is
0.
--gst-debug-no-color
GStreamer normally prints debugging messages so that the messages are color-coded when printed to a terminal that handles ANSI escape
sequences. This option causes GStreamer to print messages without color. Setting the GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR environment variable achieves
the same thing.
--gst-debug=string
Specifies debugging levels for each category, where string is a colon-separated list of category_name=level pairs. level is in the
range 0-5 where 0 shows no messages and 5 shows all messages. The wildcard * can be used to match category names. Use the --gst-debug-
help option to show category names.
Example: GST_CAT=5:GST_ELEMENT_*=3
--gst-disable-registry-fork
Disable the use of fork(2) when scanning the registry.
--gst-disable-segtrap
Disables trapping of segmentation faults during plugin loading.
--gst-fatal-warnings
Causes GStreamer to abort if a warning message occurs.
--gst-plugin-load=plugins
Preloads the plugins specified in a comma-separated list. Another way to specify plugins to preload is to use the environment variable
GST_PLUGIN_PATH.
--gst-plugin-path=path
Adds directories separated with ':' to the plugin search path.
--gst-plugin-spew
GStreamer info flags to set Enable printout of errors while loading GStreamer plugins.
--gst-version
Prints the version string of the GStreamer core library.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables:
GST_DEBUG Comma-separated list of debug categories and levels. Values are the same as used with the --gst-debug argument.
GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR When this environment variable is set, colored debug output is disabled.
GST_REGISTRY Path of the registry file. Default is ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry-*.xml.
GST_PLUGIN_PATH Specify a list of directories to scan for additional plugins. These take precedence over the system plugins.
GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH Specifies a list of plugins that are always loaded by default. If not set, this defaults to the system-installed
path, and the plugins installed in the user's home directory.
OIL_CPU_FLAGS Useful liboil environment variable. Set OIL_CPU_FLAGS=0 when debugging tools trip over liboil's CPU detection.
FILES
The following files are used by GStreamer based applications:
~/gstreamer-0.10/registry-*.xml
The XML plugin database. Can be deleted at any time, and it will be recreated automatically when it is needed or when the installed
plugins change.
