NAME
gst-register-0.8, gst-register - register GStreamer plugins
SYNOPSIS
gst-register-0.8 [gst-std-options]
gst-register [gst-std-options] [--gst-list-mm] [--gst-mm=string] [--print]
DESCRIPTION
gst-register-0.8 registers all of the GStreamer plugins on your system. gst-register-0.8 creates a listing of their properties so that on
startup of GStreamer-based applications, you do not need to load plugins until you need them.
When run as the root user, gst-register-0.8 creates the Global GStreamer plugin registry which is stored in /var/cache/gstreamer-X.X/reg-
istry.xml, where X.X is the GStreamer major and minor version number.
When run as a user other than the root user, gst-register-0.8 creates a user registry ~/.gstreamer-X.X/registry.xml, where X.X is the
GStreamer major and minor version number.
Programs that uses GStreamer use the user plugin registry if it exists, and use the Global plugin registry if not.
gst-register is a wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-register-X.X. For example, if both gst-register-0.7 and gst-
register-0.8 are installed on your system, gst-register runs gst-register-0.8.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by gst-register-0.8 and gst-register:
gst-std-options Standard options available for use with most GStreamer applications. See gst-std-options(5) for more information.
