gst-std-options(5) User Commands gst-std-options(5)NAMEgst-std-options - standard options available for most GStreamer appli‐
cations
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 vari‐
able 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 addi‐
tional 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:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/
GStreamer system plugin directory.
~/gstreamer-0.10/plugins
GStreamer user-specific plugin directory.
~/gstreamer-0.10/registry-*.xml
GStreamer plugin registry for user.
