Description Uri David Akavia 2003-05-30 20:51:49 UTC 
gst-launch-ext does not parse the config file correctly.

I believe the error is with this line
  my $config_file = `echo -n ~`."/.gst";
which is parsed by the shell as /home/uridavid./.gst
the first period is unnecessary and causes the parsing to fail.

BTW, why not have a configuration file in ~/.gstreamer/.gst to keep
everything tidy?
Comment 1 Uri David Akavia 2003-05-30 20:58:33 UTC 
The directory is defined okay - however the man page is misleading -
the file shouldn't be of the format $cfg{VARNAME} = VALUE,
but simply VANAME = VALUE.
