gst-launch manpage needs updates
Last modified: 2005-12-17 14:21:15 UTC
This list is incomplete (I need to test all examples on "PIPELINE EXAMPLES"). Also the patch included don't fix the "PIPELINE EXAMPLES" errors noted there. 1- OPTIONS - "-m, --messages Output messages" is missing - "-t, --trace" => -t should be replaced with -T - -t, --tags Output tags (also known as metadata) is missing - "-i, --iterations=N" : this option isn't valid anymore 2- SEE ALSO this section refers to inexistant gst-register(1) and gst-complete(1). By the way, it could refers to but not gst-feedback(1) gst-md5sum(1), gst-typefind(1), gst-visualise(1), gst-xmllaunch(1) or gst-xmlinspect(1) (question: should it refers to gst-launch-ext(1), that is not in gstreamer module but gst-plugins-base ?) 3- GSTREAMER OPTIONS --gst-disable-cpu-opt : should be removed --gst-disable-debug (man) should be --gst-debug-disable --gst-registry : should be removed 4- PIPELINE EXAMPLES Attention ! those errors aren't adressed on the patch, since I've not enough time just now (and knowledge) to test/fix them all. A patch to come later. So this list of bad examples is incomplete: - gst-launch filesrc location=music.mp3 ! mad ! vorbisenc ! \ filesink location=music.ogg doesn't work. should be: gst-launch filesrc location=music.mp3 ! mad ! audioconvert ! \ vorbisenc ! oggmux ! filesink location=music.ogg - gst-launch filesrc location=music.wav ! wavparse ! \ vorbisenc ! filesink location=music.ogg idem gst-launch filesrc location=music.wav ! wavparse ! audioconvert ! \ vorbisenc ! oggmux ! filesink location=music.ogg - gst-launch osssrc ! vorbisenc ! filesink location=input.ogg idem gst-launch osssrc ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! filesink \ location=input.ogg - gst-launch videotestsrc ! xvideosink should be (I'm not shure about this one) gst-launch videotestsrc ! xvimagesink Then : Index: tools/gst-launch.1.in =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/gstreamer/gstreamer/tools/gst-launch.1.in,v retrieving revision 1.10 diff -u -r1.10 gst-launch.1.in --- tools/gst-launch.1.in 23 Nov 2005 15:49:06 -0000 1.10 +++ tools/gst-launch.1.in 12 Dec 2005 14:53:57 -0000 @@ -35,12 +35,15 @@ .B \-f, \-\-no_fault Do not install a fault handler .TP 8 -.B \-t, \-\-trace +.B \-T, \-\-trace Print memory allocation traces.

Aiee, there was a LOT that needed to be updated :) Thanks for your list. Should be fixed in CVS. 2005-12-17 Tim-Philipp Müller <tim at centricular dot net> * tools/gst-launch.1.in: Update gst-launch man page; add a section with useful environment variables. Fixes #323882.
