Description Michael Monreal 2016-01-20 21:22:30 UTC 
The gstreamer docs [1] describe how to quote special characters when using the taginject element. The given example works for gstreamer-0.10 (gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.31-15.fc23.x86_64) but fails with gstreamer-1 (gstreamer1-plugins-good-1.6.2-1.fc23.x86_64):

$ gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc num-buffers=100 ! taginject tags="keywords=\{\"testone\",\"audio\"\},title=\"audio testtone\"" ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! filesink location=test.ogg
WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "testtone"

I also tried simple quoting like tags="album-artist=foo bar" but that does not work ether. Please fix gstreamer and/or the docs.

Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-01-21 15:34:21 UTC 
Add a \ before the space in \"audio testtone\". This is not a problem in code, just with gst-launch-1.0 used from the shell.

This should fix it:
