How can I see what GStreamer plugins I have on my system ?
Using GStreamerTo do this you use the gst-inspect command-line tool, which comes standard with GStreamer. Invoked without any arguments,
$ gst-inspect will print out a listing of installed plugins. To learn more about a particular plugin, pass its name on the command line. For example,
$ gst-inspect volume will give you information about the volume plugin. Also, if you install the gst-editor package, you will have a graphical plugin browser available, gst-inspect-gui.
Related QuestionsWhat are the exact licensing terms for GStreamer and its plugins ?
GeneralAll of GStreamer, including our own plugin code, is licensed under the GNU LGPL license. Some of the libraries we use for some of the plugins are however under the GPL, which means that those plugins can not be used by a non-GPL-compatible application. As part of the GStreamer source download you find a file called LICENSE_readme in gst-plugins package. That file contains information in the exact licensing terms of the libraries we use.

Related QuestionsHow can I find out what context plugins I have?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe best way is with the context:// filesystem. You can see some of them listed in the root:// filesystem too. Be aware that contexts that only support being mounted over other contexts will not appear in root://. For example, db4 and xml plugins are only listed in context:// because they both require the presence of another filesystem to work properly (ie. the read bytes from a file and turn that into a filesystem for you). $ ferrisls context://
Related QuestionsCan I put two plugins side by side on the home screen?
FAQ: Frequently Asked Question list ** - SBSH Mobile Softwar...Technically this is a question about the Smartphone OS, not Facade. Sorry, but plugins can only be stacked vertically, not side by side. There is an "Orange plugin" which some have used to gain this functionality, but unfortunately that plugin is only available on the Orange E200, C500, and C550 devices (and is not sold separately).
Related QuestionsHow do I compile programs that use GStreamer ?
Developing applications with GStreamerGStreamer uses pkg-config to assist applications with compilationa and linking flags. pkg-config is already used by GTK+, GNOME, SDL, and others; so if you are familiar with using it for any of those, you're set. If you're not familiar with pkg-config to compile and link a small one-file program, pass the --cflags and --libs arguments to pkg-config. For example:
$ libtool --mode=link gcc 'pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-0.10' -o myprog myprog.
Related QuestionsHow do I develop against an uninstalled GStreamer copy ?
Developing applications with GStreamerIt is possible to develop and compile against an uninstalled copy of gstreamer and gst-plugins (for example, against CVS copies).
Related QuestionsWhat is the coding style for GStreamer core ?
Developing applications with GStreamerThe core is basically coded in K&R with 2-space indenting. Just follow what's already there and you'll be fine. The core could use a code cleanup though at this point. Individual plugins in gst-plugins or plugins that you want considered for addition to the gst-plugins module should be coded in the same style. It's easier if everything is consistent. Consistency is, of course, the goal.
Related QuestionsOk, I've installed GStreamer. What can I do next ?
Using GStreamerFirst of all, verify that you have a working registry and that you can inspect them by typing
$ gst-inspect fakesrc This should print out a bunch of information about this particular element. If this tells you that there is "no such element or plugin", you haven't installed GStreamer correctly. Please check how to get GStreamer If this fails with any other message, we would appreciate a bug report. It's time to try out a few things.
Related QuestionsCan my system play sound through GStreamer ?
Using GStreamerYou can test this by trying to play a sine tone. For this, you need to link the audiotestsrc element to an output element that matches your hardware. A (non-complete) list of output plug-ins for audio is jacksink for JACK output (not available yet) First of all, run gst-inspect on the output plug-in you want to use to make sure you have it installed. For example, if you use OSS, run
$ gst-inspect osssink and see if that prints out a bunch of properties for the plug-in.
Related QuestionsIs GStreamer a media player ?
GeneralNo, GStreamer is a development framework for creating applications like media players, video editors, streaming media broadcasters and so on. That said, very good media players can easily be built on top of GStreamer and we even include a simple yet functional media player with GStreamer, called gst-player.
Related QuestionsWhat applications are available for GStreamer ?
GeneralMany media player applications have chosen GStreamer for their backend. Also a couple of media format conversion tools have been written using the powers of GStreamer. With the advent of GStreamer-0.10 several media editing applications have been started. GStreamer aims to support every format imaginable, but that doesn't mean the developers have managed to achieve that aim yet.
Related QuestionsIs GStreamer a sound server ?
GeneralNo, GStreamer is not a soundserver. GStreamer does however have plugins supporting most of the major soundservers available today, including ESD, aRTSd, and to some extent Jack. Support for MAS is also planned.
Related QuestionsWill GStreamer be available for platforms other than Unix ?
GeneralDepends. Our main target is the Unix platform. It also works on Win32 and Mac OS X, but it may still be a bit challenging to get everything up and running. That said, interest has been expressed in porting GStreamer to other platforms and the GStreamer core team will gladly accept patches to accomplish this.
Related QuestionsWhat is GStreamer's relationship with the GNOME community ?
GeneralWhile GStreamer is operated as an independent project, we do have a close relationship with the GNOME community. Many of our hackers consider themselves also to be members of the GNOME community. GStreamer is officialy bundled with the GNOME desktop, as lots of packages (like gnome-media, totem and rhythmbox) are using it. This does not exclude use of GStreamer by other communities at all, of course.
Related QuestionsWhat is GStreamer's relationship with the KDE community ?
GeneralThe GStreamer community wants to have as good a relationship as possible with KDE, and we hope that someday KDE decides to adopt GStreamer as their multimedia API (planned for KDE 4). There have been contacts from time to time between the GStreamer community and KDE and we do already have support for the aRTSd sound server used by KDE. Also, some of the KDE hackers have created Qt bindings of GStreamer, made a simple video player and using it in some audio players (JuK and AmaroK).

Related QuestionsWhy are the plugins not translated into my language?
Buddi - Frequently Asked QuestionsFirst, plugins do not necesarily follow the same translation standards as Buddi does. If the plugin developer decided to hard code all text to English, there is no way to translate this. However, if the developer used the translation framework in Buddi, you can translate a plugin in a similar way that you translate Buddi itself. Just add a file Language.lang (where Language is your desired language), with the correct translated strings, into the root of the .jar file.

Related QuestionsDestroy FX : FAQIf you want to make plugins, the first thing you want to do is learn how to program a little. You probably want to learn C and C++ since that's what the AU and VST SDKs are written in. Delphi is apparently also a possibility for VST Windows. For the most part, other languages unfortunately are not suitable for realtime audio applications. If you want to make Audio Unit plugins, first pick up the CoreAudio SDK from Apple Developer Connection. The Audio Unit SDK is a part of the CoreAudio SDK.Related Questions
How do I install your plugins?
Destroy FX : FAQTo use Audio Unit plugins, you will need software (which we call the "host application") that can load them. We try to maintain a list of host applications. The plugins are the things that look like folders (but aren't) and have ".component" file name extensions. If the plugins don't show up in your Audio Unit host, try logging out and then logging back in. If that doesn't help, then you might even need to reboot your computer (that is rare, though). Mac OS X version 10.
Related QuestionsYour plugins won't show up. What can I do?
Destroy FX : FAQFirst, make sure that you have installed them correctly. Please refer to our installation instructions. Also, make sure that the host application that you are using supports the particular plugin(s) that you are trying to use. You can find details about many host applications and the sorts of plugins that they support in our list of host applications. And also make sure that your system supports the plugin(s) by checking our system requirements.
