gst-md5sum-0.8(1) - Linux man page

Name

gst-md5sum - get an md5sum of a GStreamer pipeline through md5sink

gst-md5sum [OPTION...] PARTIAL-PIPELINE-DESCRIPTION

gst-md5sum generates MD5 checksums of the data generated by a GStreamer pipeline.

In theory, running

gst-md5sum-0.8 filesrc location=music.mp3
should print out the same checksum as: md5sum music.mp3
If the pipeline contains an md5sink element, gst-md5sum-0.8 will query it for the md5sum at the end of pipeline iteration. If it doesn't contain an md5sink element, gst-md5sum-0.8 will automatically connect an md5sink to the right hand side of the given pipeline. See the man page for gst-launch or the GStreamer docuementation for more information on how to create a PARTIAL-PIPELINE-DESCRIPTION.

gst-md5sum accepts the following options:

--help
Print help synopsis and available FLAGS
-v
Output verbose information
--gst-info-mask=FLAGS: GStreamer info flags to set (list with --help)
--gst-debug-mask=FLAGS: GStreamer debugging flags to set (list with --help)
--gst-mask=FLAGS: GStreamer info and debugging flags to set (list with --help)
--gst-plugin-spew: GStreamer info flags to set Enable printout of errors while loading GStreamer plugins
--gst-plugin-path=PATH: Add directories separated with ':' to the plugin search path

md5sum music.mp3

The pipeline should be incomplete, that is, a final sink element - should be omitted, so that gst-md5sum can connect the pipeline to - an md5sink element. See the man page for gst-launch or the GStreamer docuementation for more information on how to create a PARTIAL-PIPELINE-DESCRIPTION. --- 16,27 ----
