%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ The GStreamer package contains a streaming media framework that enables applications to share a common set of plugins for things like video decoding and encoding, audio encoding and decoding, audio and video filters, audio visualisation, Web streaming and anything else that streams in real-time or otherwise. It is modelled after research software worked on at the Oregon Graduate Institute.

This command changes the ownerships of the installed documentation files to root:root. The GStreamer package contains gst-complete, gst-compprep, gst-feedback, gst-inspect, gst-launch, gst-md5sum, gst-register, gst-typefind, gst-xmlinspect, gst-xmllaunch, the libgstreamer, libgstcontrol and libgst libraries. gst-complete is a utility enabling bash to provide context sensitive tab completion for gst-launch command lines. gst-compprep builds a registry of GStreamer elements and their features that is used by gst-complete. gst-feedback generates debug info for GStreamer bug reports. gst-inspect prints information about a GStreamer plugin or element. gst-launch is a tool that builds and runs basic GStreamer pipelines. gst-md5sum generates MD5 checksums of the data generated by a GStreamer pipeline. gst-register is used to register all the GStreamer plugins on the system. It creates a listing of their properties so that when a GStreamer based application is started, it does not need to load plugins until it needs them. gst-typefind uses the GStreamer type finding system to determine the relevant GStreamer plugin to parse or decode a file, and determine the corresponding MIME type. gst-xmlinspect prints information about a GStreamer plugin or element in XML document format. gst-xmllaunch is used to build and run a basic GStreamer pipeline, loading it from an XML description.
