GStreamer Docs

Context: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

• Find an element / property / signal: -> Step 2 (search --query <term>)
• Read the full docs for one element: -> Step 3 (element --name <name>)
• Read one section by anchor: -> Step 4 (section --page <page> --id <anchor>)
• Grab a whole page: -> Step 5 (fetch --page <name>)
• Prime cache for offline use: -> Step 6 (index)

When to use

• User asks "what does element X do?" or "what properties does webrtcbin expose?"
• Need to verify an element name, property, pad, or signal exists before recommending it.
• Need the canonical gstreamer.freedesktop.org URL to cite in a response.
• Before writing any non-trivial gst-launch-1.0 pipeline, verify the element and its caps/properties.
• Need to know which plugin package an element ships in.
