Documentation

TBD, I promisse. Until then, feel free to mail me with any question you have (you can find my e-mail in the commit log :) You can also find "Running the debugger" section useful.

Running the debugger

The toolset consists of the rich client, and debugserver. debugserver is implemented as a tracer plugin, and has to be loaded with your pipeline, e.g.:

$ GST_TRACERS="debugserver(port=8080)" gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! autovideosink

Now you can use a debugging client to connect to the debugger and inspect your pipeline:

$ gst-debugger-1.0

Happy debugging!
