Interaction

If you want to interact with GStreamer after it's started (e.g. respond to an event, or dynamically change a pipeline), the command-line GStreamer doesn't really cut it. Instead you have two options:

• GStreamer Daemon (gstd) - allows setting and updating via a TCP connection
• Develop using the GStreamer library, in either C, Python, or C#/.NET

Python with GStreamer

Good GStreamer Python resources include:

• Python GStreamer Tutorial
• Function reference
