Linux / Unix Command: gst-md5sum
Command Library

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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

In theory, running

        gst-md5sum filesrc location=music.mp3

should print out the same checksum as

        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.
