What is this ?

This is a modified and somewhat stripped-down version of gst-play-1.0 tool in GStreamer.

Added functionality:

• playback rate command-line option
• always opens in full-screen mode
• dbus interface for commands

Removed functionality:

• keyboard and mouse input
• option to use playbin3
• i18n

But why ?

We needed a simple player where we could adjust the playback rate from the command-line and that would always open in full-screen mode.

How do I compile it ?

Make sure you have GStreamer, xcb, dbus and gio installed. Then run this in your command-line:

gcc gst-play-mod.c -o gst-play-mod-1.0 `pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-1.0 gstreamer-audio-1.0 gstreamer-video-1.0 xcb dbus-1 dbus-glib-1 gio-2.0` -lm

or simply

make

What is the license ?

This is licensed under the same license as the GStreamer version it was based on - LGPLv2.
