           Summary: make "gst-launch -v" option more useful
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: piotr5 at users.sf.net

     GNOME version: ---


I would like to get some info on what commandline-parmeters are needed to build
a pipeline alike to the one currently playing. i.e. I'd start the playbin with
-v and get exactly the commands needed to avoid playbin. but not just playbin,
a lot plugins are silently inserting defaults. especially if some
hw-acceleration is used, -v should mention how they can be configured by
actually listing the plugin-name in such a commandline, preferably with the
default options if possible. when I use the -v option I expect to get informed
what exactly will be happening, and in case of error what fallback will be
used. as it is now, I'd need to enable debug-messages for that, and then I get
spammed down by a lot of less useful info. also, the man-page doesn't say much
about making use of debug options, especially no useful examples are given for
troubleshooting. but for this I'll make another bugreport.
