Hi, Try using -m command line option. This prints the message passing on the bus. <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 29, 2009 at 3:11 PM, Alex Bennee <<a href="mailto:kernel-hacker@bennee.com">kernel-hacker@bennee.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi, My Banshee setup is crashing on certain files and I think it may be tag related. To rule out GStreamer itself I was wondering if it's possible to dump the tags gstreamer sees from the command line. I've got the hang of playing a tune: gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri="file:///home/alex/music/Artists/James/Hey Ma (Deluxe Edition)/03 - Waterfall.m4a" But I'm not sure how to construct a tag reading pipeline. Having read the manual I can see there are a bunch of tag sources: 10:36 alex@danny/x86_64 [gst-editor.git] >gst-inspect-0.10 | grep "tag" typefindfunctions: application/x-apetag: ape, mpc, wv vorbis: vorbistag: VorbisTag flac: flactag: FLAC tagger mad: id3mux: id3 tag muxer taglib: apev2mux: TagLib-based APEv2 Muxer taglib: id3v2mux: TagLib-based ID3v2 Muxer debug: taginject: TagInject apetag: apedemux: APE tag demuxer icydemux: icydemux: ICY tag demuxer id3demux: id3demux: ID3 tag demuxer But how do I actually use these in a pipeline? -- Alex, homepage: <a href="http://www.bennee.com/%7Ealex/" target="_blank">http://www.bennee.com/~alex/</a> CV: <a href="http://www.bennee.com/%7Ealex/cv.php" target="_blank">http://www.bennee.com/~alex/cv.php</a> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
