Hi Tim & Topi, Thanks, it worked. The only problem is the log is very big. How can I understand the flow of the data, events and things like that. what I want is essentially an overview of the way the data flows, the no of threads that get created, the allocation of buffers and buffer management etc. Regards -- Vinod James <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 6:29 PM, Tim-Philipp Müller <<a href="mailto:t.i.m@zen.co.uk">t.i.m@zen.co.uk</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im">On Wed, 2011-02-09 at 12:09 +0530, vinod james wrote: > I used gst-launch=0.10 and generated logs with GST_DEBUG set to 5. > I read that there is a playbin application which does auto type > finding and pipeline and graph building. > I want to generate a detailed log like gst-launch.

You can use it from gst-launch like this: $ GST_DEBUG=*:5 gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=file:///path/to/foo.avi 2>dbg.log Cheers -Tim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
