NooB Q. - controlling a remote gstreamer app

[gstream at ccc2.com]

Hi All,

I am not a C. programmer at all. I have followed the tutorials and
examples and have a working videomixer2 application. Can you give advice
as to how I can interact with this app on a remote linux box. I assume it
is with sockets etc (telnet?). Any advice and some examples would be
great.

As an example I am using
 g_object_set (G_OBJECT (decoder2), "max-size-time", (guint64)300000000,
NULL);

and would like to update this function with a new time manually.

I have found some basic telnet socket examples but have no clue on how to
mix both applications together so I can control gst.

thx
Art.
