[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice-gtk 2/2] display-gst: Debug video pipeline on stream-start message

[Victor Toso]

From: Victor Toso <me at victortoso.com>

On GST_MESSAGE_STREAM_START our stream is about to start and it seems
a good moment to debug GStreamer pipeline if requested.

That we can do with GST_DEBUG_BIN_TO_DOT_FILE() which iterates
recursively in the whole pipeline and generates a dot file with all
the information, the filename is 'spice-gtk-gst-pipeline-debug.dot'.

One can generate png image out of this dot file with the command:
  dot -Tpng -oimage.png spice-gtk-gst-pipeline-debug.dot

Not that GST_DEBUG_BIN_TO_DOT_FILE() will only work if Gstreamer was
configured with --gst-enable-gst-debug and the environment variable
GST_DEBUG_DUMP_DOT_DIR was properly set.

Full example:

1) GST_DEBUG_DUMP_DOT_DIR=/tmp remote-viewer ...
2) dot -Tpng -oimage.png spice-gtk-gst-pipeline-debug.dot
