NAME
gst-md5sum - get an md5sum of a GStreamer pipeline through md5sink

SYNOPSIS
gst-md5sum [OPTION...] PARTIAL-PIPELINE-DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

gst-md5sum generates MD5 checksums of the data generated by a GStreamer pipeline.

In theory, running

    gst-md5sum-0.8 filesrc location=music.mp3

should print out the same checksum as

    md5sum music.mp3

If the pipeline contains an md5sink element, gst-md5sum-0.8 will query it for the md5sum at the end of pipeline iteration.

If it doesn't contain an md5sink element, gst-md5sum-0.8 will automatically connect an md5sink to the right hand side of the given pipeline.

See the man page for gst-launch or the GStreamer docuementation for more information on how to create a PARTIAL-PIPELINE-DESCRIPTION.

  The pipeline should be incomplete, that is, a final sink element - should be omitted, so that gst-md5sum can connect the pipeline to - an md5sink element.
