gst-debugger toolset allows to introspect gst-pipeline remotely. It provides graphical client, and GStreamer's plugin.

1. Download the sources:

a) latest git-master version:

$ git clone git@ssh.gitlab.gnome.org:GNOME/gst-debugger.git
$ cd gst-debugger

b) latest release: sources

2. Compile the project

$ meson build
$ cd build
$ ninja
$ ninja install

TBD, I promisse. Until then, feel free to mail me with any question you have (you can find my e-mail in the commit log :) You can also find "Running the debugger" section useful.

The toolset consists of the rich client, and debugserver. debugserver is implemented as a tracer plugin, and has to be loaded with your pipeline, e.g.:

$ GST_TRACERS="debugserver(port=8080)" gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! autovideosink

Now you can use a debugging client to connect to the debugger and inspect your pipeline:

$ gst-debugger-1.0

Happy debugging!
