Post Mortem GStreamer Debugging with Gdb and Python.

There are a lot of tools available to simplify debugging GStreamer applications at runtime. Unfortunately, the situation is quite different, once an application crashes. While gdb can be used to access all the data structures, interpreting the data can be difficult and time consuming. This talk shows how the gdb Python API to simplify debugging GStreamer applications. It will show how Python can be used to determine the overall state of the pipeline and display the GStreamer object and related data structures in a more readable format.
