gst-validate-media-check: GstValidate Reference Manual

## gst-validate-media-check gst-validate-media-check — Tool to test GStreamer media types discovery |

## Synopsis

`gst-validate-media-check` [options...] [URI]

## Description

gst-validate-media-check is command line tool checking that media files discovering works properly with gst-discoverer over multiple runs. It needs a reference text file containing valid information about a media file (which can be generated with the same tool) and then it will be able to check that the reference matches what will be reported by gst-discoverer in the following runs.

For example, given that we have a valid `reference.media_info` file, we can run:

    1
    gst-validate-media-check-1.0 file:///./file.ogv --expected-results reference.media_info

It will then output any error encountered and return an exit code different from 0 if any error is found.

## Invocation

gst-validate-media-check takes an URI to analyze and some extra options to control the output.

### Options

`-o`, `--output-file` | The output file to store the results.
`-f`, `--full` | Fully analize the file frame by frame.
`-e`, `--expected-results` | Path to file containing the expected results (or the last results found) for comparison with new results.
