[maemo-developers] Streaming video through Gstreamer

[From: Darius Jack]

Thanks.
I tested webcam video streaming from MS Windows XP to OS2007HE, using Media Streamer as a viewer in non-command-line-mode (so as GUI app)
Today I need something already described below.
Command line mode in Media Streamer (meant stream reader)

http://www.linuxrising.org/gstreamer-maemo-howto.html

Could you tell if your are using Media Streamer as a video stream from webcam player or some other application ?
Ort how to run Media Streamer in command-line -mode with few examples ?
