GstPerf

A GStreamer element to measure framerate, bitrate and CPU usage

Build Instructions

On Debian-based systems:

./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix /usr/ --libdir /usr/lib/$(uname -m)-linux-gnu/
make
sudo make install

Configure options may vary according to your specific system.

Usage

Just link in the perf element wherever you want to take the measurements from. For example, record an MP4 file and print framerate, bitrate and CPU usage measurements at the output of the encoder:

gst-launch-1.0 -e videotestsrc ! x264enc ! perf ! qtmux print-arm-load=true ! filesink location=test.mp4

Building a Debian package

1. Install build dependencies (one-time step): sudo apt install -y debhelper devscripts
2. After cloning, run dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc in the source directory. The package will be left in the parent directory.
