WCHROMAPRINT GSTREAMER PLUG-IN ------------------------------ gst-chromaprint is a GStreamer plug-in for generating audio fingerprints using the Chromaprint library [1]. The simplest way to use it is via the `gst-launch` application: $ gst-launch-0.10 -t filesrc location=/path/to/audio/file ! decodebin \ ! audioconvert ! chromaprint duration=60 ! fakesink sync=0 \ | grep 'chromaprint fingerprint' This command will decode an audio file and calculate its fingerprint. See the examples/ directory for a sample Python script that uses GStreamer to generate Chromaprint audio fingerprints and look them up in the Acoustid database [2].
