Introduction

GSTFS is a filesystem for on-demand transcoding of music files between different formats. It utilizes the gstreamer library for conversion so any formats supported by gstreamer should also be supported by gstfs. The filesystem's only requirement is that the gstreamer pipeline begin with a filesrc with the name "_source" and end with an fdsink with the name "_dest". The filesystem will automatically substitute the filename and fd number in these pipelines.

Synopsis

$ ./gstfs -osrc=/my/ogg_music,src_ext=ogg,dst_ext=mp3,pipeline="filesrc name=\"_source\" ! oggdemux ! vorbisdec ! audioconvert ! lame bitrate=160 ! fdsink name=\"_dest\" sync=false" /my/mp3_music
$ ls /my/ogg_music
foo.ogg
$ ls /my/mp3_music
foo.mp3
$ mpg123 /my/mp3_music/foo.mp3

Mount Options

GSTFS currently recognizes the following mount options:

src: The source directory of files you want to transcode
src_ext: Source format file extension
dst_ext: Target format file extension
pipeline: gstreamer conversion pipeline
ncache: number of files to cache in memory (default: 50)
