Gstreamer installation
**********************
To use the `Gstreamer <http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/>`_ backend, you first
need to install Gstreamer and its Python bindings.
Installing Gstreamer on Linux
=============================
Gstreamer is packaged for most popular Linux distributions. If you use
Debian/Ubuntu you can install Gstreamer with Aptitude::
sudo aptitude install python-gst0.10 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good \
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
Installing Gstreamer on OS X
============================
To install Gstreamer on OS X using Homebrew::
brew install gst-python gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-ugly
To install Gstreamer on OS X using MacPorts::
sudo port install py26-gst-python gstreamer-plugins-good \
gstreamer-plugins-ugly
Setting up Mopidy to use the Gstreamer backend
==============================================
Currently :mod:`mopidy.backends.despotify` is the default
backend. If you want to use :mod:`mopidy.backends.gstreamer`
instead, add the following to ``~/.mopidy/settings.py``::
BACKENDS = (u'mopidy.backends.gstreamer.GstreamerBackend',)
