Description

This plugin renders text received on the text sink pad to a video buffer (retaining the alpha channel), so it can later be overlayed on top of video streams using other elements.

The text can contain newline characters. (FIXME: What about text wrapping? It does not make sense in this context)

Example launch lines

1
gst-launch -v filesrc location=subtitles.srt ! subparse ! textrender ! xvimagesink
