gstreamer-ximagesrc-window.md

Find out windows xid:

wmctrl -l

First column/hex value is the xid, last column is window name. Run gstreamer now:

gst-launch-1.0 ximagesrc use-damage=false xid=0x02e00001 ! videoconvert ! xvimagesink

0x02e00001 is the hex xid from the previous command. Without use-damage=false image stutters. Ximagesrc's xname option may be amiguous, it may contain only the executeable name of a multi process application. So I would prefer xid over xname.
