<hr class="divider">
<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">gstreamer</code> platform allows you to play audio via a <a href="https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/">gstreamer</a> pipeline. Practically, this means you can play audio directly on the computer running Home Assistant. It is particularly suited for playing TTS. Advanced users can specify a pipeline to transform the audio stream and/or redirect it elsewhere.</p>
<p>To add a <code class="highlighter-rouge">gstreamer</code> media player to your installation, add the following to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">media_player</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">gstreamer</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>name</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Name the player.</li>
<li><strong>pipeline</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): <code class="highlighter-rouge">gst</code> pipeline description.</li>
</ul>
<p>Only the <code class="highlighter-rouge">music</code> media type is supported.</p>
<h2><a class="title-link" name="setup" href="#setup"></a> Setup</h2>
<p>And then install the following system dependencies:</p>
<p>Debian/Ubuntu/Rasbian:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo apt-get install python3-gst-1.0 <span class="se">\</span>
gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 <span class="se">\</span>
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly <span class="se">\</span>
gstreamer1.0-tools
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Red Hat/Centos/Fedora:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo yum install -y python-gstreamer1 gstreamer1-plugins-good <span class="se">\</span>
gstreamer1-plugins-ugly
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>For Fedora replace <code class="highlighter-rouge">yum</code> with <code class="highlighter-rouge">dnf</code>.</p>
<p>If youre running Home Assistant in a virtual environment, youll need to symlink the system Pythons <code class="highlighter-rouge">gi</code> module into your virtual environment:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>ln -s /path/to/your/installation/of/gi /path/to/your/venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>On a Raspberry PI, you may need to add the Home Assistant user to the <code class="highlighter-rouge">audio</code> group:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo usermod -a -G audio &lt;ha_user&gt;
</code></pre>
</div>

<h3><a class="title-link" name="using-with-tts" href="#using-with-tts"></a> Using with TTS</h3>
