[gst-devel] v4lsrc: Could not synchronize on resource

[Kristofor Amundson]

Hi all,

I'm working on capturing media from a VGA signal grabber using gstreamer. It
is a v4l device, so I am successfully able to capture using v4lsrc. I am
having an issue with unplugging the VGA signal though, because the signal
grabber does not send blank frames, so the gstreamer pipeline stops because
it cannot synchronize on resource. Are there any options for me to somehow
keep the pipeline running and just insert blank frames?

I am using GStreamer 0.10.25 and this is what the debugging output for the
v4lsrc plugin looks like during the failure:
