E.g. if you run a UI, you can do the gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_NULL); call, when the user presses a button. If you do a commandline application, you have to handle that on your own.</blockquote> <div> Yes, because I'm developing a command line application that is my problem, I don't know how to handle it. If anyone have a suggestion I'd greatly appreciate it. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> > > Regards > Christoffer Nyborg > Stefan </blockquote></div> Regards Christoffer Nyborg
