Some of the pads are unusefull but I've leaved it... I can't find any pads or element properties to convert my time_t (<a name="112dcbe8594e1d2e_returnValueToggle">the time as seconds elapsed since midnight, January 1, 1970) to the TIME type that you are talking about. However I've tried the buffer allocation with  GST_BUFFER_MALLOCDATA but nothing is changed. I don't believe that is possible to run my MFC application with GST_DEBUG output, or I was unable to find a way to do it. I see that offset parameter of gst_buffer increments with the first packets from 0 to X, it sounds good but the offset_end have a different value (the ending byte of the offset, I assume), so I've tried to force this value to the offset one but nothing to do. I think that the problem is in timestamp value but I cannot find a way to escape from this hell... </a> <div>2007/5/30, Tim Muller <<a href="mailto:t.i.m@zen.co.uk" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> t.i.m@zen.co.uk </a>>:<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Riccardo Corona <<a href="mailto:coronariccardo@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> coronariccardo@gmail.com </a>> wrote : Hi, > Hi,during my test with gstreamer app for win32 I've used a fakesrc with > an handoff function in which I obtain some mpeg4 fragment that is put into > a gstbuffer.

(there may also be problems due to fakesrc sending a newsegment event in BYTES format, but the videosink expecting a TIME format, so it depends on your pipeline setup if there's an element that converts it to TIME Format or not). > //fg_image->pixel_ptr contains the mpeg4 image buffer > gst_buffer_set_data(buffer,fg_image->pixel_ptr,fg_image->dimension); Have you tried memcpy()'ing the data first, to make sure the data you're passing is not invalidated while it makes its way through the pipeline? Maybe something like (this assumes you're getting passed empty buffers, which may not be the case if you've set certain fakesrc properties):   GST_BUFFER_MALLOCDATA(buffer) =       g_memdup (fg_image->pixel_ptr,fg_image->dimension);   GST_BUFFER_DATA(buffer) = GST_BUFFER_MALLOCDATA(buffer);   GST_BUFFER_SIZE(buffer) = fg_image->dimension; In case it's your handoff callback that stops being called, run your program with   GST_DEBUG=basesrc:5 yourapp (or whatever the way to set an environment variable is on win32) to see why it stops/pauses (see 'flow' or 'reason').
