John, For me it work perfectly. Please try following things 1) gst-launch v4l2src ! image/jpeg,width=320,<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> framerate=30/1,rate=30 ! ffdec_mjpeg ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink sync=false </blockquote><div>To know its not because of sink dropping 2) try with videotestsrc ! jpegenc , instead of v4l2src 3) if your cam also outputs yuv/rgb try without capsfilter and decoder 4) If non of above gives any clue run with GST_DEBUG thanks regards kapil </div> <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 10:40 AM, John Buckley <<a href="mailto:buckleyassoc@comcast.net">buckleyassoc@comcast.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello, I seem to be having a pretty common problem. My gst-launch command executes and starts the pipeline properly with no errors. Then displays a single frame and the video freezes. There are no errors and it appears that the pipeline is still running. Ctrl-C pauses the pipeline properly and then everything cleans up nicely. I read on this mailing list that the jpegdec element only decodes one frame and that I should use the ffdec_mjpeg element. So I did. Same problem. According to that same mail thread this is not true and the individual was able to eventually get his streaming working using jpegdec. So, I am stuck. These are the commands that I have tried with a couple of slight variations. Does anyone have any ideas? gst-launch v4l2src ! image/jpeg,width=320,framerate=30/1,rate=30 ! jpegdec ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink gst-launch v4l2src ! image/jpeg,width=320,framerate=30/1,rate=30 ! ffdec_mjpeg ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink Thanks, John Buckley -- View this message in context: <a href="http://old.nabble.com/gst-launch-hangs-after-displaying-first-frame-tp26226559p26226559.html" target="_blank">http://old.nabble.com/gst-launch-hangs-after-displaying-first-frame-tp26226559p26226559.html</a> Sent from the GStreamer-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
