We have started work on a GStreamer daemon (http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/harrier) that is controlled via D-Bus messages.  Does anyone know of other work done in this area? Background: We call the GStreamer daemon gstd.  We have a command line utility, call gst-client that can interact with gstd.  For example,     gst-client create "videotestsrc pattern=0 ! warptv ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink" The create option returns an ID for the created pipeline - in this case it will be ID 0.  gstd allows multiple pipelines to exist at the same time. Now we can start the stream playing:     gst-client play --id=0 Once it is playing, we can dynamically set element properties, such as change the pattern generated by videotestsrc   gst-client set --id=0  videotestsrc pattern We modeled gst-client after gst-launch, with the ability to dynamically set element properties. gst-client is just an example program showing how to use gstd.  We will interact with gstd with GUI applications and web servers. Since we are using D-Bus, we need to have a bus name and corresponding object path.  I would like to use D-Bus name: org.freedesktop.gstreamer.gstd D-Bus object path: /org/freedesktop/gstreamer/gstd Note: this approach is similar to the one followed by (the apparently defunct) Gstreamer On-Demand (<A HREF="http://static.fi/~zeenix/repos/god/spec.html)">http://static.fi/~zeenix/repos/god/spec.html)</A> Todd </BODY> </HTML>
