<div>I've just started using gstreamer in a project, and I have a couple of (probably dumb) questions that I haven't been able to find answers to online.<br clear="all"></div><div><br></div><div>I'm using a gstreamer pipeline with playbin followed by gstappsink to get streaming video data (MJPEG or MPEG2 over http) into my application. It's working pretty well, except for these two things:</div> <div><br></div><div>1. On Windows (using build 0.10.6 from ossbuild), when I try to connect to a stream that doesn't exist, playbin sends an error message on the bus after a few seconds. When the app sees the error, it prints a message telling the user it can't connect and shuts down. But on Linux (FC14, with gstreamer 0.10.31), it takes *several minutes* for playbin to decide it can't connect. Is there a way to configure the amount of time playbin will try to connect before giving up? </div> <div><br></div><div>2. The documentation says playbin is deprecated and I should really be using playbin2. I tried playbin2, but it wants to buffer for 10-15 seconds before it starts giving me any data. (playbin either does no buffering, or little enough that I don't notice.) I tried setting the properties "buffer-duration" and "buffer-size" to 0, but that didn't seem to change the behavior. How can I stop playbin2 from buffering, or at least get the buffer down to a reasonable amount?<br> </div><div><br></div><div>I would appreciate any advice about these two issues, or pointers to where to find more information. Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>-Alton</div><div><br></div>-- <br>________________________________________________________________________________<br> Alton Patrick<br><a href="mailto:hapatrick@gmail.com">hapatrick@gmail.com</a><br><a href="http://www.hapatrick.us/">http://www.hapatrick.us/</a><br>
