I think the my_filter will have close the connection to the sink and reopen a new one with the changed name. Am I correct? If so - how to do that? Or is there an easier way? Specifically I am trying to record video in 1 minute chunks and the name of the resulting files will contain timestamp of the beginning of the recording. Thank you for your help! roman _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank">gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel</a> </blockquote></div>
