Hi, well in this way it seems to work. I put the following code in a loop (a while-cond). while (cond) { loop = g_main_loop_new (NULL, FALSE); play = getPipeline3(argv,video1, dur1,video2,comp, op); playSigVideo(argv,video1,dur1,video2,dur2,op,play); bus2 = gst_pipeline_get_bus (GST_PIPELINE (play)); gst_bus_add_watch (bus2, bus_call, loop); gst_object_unref (bus2); g_main_loop_run (loop); gst_element_set_state (play, GST_STATE_NULL); gst_object_unref (GST_OBJECT (play)); ] I need to recreate the pipeline and loop. Is there another way? since I learning I'd like to know.

You want 3 videos, so 3 gst_element_factory_make should appear. I think that you are reusing the same variable for different multimedia objects. Moreover, it is important that the name associated to each GstElement shouldn't be repeated, specially for concurrent objects.

I meant, I execute video2 twice with differents properties, first for those corresponding to argv[2], and the second to argv[1]. Whatever were the values at argv[2] it doesn't matter if argv[1] are the correct ones. I mean this: video1 video2, argv[2] to play at x time video2 argv[1] to play after video1 It skips argv[2], so it keeps with the las values set. So, how I do to play a playlist with crossfade?. I wish I were clear.

It only play the 1st vido. So I put back the variables. In fact, I want to have a play list, so I need to calculate the next start/duration attribute (I need variables for that). As I said if I test with 2 videos it works fine, the problems is when a 3rd one comes to the scenario. This is the situation. I want to play a playlist with crossfade between videos. The crossfade time is fixed: 500ms. The first video lasts 9000ms The 2nd lasts 8000ms. The 3rd lasts 9000ms. 2nd video, start duration: 9000 - 500 // video1 duration - crossfade duration 3rd video start duration: 9000 + 8000 - 2*500 // video1 duration + video 2 duration - 2 * crossfade duration According some test I did, it has to do with starting time of both, operation and 3rd video.

It works fine when I do the same with 2, but when I put the 3rd something happens and the player displays only the first. Actually I use 2 videos, and I did a playlist such video1 -> video2 -> video2, where the 3rd time, I set the new starting time of the video2 object. video1 starts at 0, and its durations is dur1 I use an operator to handle the alpha channel, it starts at dur1 - dur_crossfade video2, starts at dur1 - dur_crossfade And the starting time of video 2 the third time is dur1 + dur2 - dur_crossfade.
