I need the gstreamer server to be able to immediately signal to the receiver any change made, in order for the receiver to display the changes on the screen. my approach is to create a socket connection between the server and receiver and do the signalling through it.

Any change to the streamed video at the gstreamer process (at the server side) immediately triggers the socket process to send a message informing the client about it.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">I am quite a beginner in both gstreamer and socket programming but I feel that this approach in inefficient and there should be more efficient way to do this using gstreamer only. So the question is whether gstreamer provides a signalling mechanism between the server and its clients? If yes, please help and explain how to start learning so.</font></div><div><font
