Hello Tim, the context is very straightforward, I need to stop playing a video in order to fit certain schedulling issues/rules. So as I said before, if I have a video1 which lasts 2 mins, but video2 is scheduled to start at the next minute, I need to stop video1. I need it to play just one minute. This is the pipeline: textoverlay ----- ffmpegcolor ---- videoscale --- autovideosink decodebin2 ----queue ---audioconvert----audioresample---alsasink // audio (.avi) | filescr----avidemux | decodebin2 --- queue --- textoverlay.video_sink // video (.srt) filescr -----parse ------textoverlay.text_sink I was intended to do it with gst_element_send_event(pipeline, gst_event_new_eos()) and a 'trigger' [1] gst_clock_new_single_shot_id, where the gst_clock_id_wait_async has a callback function which calls [1]. But it doesn't work, I don't know if it's the best idea or the functions are in wrong places. Thanks for any suggestion.
