I'll see if I can post something reasonable in size, plus not completely torn apart. Yes I'm doing the state change in the callback. Which I guess means I'm in the streaming thread, which might explain it. Sure wish there was a nice detailed reference on gstreamer about what you can and can't do versus poking and prodding things. My test project is simply handling EOS from a icecast server and switching to a new feed. In short, if loss of signal (network failure, end of stream, etc), switch to a test signal (such as snow). I think the trauma I'm having is basically understanding the abilities of oggdemux and theoradec upon EOS and what is necessary to re-instantiate/restart them.

Do you have a small test application that demonstrates your issue? Where are you doing the set_state call from? Are you doing it from a callback? (i.e. from the streaming thread not your application thread) Cheers -Tim > > On Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 1:45 AM, Tim-Philipp Müller <<a href="mailto:t.i.m@zen.co.uk">t.i.m@zen.co.uk</a>> > wrote > On Thu, 2012-09-06 at 21:54 -0700, Brian Quandt wrote: > > > Is there a way to get an appsink out of EOS, after it has > received > > such a notification and now reports itself via its eos > property as > > being in EOS (ie eos property which is readonly is set to > true)? > > > > Or do you have to just delete the element and recreate it > and hook a > > new one back into the bin? > > Either do a flushing seek on the pipeline (or the sink), or > set the > sink's state to NULL or READY and then back to PLAYING again. > > Cheers > -Tim > > _______________________________________________ > gstreamer-devel mailing list > <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org">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> > > _______________________________________________ > gstreamer-devel mailing list > <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org">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> _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org">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>
