<div dir="ltr"><div>The secret is to not add any elements to a pipeline that aren't going to be used by the pipeline. I have a very similar setup in my application and I ended up creating output bins for the audio and video outputs.

I have implemented this pipeline by code: gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=test.mp4 ! qtdemux name=demux \ demux.video_00 ! queue max-size-buffers=2 max-size-time=0 max-size-bytes=0 ! ffdec_h264 ! xvimagesink \ demux.audio_00 ! queue max-size-buffers=8000 max-size-time=0 max-size-bytes=0 ! faad ! alsasink When I try to play a 'test.mp4' without audio channel the pipeline is frozen. I use the qtdemux callback "pad-added" to link the demux with the queues. When no audio channel is present no link is made from demux and audio queue. The problem is that the elements has been added initially to the pipeline but they never has data, then they can change to ready or playing state // Compose the pipeline. gst_bin_add_many( GST_BIN( pipeline ), filesrc, demux, video_queue, video_decode, video_sink, audio_queue, audio_decode, audio_sink, NULL ); // Link all elements that can be automatically linked because they have "Always" pads. if( gst_element_link_many( filesrc, demux, NULL ) != TRUE || gst_element_link_many( video_queue, video_decode, NULL ) != TRUE || gst_element_link_many( video_decode, video_sink, NULL ) != TRUE || gst_element_link_many( audio_queue, audio_decode, NULL ) != TRUE || gst_element_link_many( audio_decode, audio_sink, NULL ) != TRUE ) { TRACEMSG( "%s - One element could not be linked.\n", __FUNCTION__ ); gst_object_unref( pipeline ); return NULL; } I think its a begginer question but how can I solve this? Ideally I would like to know if it's possible to generate the correct pipeline at runtime? What's the correct way to implement this? Thanks!!
