[gst-devel] ES filtering? (and java binding)

[Angelo Difino]

Hi all,
i'm usign the java binding of gstreamer libs (it works great!!!) and i'm
in trouble with Playbin .

Some info: i need to implement an ad hoc pipeline as explained below
(simple scenario: SRC-DEMUX-myplugin-DECODER-SINK).
i've successfully created a pipeline for an mp3 file:

Element mytool = ElementFactory.make ("plugin", "mytool");
             Element decoder = ElementFactory.make ("mad", "decode");
Element conv = ElementFactory.make ("audioconvert", "audioconvert");
Element resample = ElementFactory.make ("audioresample", "audioresample");
Element audiosink = ElementFactory.make ("directsoundsink", "play_audio");
                bin.addMany(filesrc, mytool , decoder, conv,
resample, audiosink);
bin.linkMany(filesrc, mytool , decoder, conv, resample, audiosink);

now, i'd like to insert mytool in 'any' pipeline. i've checked the
typefinder, but for my understanding it's not available on java binding (type
finder emit a gobject's signal and not a bus gstremer signal so from java
side i can't catch it... am i wrong?).

So, i've tried to use a Playbin that create 'any' pipeline and insert manually
mytool. but, here is the point: i really can't understand 'when' to do
this dirty
job. have i to insert mytool after the element 'source' and before the
"preroll_audio_src0"
element? and can i do this 'insert' also if the pipeline is playing?

sorry for so many details and for a really long mail,
hope someone knows how to workaround,
you can catch me online on irc as angelo_difino.

Best regards,
Angelo
