[gst-devel] Multiple XVidio Windows

hi,
i am trying to play multiple video pipelines using the xvimagesink video
output plugin.

opening of the xdisplay and creation of the video window is done in my
application and the window id is made available to the xvimagesink
plugin, i.e. by catching the "prepare-window-id" message posted on the
bus.

i opened two xwindows and ran two seperate video pipelines, hoping that
each of the pipelines would emit the "prepare-window-id" message and
then i would provide each pipeline with a seperate window. but it
appears that the message is emitted only once (by whichever pipeline is
executed first)

is it possible to achieve what i am trying.

what i am actually trying to do, to display different videos on the
screen simultaneously. something very similar to  a video wall. so each
zone of the wall is handled by a separate player pipeline.

please help
thank you
