[gst-devel] gstmpegdemux no_more_pads

[Mohit Garg]

Thanks Tim.

Putting queues still does not help. I am attaching the log with the queues
in place.

I do not see the pipeline reaching PLAYING state. The pipeline *hangs* and I
need to kill it using Ctrl-C. As soon as I kill it, I see "ERROR: pipeline
doesn't want to preroll". See line number 44930 of the attached logs.

My suspicion is that mpgdemux does not send no-more-pads and hence decodebin
does not change state to PLAYING which means filesink does not preroll.

Has anyone used mpgdemux with decodebin and filesink?

thanks and regards
Mohit
