[gst-devel] SoupHttpSrc(CurlSrc) repeat read option

[Dragos Cirjan]

Since I kinda finished my plugin ( using curl ) also ( without help :)) ), I
will merge the two threads I made.
Btw. you can find my plugin here:
http://dor.homelinux.com/gstcurlsrc.tgz(For now it's on ALPHA stage).

I need to know how to repeat reading a jpeg image, because THERE ARE Video
Cameras/Servers that DO NOT have mJPEG option, but only JPEG, and you really
need to simulate mJPEG by reading the source repeatedly.

The question remains: Can you please help me add such an option either to my
plugin either to souphttp plugin?

Edward, I need you to explain to me a little more detailed. If it is the way
I understood, I can't do that. I'm suppose that in the end I should be able
to run at least 32 threads (as in mpeg/jpeg/mjpeg links) in the same time,
and it may become to complicated adding fakesrc's while I still belive I can
add such an option.

Tim, I have all the sources downloaded for a few weeks now, but still I
couldn't find more than neon and soup as http sources. If there are others,
their names do not sugest this.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

P.S. I have an ideea, but I simply do not have the energy to work on it
today anymore. If it comes out to be good, I'll probably let u know tomorow.
Still I am 90% sure I still need your help.
