[gst-devel] Stopping a live capture

[Zhao, Halley]

For test use, you can specific ‘-num-buffers=n’ for camera src.
For real case, you’d better send EOS to camera src to quit the pipeline.

From my experience, ‘ctrl+c’ made my mp4 file corrupted, though it works for ogg file.
Not sure v4l2src support EOS or not, I added it in my camera src to make sure the hw stop in order.

When executing a gst-launch-ed pipeline that is capturing a live feed, what's the best way to stop it other than ctrl-C?  Windows and Linux answers are needed if they differ.

gst-launch stops whenever it gets EOS, an error or the user presses ctrl-c AFAIK.

When capturing live, it is useful to use -e option to force the pipeline to push an EOS through the pipeline to make elements finalize their work properly when ctrl-c is pressed.


Thanks,
