[gst-devel] Timestamp question

[Rad E.]

Hi,

 

I'm running a pipeline fed by rtspsrc.  The pipeline incorporates a GstTee/queues.

 

Something like:

rtspsrc -> ... -> tee -> queue -> element
-> sink

                     
-> queue -> element -> sink

 

The rtspsrc documention suggests that it is a live
source:

"rtspsrc acts like a live source and will therefore
only generate data in the PLAYING state."

 

An element downstream of the rtspsrc/tee/queue is
receiving frames in the PAUSED state, immediately before the element is set to
the PLAYING state.  Is this normal, or is
something incorrect with my pipeline that I should investigate further?

 

Receiving the frames in the PAUSED state presents a
problem.  I would like to convert each
buffer's pipeline timestamp to a system timestamp.  So for instance if the frame was timestamped
0.25 seconds ago by rtspsrc, I'd like to generate a wall clock/system time of
current time - 0.25 seconds.  We achieved
this using the element base src time, but that time isn't available in PAUSED
state.

 

I received a recommendation from IRC to use
gst_element_query_position, but looking at the docs its not clear to me how to
use that to make this work.  Does anyone
have ideas, either a way to work around the frames arriving in PAUSED, or a
different way to calculate time?
Thanks
