[gst-devel] Changing file location during recording

[Aurelien Grimaud]

Hi,
I think that file is opened during the NULL -> READY transition and you 
cannot change a filesink location when file is already opened.
therefore, your filesink has to go to NULL in order to close the initial 
file and then to playing again to open the new file.

Block the tee sink pad before setting to NULL if you do not want to lose 
data.
