[gst-devel] decodebin2 + VA-API integration

[Gwenole Beauchesne]

Hi,

I am trying to integrate VA-APIi support to the standard decodebin2 
element. Currently, the VA-API plugins (vaapiconvert, vaapidecode, 
vaapisink) have GST_RANK_NONE rank.

So, the following won't work. That's normal:
$ gst-launch filesrc ! decodebin2 ! vaapisink

Then, I changed GST_RANK_NONE to GST_RANK_PRIMARY, decodebin2 will now see 
and use vaapidecode. However, it will fail to link vaapidecode to 
vaapisink. Rather, it tries to link vaapidecode0:src to some 
decodepad2:proxypad3 element.

Would someone know why vaapisink0:sink is not tried instead? Or what 
should be done in vaapisink so that decodebin2 actually links it to the 
vaapidecode element it found previously?

Thanks,
Gwenole.
