communication between multiple gstreamer pipeline/apps

[timothe jahan]

Hi,
Thank you for the fast answer, however I have the impression that there is a
misunderstanding.
The command that fails is the server one, meaning :
*gst-launch filesrc location=./testfile.ogg ! tcpserversink port=1234*
So I do  not even have time to launch the client side. I believe that the
ffmpegcolorspace ! videoscale you proposed is for the client side (the one
who should actually display the video).
So if you would have any other idea ...

I am also not in favor at all of sending raw data but I just made it as a
try in case of.

About the global picture, I have a 8 audio channel capture card and a video
capture card.
What I am to achieve (LIVE !!!) is resampling the 8 audio channels to be in
sync with the video (I am planning to write a gstreamer module for that)
then encode all streams (video/audios) in mpeg2 for multichannel dvd,
h264/AAC for live mp4 streaming and all audios also in mp3 for mp3 CDs.
I need to do it live because everything needs to be available right after
the performance.
As you can imagine I would need a monster PC to do all that on one, that's
the reason why my first step is to find a protocol to send the streams at
the different stages of the process.

PS: I took an theora file for my test though this is not the codec I'll use
but as I said my first step is to define how to communicate.
