Help needed regarding buffering

[Vijay Vikram]

Hi Wim,
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply.

I have tried this thing with queue2 too.

The steps are mentioned below
1. Set max-size-bytes= 10MB(for queue's max capacity)
2. Set low-percent=high-percent=5 initially.

Now I am listening to bus messages. On GST_MESSAGE_BUFFERING, when I get
the percent vlaue, I am always getting either 0 or 100.

Is it that restrictin based on number of bytes is not correct. rather we
should restrict the percentage values based on time as explained in the
link you have shared?

Or Is there something wrong with my understanding?

Regards,
Vikram
