1. How to Stop/start recording using Valve element

You can alternatively use 
'async=false' property of filesink element to force the pipeline to go to PLAYING state.

Not sure how you change the pipeline dynamically in the code to launch two different pipeline. 


Both valve and identity plugin blocks the entire pipeline when drop properties are set during gst-launch as the pipeline elements will only be prerolled.


Solution to stop the data passing in one side of the tee element which I can think of is - 

 Launch the pipeline by creating individual elements by gst_element_factory_make and then 


*) Probe the data and drop the buffers as mentioned in 

http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/chapter-dataaccess.html

Hello All,


                       I am sending a video stream using a C920 HD camera as
an MP2TS stream. I am able to see video on android tablet also I used "tee"
element to record the video. To start stop video recording I am using
"valve" element. The default property of valve=FALSE so I used it in my
pipeline it works well the streaming as well as recording is done. But when
I used valve = TRUE to stop recording then it stops streaming also.
Streaming gets stuck just one frame is displayed on the screen.

Here below is my working pipeline with recording:--

data->pipeline =
 gst_parse_launch("udpsrc
 caps=\"video/mpegts,
systemstream=(boolean)true, packet-size=(int)188\" ! tsdemux ! h264parse !
tee name=myvid ! queue ! amcviddec-omxtiducati1videodecoder ! eglglessink
myvid. ! queue ! filesink location=/storage/sdcard0/Movies/Test.mp4",
&error);

Here below is my pipeline where streaming gets STUCK:-

data->pipeline = gst_parse_launch("udpsrc caps=\"video/mpegts,
systemstream=(boolean)true, packet-size=(int)188\" ! tsdemux ! h264parse !
tee name=myvid ! queue ! amcviddec-omxtiducati1videodecoder ! eglglessink
myvid. ! valve drop = true ! queue ! filesink
location=/storage/sdcard0/Movies/Test.mp4",
&error);


So please any one guide how to use Valve to stop recording and how I used it
in my pipeline.
I would appreciate any help for my problem.

Hi Timm-Phillipp

Right. So what you are saying is this: While a pipeline is
 prerolling, it
can NOT propagate EOS and later on you write that if a source detects EOF,
it signals to the sink of the pipeline and then the sink may
 later signal
EOS, when it enters Playing state.

Then I conclude this: If GStreamer has no other way to handle EOF for input
while prerolling, then GStreamer pipelines has a race condition and as such
it can be impossible to determine the exact outcome of a particular
scenario. Now I will not race to conclusion and race condtions can be many
things and even okay if handled properly, but here the pipeline ends up
doing nothing just sitting there and that somehow sounds pretty bad to me.
Don't you think that is a problem?

Somehow the sink needs to detect if it will NOT receive more data from
upstream, and if the pipeline is still prerolled, the sink should send the
EOS upstream. At least that that is the only way I know a pipeline will
terminate.

Am I wrong ?

True, but problem still apply.

Not sure if it does, but the sink at the end of the pipeline should somehow
detects when it
 will never leave the prerolling state and terminate.
Otherwise you have the race condition. And that is often pretty bad.

Hello, I developed an application using gstreamer to play songs in sequence
on Raspberry PI, the problem is that sometimes the application does not play
the sound, but throws no errors and seems to be working, just no sound. I
also realized that sometimes even closing and opening the application again
it still does not work, even resetting the operating system. I tested the
same application on Ubuntu on a PC and it worked normally. Does the problem
is the ARM architecture Rasperry PI that gstreamer does not support right? I
am being pressed to solve this problem, can someone help me?

Hi,

I am working on encoding a raw file image to jpeg image in C

Below is working structure in comand line to encode image :

gst-launch filesrc location=/home/root/one.raw blocksize=608256 ! \

'video/x-raw-yuv,
format=(fourcc)I420,width=(int)704,height=(int)576,framerate=(fraction)0/1'

! ffmpegcolorspace !
'video/x-raw-yuv,format=(fourcc)I420,width=(int)704,height=(int)576,,framerate=(fraction)0/1'
! vpuenc codec = 12 ! \

filesink location=/home/root/image.jpg

Below are pipeline structure :

app->src = gst_element_factory_make("filesrc", "mysrc");

app->encoder = gst_element_factory_make("vpuenc", "enc");

app->video_convert  = gst_element_factory_make ("ffmpegcolorspace", 
"converter");

app->imagesink = gst_element_factory_make("filesink", "myvsink");



have created all elements, objects.

g_object_set
 (app->src, "blocksize", BUFF_SIZE, NULL);

where BUFF_SIZE is 608256

g_object_set (app->encoder, "codec", 12, NULL);

gst_bin_add_many(GST_BIN(app->pipeline),
(GstElement*)app->src,app->video_convert,app->encoder,

                         app->imagesink, NULL);

filesrc location using : g_object_set(G_OBJECT(app->src),

                                "location", "/home/root/one.raw",NULL);

and,

filesink location using  : g_object_set(G_OBJECT(app->imagesink),

                                   "location", "/home/root/tr2.jpg",NULL);

I am getting link failed when I try to link app->src and
 app->video_convert,
and

app->video_convert and app->encoder

Below is C code for linking :

link_ok = gst_element_link_filtered (app->src, app->video_convert,

                                                    gst_caps_new_simple
("video/x-raw-yuv",

                                                        "format",
G_TYPE_STRING, "I420",

                                                        "width",G_TYPE_INT,
704,

                 
                                       "height",G_TYPE_INT,
576,

                                                      
//"framerate",GST_TYPE_FRACTION, 0,1,

                                                        NULL));

and

link_ok = gst_element_link_filtered (app->video_convert, app->encoder,

                                                        
gst_caps_new_simple
 ("video/x-raw-yuv",

                                                              "format",
G_TYPE_STRING, "I420",

                                                            
"width",G_TYPE_INT, 704,

                                                            
"height",G_TYPE_INT, 576,

                                                   
         
"framerate",GST_TYPE_FRACTION, 1,1,

                                                          // 
"pixel-aspect-ratio",GST_TYPE_FRACTION,1,1,

                                                              NULL));

Surprisingly the same caps works in command line but if I link through C its
giving error.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello

When
 playing multiple audio or video stream, I am using funnel instead of
using input-selector and I am trying to use output-selector before linking
fakesink.

this is my approach.

                                / ac3parse    - capsfilter - decoder \
                                  / fakesink
demux - multiqueue - ac3parse    - capsfilter - decoder - funnel -
output-selector - fakesink
                                \  ac3parse    - capsfilter - decoder /
                                  \ fakesink
                 
               \ h264parse  - capsfilter - decoder -
input-selector - fakesink

Actually, I could not find a proper element that is opposited element of
funnel.
So I am not sure this approach is proper or not?
And I am wondering that output-selector is a kind of opposite of funnel.

Thus, Please let me know if you have correct approach or some advice.

Thanks.

OK...i removed "codec_data" parameter from caps.
But still I dont know why I am getting same no decoder context error

As I can see from logs, everything is setting perfectly but still no codec
context.
Is it something related to DISCONT?

Thanks for all your help Tim.

Amy be I am
 very close..just a couple of steps away from actual playback:(
