feeding images to imagefreeze

[Brian McKeon]

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone with more experience can point me in the right direction.

I'm trying to push jpeg images into a gstreamer pipeline. When an image 
gets put into the pipeline, I want it to stream that image until I 
signal the pipeline to pull the next image, and so on.

My python code copies each image into a gstbuffer and pushes that into 
an appsrc element. The appsrc element then feeds into a decoder and then 
into an imagefreeze element.

It works fine, except that I can't make the imagefreeze element pull 
additional buffers from appsrc.

As soon as it has one buffer, it doesn't pull any others. The buffers 
just queue up in the appsrc element with nowhere to go.

Ideally I'd like to be able to send a signal to imagefreeze to tell it 
when to pull the next image buffer from appsrc. But I haven't been able 
to find anyway of accomplishing this.

It occurred to me that maybe imagefreeze wasn't designed for this 
purpose and that I may need to go into the source code and add this 
feature myself.

But I first wanted to check with everyone to see if there's an easier 
way of accomplishing this.

All ideas are welcome! :)

Thanks so much!

Brian
