Changing filesink location after a mux with many inputs.

Dear all,
I did not achieve to create full legible muxed files for Gstreamer 0.10 on
top of multifilesink or output-selector.
After analysing lots of alternatives my solution takes as code base the
example depicted in:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-dynamic-pipelines.html
The probes function API has been changed a bit but the solution below works
to create every N seconds different MP4 files:
static GstElement *pipeline = NULL;
// Pipeline -> src -> dynamic pipeline
// Pipeline -> capsfilter(f264file) -> mp4mux(mux0)
-> filesink(fsink0)
// Pipeline -> elem_before||blockpad| ->
|elem_cur_sinkpad||elem_cur||elem_cur_srcpad -> |elem_cur_sinkpad||elem_cur
static gulong probe_id; // probe ID
static GstElement *elem_before; // SRC of dynamic pipeline
static GstElement *elem_after; // SINK of dynamic pipeline
static GstElement *elem_cur; // Main element of dynamic pipeline
static GstPad *blockpad; // SRC pad to be blocked
static GstPad *elem_cur_srcpad; // SRC pad where check EOS
static GstPad *elem_cur_sinkpad; // SINK of dynamic pipeline
static GstPad *elem_after_sinkpad; // SINK of SINK element
// Last Buffer Timestamp
static GstClockTime last_ts = 0;
typedef enum {
NO_NEW_FILE, // Keep current file destination
NEW_FILE, // Switch file destination
} NewFileStatus;
static NewFileStatus newfile = NO_NEW_FILE; // Switch File Flag
static int counter = 1; // Index filename
// EOS listener to switch to other file destination
static gboolean
event_probe_cb (GstPad * pad, GstEvent * event, gpointer user_data)
{
g_print ("INSIDE event_probe_cb:%d type:%s\n",probe_id,
GST_EVENT_TYPE (event)==GST_EVENT_EOS?"EOS":GST_EVENT_TYPE
(event)==GST_EVENT_NEWSEGMENT?"NEWSEGMENT":"OTHER");
if (GST_EVENT_TYPE (event) != GST_EVENT_EOS)
{
// Push the event in the pipe flow (false DROP)
return TRUE;
}
// remove the probe first
gst_pad_remove_event_probe (pad, probe_id);
gst_object_unref (elem_cur_srcpad);
gst_object_unref (elem_after_sinkpad);
gst_element_release_request_pad(elem_cur, elem_cur_sinkpad);
gst_element_set_state (elem_cur, GST_STATE_NULL);
gst_element_set_state (elem_after, GST_STATE_NULL);
// remove unlinks automatically
GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (pipeline, "removing %" GST_PTR_FORMAT, elem_cur);
gst_bin_remove (GST_BIN (pipeline), elem_cur);
GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (pipeline, "removing %" GST_PTR_FORMAT, elem_after);
gst_bin_remove (GST_BIN (pipeline), elem_after);
GstElement * mux0 = gst_element_factory_make("mp4mux", "mux0");
GstElement * fsink0 = gst_element_factory_make("filesink", "fsink0");
elem_cur = mux0;
elem_after = fsink0;
if(!mux0 || !fsink0)
{

}
GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (pipeline, "adding %" GST_PTR_FORMAT, elem_cur);
gst_bin_add (GST_BIN (pipeline), elem_cur);
GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (pipeline, "adding %" GST_PTR_FORMAT, elem_after);
gst_bin_add (GST_BIN (pipeline), elem_after);
char buffer[128];
sprintf(buffer, "test_%d.mp4", counter++);
g_print ("File Switching %s\n", buffer);
g_object_set(G_OBJECT(elem_after), "location", buffer, NULL);
GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (pipeline, "linking..");
elem_cur_srcpad = gst_element_get_static_pad (elem_cur, "src");
elem_cur_sinkpad = gst_element_get_request_pad (elem_cur, "video_%d");
elem_after_sinkpad = gst_element_get_static_pad (elem_after, "sink");
if(gst_pad_link(blockpad, elem_cur_sinkpad) != GST_PAD_LINK_OK)

return -1;

GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (pipeline, "done");

// Check if Buffer contains a KEY FRAME
static gboolean
is_sync_frame (GstBuffer * buffer)
{

{
return FALSE;
}
else if (!GST_BUFFER_FLAG_IS_SET(buffer, GST_BUFFER_FLAG_IN_CAPS))
{
return TRUE;
}
}
// Block source and launch EOS to MUXER to achieve a full muxed file
static gboolean
pad_probe_cb (GstPad * pad, GstBuffer * buffer, gpointer user_data)
{
g_print ("\n\tINSIDE pad_probe_cb:%d %s %s\n",probe_id,
(newfile?"newfile":"thesame"),
(is_sync_frame (buffer)?"KEYframe":"frame"));
GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (pad, "pad is blocked now");
last_ts = GST_BUFFER_TIMESTAMP(buffer);
if(!GST_CLOCK_TIME_IS_VALID(last_ts))
last_ts=0;
if((newfile==NO_NEW_FILE) || !is_sync_frame (buffer))
return TRUE;
/* remove the probe first */
gst_pad_remove_buffer_probe (pad, probe_id);
/* install new probe for EOS */
probe_id = gst_pad_add_event_probe (elem_after_sinkpad,
G_CALLBACK(event_probe_cb), user_data);
/* push EOS into the element, the probe will be fired when the
* EOS leaves the effect and it has thus drained all of its data */
gst_pad_send_event (elem_cur_sinkpad, gst_event_new_eos ());
// Wait til the EOS have been processed the Buffer with the Key frame
will be the FIRST
while(newfile != NO_NEW_FILE)
Sleep(1);
// Push the buffer in the pipe flow (false DROP)
return TRUE;
}
// this timeout is periodically run as part of the mainloop
static gboolean timeout (gpointer user_data)
{
g_print ("TIMEOUT\n");
if(!playing)
return false;
newfile = NEW_FILE;
/* install new probe for Keyframe and New File */
probe_id = gst_pad_add_buffer_probe (blockpad, G_CALLBACK(pad_probe_cb),
pipeline);
return true;
}
Best,
