Camerabin : Failed to link camera source's vfsrc pad to viewfinder queue

[Lee Matthews]

Hi,

I'm trying to use camerabin to record video from an Android device.

Here is a code snippet :

pipeline = gst_pipeline_new (NULL);

g_print("create camera.\n");
camera  = gst_element_factory_make ("camerabin", "camerabin");
if(!camera) 
{
	g_print("camera create fail.\n");
	return HTTP_FAIL;
}

g_print("create source.\n");
source  = gst_element_factory_make ("v4l2src", "webcam");
if(!camera) 
{
	g_print("source create fail.\n");
	return HTTP_FAIL;
}

g_print("set source.\n");
g_object_set (camera,"camera-source",source,NULL); 	

g_print("create multisocketsink.\n");
multisocketsink = gst_element_factory_make ("multisocketsink", NULL);
g_object_set (multisocketsink,
	"unit-format", GST_FORMAT_TIME,
	"units-max", (gint64) 7 * GST_SECOND,
	"units-soft-max", (gint64) 3 * GST_SECOND,
	"recover-policy", 3 /* keyframe */ ,
	"timeout", (guint64) 10 * GST_SECOND,
	"sync-method", 1 /* next-keyframe */ ,
	NULL);
	
g_print("set viewdfinder.\n");
g_object_set (camera,"viewfinder-sink",multisocketsink,NULL); 	 	

g_print("add camera to pipeline.\n");
status = gst_bin_add (pipeline, camera);
if(!status) 
{
	g_print("Could not add camera to pipeline.\n");
	return HTTP_FAIL;
}

When I look at the output of logcat, I get the following messages :

What exactly is vfsrc ? I cannot find any reference to it. If it means view finder source, I don't understand why the v4l2src element would have these pads...


Thanks
