Source push plugin

[Luis dArquer]

Hi all,

I have been working for a few days on a plugin for gstreamer 1.0. This plugin is intended to view data from an Optris thermal camera using gst-launch pipelines.

I have got the base skeleton for the plugin, based on the "Plugin Writer's Guide (1.4.5)". I based my plugin on the GstPushSrc plugin. Basically it includes all the class/object definition boilerplate, and overrides the gstbasesrc->start and gstpushsrc->create methods. As a result I have defined:

_class_init: sets details and adds pad template (defined before with GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE)
_init (object): does nothing.
_start: sets blocksize and call _start_complete
_create: at the moment all it does is return GST_FLOW_OK
_init (plugin): registers the plugin

It compiles fine, creating libgstoptrissrc.so. However, when I try

gst-inspect-1.0 libgstoptrissrc.so

it hangs. I know I am not doing much in my code, but since my class is derived from GstPushSrc, I understand I only need to override the 'create' method. I would expect 'create' to make things fail, as it does not produce buffers yet, but does that really affect gst-inspect?
I am not sure whether I should attach my code here or at Bugzilla, since it is neither a bug nor a patch.

Is there something obvious I may be missing?

Regards,

Luis de Arquer
