[External] Re: GstPushSrc create method

Thanks for your response Tim.

Why do you want to or need to control that?

+++++++I need to process data on demand after having created and loading the pipeline once. Now I have no control on the create. I want the create to be called when I need to process a buffer of data.

Could you provide some more context about what you're trying to achieve
exactly? (big picture)

What kind of source element is it? (audio, video, something else)
+++++++It’s a custom source element that I have written, inheriting from GstPushSrc.

Is it a live source? Where does your data come from? Can it be produced
on demand or do you have to wait for it or is it produced in regular
intervals (e.g. at X fps)?
+++++++Yes it is a live source. My pipeline is loaded in a DLL, where each object is created using the factory. I set properties on the Source object when a specific function is called. The create method currently is blocking on that property being set.

The create method will typically be called whenever a new buffer is
needed, which is typically when downstream (transform ! sink) are done
with the previous buffer and give control back to the source. Assuming
there are no queues in between.
+++++++ I can see the create being called when the Sink is done but I now I had to add a wait (using sleep) in the create.
Cheers
 Tim
