dynamic file sink adding/removing to Tee

[Michael Gruner]

Hi

Some observations:

1. Out of curiosity, I tested your code and it does produce files with data in them (~53MB each).

2. I don’t see any MP4 container in your code, so even though the files are suffixed with .mp4, this is actually raw data. I.e: if I attempt to read the file manually I actually see a valid image:

gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location= PATH3.mp4 ! videoparse width=320 height=240 format=ayuv64 ! videoconvert ! autovideosink

The format in your setup will likely be different. I assume the code missing the container is because of the simplification you did of your original code.

3.  MP4 files __need__ to receive an EOS event in order for them to be playable. In your code, you may send the EOS event in the unlink_cb and wait for it to be received on the bus, before tearing everything down. A simpler alternative is to use another container which doesn’t need the EOS, like Transport Stream (mpegtsmux).

Hope this helps,

Michael
