Terminate pipeline after fixed time

[Michael Gruner]

If you don’t need buffer-level precision, you can try using g_timeout_add_seconds. That will allow you to install a callback that will be invoked after N seconds. From there you can stop the pipeline.

I tried using the GST_MESSAGE_DURATION event and terminating from there, but the file is created but not written to. I think I need to somehow signal to the file sink element to flush the data before termination.
