Interpipe - Switching between two pipelines.

[Michael Gruner]

Hi Aravindhan

Interpipes are essentially appsink/appsrc underneath.

I’ve seen this accumulation you’re referring to, and it’s almost always due to the interpipesrc (appsrc) queuing buffers. Make sure you limit the internal capacity via max-bytes, max-time or max-buffers and configure it to block or drop buffers when the internal queue is full, via block or leaky-type.

As per alternatives, there’s always the input-selector, intervideosrc/interaudiosrc or even handling the dynamic branches yourself programmatically.

At first we we investigated using https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/application-development/advanced/pipeline-manipulation.html, it worked well for switching single element, but swapping most of pipeline didn't go well for us.
