how to detect stop of RTSP streaming at source

[Will McElderry]

Hi Joe,


Not a direct answer to your question, but an idea for a workaround I 
used that may help you:

I used identity with a hand-off function that simply counts updates, 
then use a periodic timer to ensure updates keep coming through.

When no buffers have come through, time to terminate!


In my use-case I placed this after the mp4mux as it was refusing to pass 
data on after some unusual data was received, but it's a flexible approach.


I'd not be surprised if there is a standard pipeline element that does 
something similar...


Will.
