Ghosting is not specific to using gtksink. If you use custom bins with<br>
pads, you have to learn how to ghost the pads.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Totally agreed. But how would you use videoconvert to gtksink in PyGst? <br></div><div><br></div><div>Here's the thing:</div><div><br></div><div>gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location="blah" ! videoconvert ! gtksink</div><div><br></div><div>Just works. But if you use the parse_bin_from_description() API you then have to ghost pad out videoconvert to gtksink to make it actually display something. I understand why now but there are like ZERO examples of this idiom anywhere I could find by simply Googling. Mattias was kind of enough to suggest this and ti worked.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ah, now I'm starting to see what you are doing, in absence of code, it's hard to understand fully. See Micheal next reply. Something similar to this is easier, I've used v4l2src as you seem to very dislike videotestsrc ;-P</div><div><br></div><pre> p = Gst.parse_launch("v4l2src ! videoconvert ! gtksink name=sink") </pre><pre> s = p.get_by_name("sink")</pre><pre> box.pack_start(s.props.widget, ...)</pre><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><br></div><div>The bottom line is most of the examples out there are just flat out wrong. Shouldn't the official gstreamer doc be a bit more comprehensive in this regard? At leaat on the Python side? I'm just asking. I'm not excusing any one of being lazy.
