<br>
I was wondering whether there exists an element to control the<br>
(download) bitrate in the pipeline. Something like:<br>
<br>
souphttpsrc location=... ! bitrate max-bitrate=100000 ! ...<br>
<br>
As I understand, none of the source elements offer this functionality<br>
and I'm looking for something that'd work with arbitrary byte streams<br>
(say, MPEG-TS).<br>
<br>
I checked all plugins built on my PC but couldn't find anything<br>
suitable but I might have missed something.<br>
<br>
I suppose such element would either block in push mode to accommodate<br>
for the selected bitrate or in pull mode it'd schedule data requests<br>
accordingly.<br>
<br>
Any hints appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Kris<br>
