Asnc-Handling On autovideosink

[Michael MacIntosh]

Hi, I recently started working with gstreamer, and I am trying to make a video pipeline where you can watch the video while it is being recorded from a live source (an ip camera).  I got something to work, but I do not know why it works.

I should start off with I am using the prebuilt windows binary version 1.11.2 of gstreamer.

The problem I am facing is that setting async-handling to true on the autovideosink causes everything to work, but if it is set to false, the pipeline is frozen and never starts.

I got to this solution from this Stack Overflow answer:

http://stackoverflow.com/a/8532148/5125564

However the documentation:

https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstBin.html#GstBin--async-handling

States that it should only be used if the bin subclass is modifying the state of its children on its own, which I don't think autovideosink does.

I just want to make sure I am not doing anything wrong that will come to bite me later.

Here is a gst-launch command line to recreate the situtation (this command line works).

gst-launch-1.0.exe --gst-debug-level=3 uridecodebin uri=<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="rtsp://">rtsp://{username}:{password}@{ip_address} ! queue ! tee name=t ! autovideosink async-handling=true t. ! x264enc ! mp4mux ! filesink location=C:\\GStreamerTests\\taco123.mp4

And I get this output:

However, if I change async handling from true to false (or just remove it because the default is false).  I get this command line (this command line does NOT work):

gst-launch-1.0.exe --gst-debug-level=3 uridecodebin uri=<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="rtsp://">rtsp://{username}:{password}@{ip_address} ! queue ! tee name=t ! autovideosink async-handling=false t. ! x264enc ! mp4mux ! filesink location=C:\\GStreamerTests\\taco123.mp4

And I get this output:

Then nothing happens until i ctrl+c the process.

Any feedback is welcome.  Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Michael.
