Checking if a resource exists in gstreamer

[xargon-2]

Hello,

Currently, if the pipeline is passed a URI resource that does not
exist or is unavailable, then gstreamer has a hard exit.

Is there a gstreamer way to check for the availability opf the
resource or maybe change this behaviour to not abort.

Cheers,
Luca

As far as I know, the gstelement that handles the URI should emit a message on the bus. You should have code that catches handles GST_MESSAGE_ERROR that is posted on the bus. There you should shutdown the pipeline and inform the user.

If this doesn't happen and gstreamer just crashes all together, then I don't know...

GStreamer should not abort in this case. You did not provide any details
of what you are doing exactly or how GStreamer did a 'hard exit', but
GStreamer crashing or aborting usually indicates either a bug in
GStreamer or in your application. If you think it's a bug in GStreamer
you should file a bug in bugzilla with more details so we can fix it.

Cheers
