I am writing an application to read video frame data from any video
file that gstreamer supports and save it in memory. To do this I
need to extract the image data from a video from a playing pipeline.
The gstreamer manual is a little unclear on the "best" way to do this
so I thought I would ask the group. The data probing page in the
manual says the following:
"If you just want to inspect buffers as they pass through the
pipeline, you don't even need to set up pad probes. You could also
just insert an identity element into the pipeline and connect to its
"handoff" signal."
On the very next page in the manual, the topic "Manually adding or
removing data from/to a pipeline" reads as follows:
"Those who're paying close attention, will notice that the purpose of
identity is almost identical to that of probes. Indeed, this is
true. Probes allow for the same purpose, and a bunch more, and with
less overhead plus dynamic removing/adding of handlers, but apart
from those, probes and identity have the same purpose, just in a
completely different implementation type."
This leaves me a little confused as to which method is better for
getting data out of pipeline.
Which method is the better method?
Thanks for any advice you can offer,
-Nick
