Fwd: EOS on shmsink hangs while waiting for someone to connect

[Nezer Zaidenberg]

Hi All 

I am using the shmsink element, but it seems that it ignores an EOS if it is waiting for someone to connect to it.

Is there any way to make it always accept EOS (even if waiting for someone to connect) - without using wait-for-connection=false?

Thanks

Interestingly, I ran into the same problem today (using GStreamer 1.9.x). The mentioned pipeline still exhibits the same behaviour (stuck at waiting for EOS). The same behaviour is observed in my python application which is pretty bad since this causes a memory leak on application close.

gst-launch-1.0 -e fakesrc ! shmsink socket-path=/tmp/encoded
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...

Notice that I needed to hit control+c twice. Is this a bug or am I wrong to conclude that we need an explicit EOS in order not to leak any memory?
