GStreamer and Windows Named Pipes Sink

[Juan Garcia]

Dear gstreamer-devs,

First of all, thank you very much for this veeeeeery cool piece of software!

I have been looking for information about this on the Internet for a
long time to no avail.

Is there a way to use a Windows named pipe as a sink?

I guess it is not possible using the command line, as far as I've
understood. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Is at all possible do this in C++ using the GStreamer SDK?

Thank you very much!!

Kind regards,
Juanito

There is currently no sink (or src) for Windows named pipes, only for
the UNIX equivalents. You would have to write one, which should be
relatively simple if you start your code with e.g. fdsink and then just
replace everything with the Windows pipe API.

Thank you very much for the information. That looks like a good place to
start!
