Hello all.
It seems I took on a too difficult task as my first Gst project. I want to monitor a webcam, and, on clicking an image, save the picture. I'm using Gtk3 + introspection, and GStreamer 1.0. I got a chain working from v4l2src - filter - scale - convert - gtksink and was able to embed the code into a Gtk GUI, though now it seems to have stopped updating. I tried to 'tee' the signal from the viewer to a pngenc and then to a filesink, but never got that working - the chain creates the image file, but leaves it empty. I tried dozens of different approaches, even eliminating the viewer chain. In one case I could get a gst-launch chain capturing the images correct to a png, but translating the command into script did not work. Also, I detected the camerabin[2] module, but didn't find any Python script that uses it. I suspect that would solve my problem though. I don't know the list's policy on attachments - if they're accept I could add a compressed minimized program.

How I've done it;
- last element in pipeline is gdkpixbufsink - get the pipeline bus, with get_bus(), - connect a handler for the 'message' signal, - in the handler, use get_structure().get_name() to check for 'pixbuf', and if so call get_proprty('last-pixbuf) on the gdkpixbufsink element, - in the main program, call pixbuf.savev to convert to PNG file. Hope that helps. On Sun, Sep 09, 2018 at 03:30:40AM -0300, John Coppens wrote: > Hello all. > > It seems I took on a too difficult task as my first Gst project.

Thanks James! Somehow Google never pointed me to that particular sink - a bit strange, as many of the words must have coincided. And never crossed it in - at least - dozens of examples I looked over. As soon as I can get my hands on the camera again I'll try that out. Cheers!
