Setting different states for subpipelines

Hi gstreamer-devels,

I have a question concerning the change of states in the pipeline.

I have my main pipeline containing 2 video branches:

(subpipeline1): filesrc1 - decodebin1 - ffmpegcolorspace1 - directdrawsink1

(subpipeline2): filesrc2 - decodebin2 - ffmpegcolorspace2 - directdrawsink2

I start each line with a different file and am able now to set a seek for each (thanks to previous gst-devel help). These 2 lines are supposed to run synchronously (the files are played in parallel). My problem now is that when one of the file ends (end of seek reached), I need to set a new file (with a new seek). To do this, I set my main pipeline to state READY, then set the new file name and seek in my branch and then set the state back to PLAYING. But doing so, the other subpipeline looses its position and starts over the file it was playing. I tried therefore to set the main pipeline to PAUSED, then only the subpipeline to be changed in READY (then i set its new file), and finally PLAYING again. But I can't have it working... Is it possible to have different subparts of the main pipeline in different states, or am I just going wrong direction?

Regards,

Re: Setting different states for subpipelines

Hi Albert,
maybe gst_element_set_locked_state could be an entry point to solve your problem. It basically removes state dependency with the parent.

Re : Setting different states for subpipelines

Thanks Yann,

I've done some testing, but none gave satisfaction up to now.

Basically what I tried is as follows (with different variations):

-set main pipeline to pause,

-lock state for filesrc1

-set pipeline to ready

-change the filesrc2 location to new file, and set its seek event

-unlock state for filesrc1

-set pipeline to ready

What I usually end up with, is the program hanging for a state change, or a video freeze...

Any hint on good practices to follow?
