Taking a snapshot image.

robin-2
Hi,
 
I’ve setup a pipeline with two bins attached to a tee.  The first bin is simply for display (queue –> DirectDraw).  The second bin has a pipeline appropriate for writing a PNG (using pngenc), followed by a multifilesink.
 
My idea was that I could perhaps set some properties on the PNG element, or the file sink, to tell it to just capture 1 image, or capture 10 images at 1/25 (or whatever) and those images would then appear in the given directory.
 
For the single image case, I set snapshot to true on the pngenc.  This correctly took one image but it then managed to set the entire pipeline into an EOS state.  When I’m done, I unlink the pngend bin off the tee of course, but when I reattach it to take another snapshot, it doesn’t work (not the reattachment, the capture).   Debug output shows a whole load of QOS (quality of service), obviously because it’s all too slow with debug on (set to level 3).  I see no errors setting state to Playing though.
 
All in all I’m a little confused about how to do this.  If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it.
 
Here’s a kind-of overview of my pipeline:
 
-> (pipeline)
 
UDPSource,
Queue,
RTPDepay,
Mpeg4Decoder,
VideoRate,
Tee
 
-> (bin 1, off Tee)
 
Queue,                    
ColourSpaceConvert,
DirectDrawSink
 
-> (bin 2, off Tee)
 
Queue,
ColourSpaceConvert,
VideoRate,
CapsFilter,
ColourSpace2,
PNGEnc,
MultiFileSink
 
 
Thanks.
 
 
Robin
