decodebin and single frame images

[Steffen.Roeber]

Hui,
I'm using a filesrc, a decodebin2 and a appsink. If I use .avi file sall is fine. If I use image files like .bmp or .png the app sink gives me the image only one time. Following calls always return 0.
What I want to have is to retrieve the image in a loop. Seeking the pipeline to 0 seems not to work.
Is there any way to get this behaviour?

Regards

RE: still images as movies howto

Try

gst-launch filesrc location=file.png ! decodebin2 ! imagefreeze !
ffmpegcolorspace ! autovideosink

You may replace the last sink with ximagesink, xvimagesink, or similar.

If you need the corresponding C code, it roughly looks as this:

...

  gst_init (&argc, &argv);
  loop = g_main_loop_new (NULL, FALSE);
  pipeline = gst_pipeline_new ("Still video player");
  src =  gst_element_factory_make ("filesrc", "source_image");
  dec =  gst_element_factory_make ("pngdec", "decode_bin");
  img_freeze = gst_element_factory_make ("imagefreeze", "image_freeze");
  conv = gst_element_factory_make ("ffmpegcolorspace", "ffmpeg-colorspace");
  sink = gst_element_factory_make ("ximagesink", "directdrawsink-output");

  if (!loop || !pipeline || !src || !img_freeze || !conv || !sink) {
    g_print ("Some element could not be created\n");
    return -1;
  }

  g_object_set (src, "location", argv[1], NULL); // plug in your file
name instead of argv[1] if needed

  gst_bin_add_many (GST_BIN (pipeline),
                    src,
                    dec,
                    img_freeze,
                    conv,
                    sink,  NULL);

  gst_element_link_many (src, dec, img_freeze, conv, sink, NULL);

  bus = gst_pipeline_get_bus (GST_PIPELINE (pipeline));
  gst_bus_add_watch (bus, bus_call, loop); // callback bus call -> see below
  gst_object_unref (bus);

  // Variant 1:
  // Will stop still image playing after 5 sec
  // g_timeout_add_seconds (5, (GSourceFunc) cb_end_stream, pipeline);
// callback cb_end_stream -> see below

  // Variant 2: also stops after 5 sec
  GstEvent *event = gst_event_new_seek (1.0,
                              GST_FORMAT_TIME,
                              GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH | GST_SEEK_FLAG_SEGMENT,
                              GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET, 0 * GST_SECOND,
                              GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET, 5 * GST_SECOND);

  gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_PLAYING);

  if (!gst_element_send_event(pipeline, event)) { // this will cause
...MESSAGE_SEGMENT_DONE in the callback
    g_print("failure to seek\n");
    return -1;
  }

  /* now run */
  g_main_loop_run (loop);

  /* finally clean up */
  gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_NULL);
  gst_object_unref (GST_OBJECT (pipeline));

  return 0;
}

gboolean cb_end_stream (GstElement *pipeline) {
  g_main_loop_quit(loop);
  return FALSE;
}

gboolean bus_call (GstBus  *bus, GstMessage *msg, gpointer  data) {
    GMainLoop *loop = (GMainLoop *) data;

    guint msg_type = GST_MESSAGE_TYPE (msg);

    if (msg_type & GST_MESSAGE_EOS) {
      g_print ("EOS message\n");
      g_main_loop_quit (loop);
    }

...

    if (msg_type & GST_MESSAGE_STATE_CHANGED) { // quite useful, for debugging
      g_print ("STATE CHANGED message, to state %d\n",
                GST_STATE(GST_MESSAGE_SRC(msg)));

      GstState old_state, new_state;

      gst_message_parse_state_changed (msg, &old_state, &new_state, NULL);
      g_print ("Element %s changed state from %s to %s.\n",
        GST_OBJECT_NAME (msg->src),
        gst_element_state_get_name (old_state),
        gst_element_state_get_name (new_state)); // I think you should
be more careful here to free ..._gets_
    }

...

    if (msg_type & GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_DONE) {
      g_print ("SEGMENT DONE message\n");
      g_main_loop_quit (loop);
    }

...

    return TRUE;
}

I am not a specialist, but hope it helps. The docs are scarce on
examples, explanations, and use cases. It also took me some to me to
figure.
