gstpngdec does not handle images if those are spread onto several buffers
Last modified: 2005-02-08 14:07:26 UTC
gst-launch filesrc location=test.png ! pngdec ! ... will not work because the filesrc will pass the image in small chunks to pngdec.
Created attachment 37042 [details] [review] Patch to make pngdec handle images split over several buffers This patch lets pngdec handle images split over several buffers (which is the case for example with "filesrc ! pngdec"). Should this functionality live in gstreamer/gstpad?
No, you should use multifilesrc...
I searched google for some examples or docs on multifilesrc but couldn't find any. Could you give me a hint? multifilesrc locations=test.png ! pngdec ! ... ?
You cannot use it in gst-launch, you need to write a small application (which you can easily do in python or so, no C required). See 'gst-inspect multifilesrc' for the property names and types (IIRC, it's a GList or gchars, each point to one file).
