Description Sebastien Petit 2011-09-08 16:52:33 UTC
Chainsawsink plugins that supports:

- Revision 0.10.15
- HLS (Apple HTTP Streaming), Live + VOD
- M3u8 creation
- TS segmentation with FFMpeg
- Tested on FreeBSD, compilation ok on Linux (but must be tested)
- Licence parts are probably wrong or mistake may be appear
- Silverlight muxing is still in development
Comment 1 Sebastien Petit 2011-09-08 16:58:55 UTC
tar.gz binary is too big.
Please found the code here:

Comment 2 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2011-09-09 10:52:42 UTC
Could you provide a git branch somewhere or "git format-patch" style patches?
How is the hls part different from the one in bug #654192?
Comment 3 Sebastien Petit 2011-09-09 12:28:16 UTC
Hi,

Sorry we don't use git here, just svn. It's a separate code from gst-plugins-bad, because we use it in production environment every day. How can we provide you the "git format-patch" ?

I don't know how our code is different from bug #654192, perhaps stability and more options on our plugin. Chainsawsink goal is to provide all kind of live format or segmented format, HLS, Silverlight and Adobe Live video streaming.

- HLS is running in production and is production ready.
- Silverlight is still in development, we hope to have a working code very soon (< 1 month)
- Flash Live video streaming format support is under discussion

If this code doesn't help the gstreamer team to enhance new formats compatibility, no problem, just close the bug report :-)

By using git ;) This would make reviewing easier and would also keep author information and everything.

I think it would be better to have separate elements for the different streaming formats. Does your plugin implement separate elements for them?
Also does your plugin really depend on ffmpeg?

Sebastien Petit, it would be great if you could answer Sebastians questions. Understanding your design decisions would be great.
Comment 6 Akhil Laddha 2012-01-13 06:16:13 UTC
Sebastien Petit, ping, can you please respond to earlier queries ?
Comment 7 Tobias Mueller 2012-05-06 23:28:47 UTC
hm. No answer from Sebastien :-\ Given that there is a patch lying around, I won't close, but it'd be handy if the GStreamer folks say, how to proceed from here. Are we going to close this bug and ignore the patch based on the lack of response?
Comment 8 Tobias Mueller 2012-11-24 12:09:47 UTC
So given the lack of response, I'd say this is an INCOMLPETE. Feel free to reopen though.
Comment 9 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-11-24 18:24:59 UTC
Please don't close bugs that contain code contributions or patches as incomplete, no matter how long there has been no response, thanks.
Comment 10 Tobias Mueller 2012-11-25 15:15:41 UTC
Please don't set them to NEEDINFO then if you don't care about the response.
Comment 11 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2013-08-23 11:19:43 UTC
What should we do here? Doesn't seem like the original reporter is going to respond, and also I don't know if we want to maintain such a large new piece of code without any help from the original authors.
Comment 12 David Schleef 2013-08-24 22:23:55 UTC
We already have ismlmux and hlssink that does everything this patch claims to do.  Closing.
