Description Baby octopus 2016-10-26 04:50:59 UTC 
Splitmuxsink currently rotates the file index i.e., 0, 1 , 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3... and so on rather than incrementing monotonically. This can be added as a property
Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-10-26 09:15:40 UTC 
it does?
Comment 2 Baby octopus 2016-10-26 09:38:54 UTC 
No rolls over once max file is reached and rolls back to index 0
Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-10-26 09:46:00 UTC 
Interesting. I wonder if that's intentional or a bug. I would have expected it to simply delete old files but continue with the numbering. Jan?
Comment 4 Baby octopus 2016-10-26 10:00:26 UTC 
Is it by design because splitmuxsink will not have capability to delete files from sinks such as curlftpsink/curlhttpsink, hence rotate the same files?
Comment 5 Jan Schmidt 2016-10-26 11:19:33 UTC 
Correct, splitmuxsink has no knowledge of the actual storage - it just sets a location on a sink element. There's no API by which it could request file deletion.
Comment 6 Baby octopus 2016-10-26 12:02:49 UTC 
Understandable. It would be a good feature enhancement if it can be done, provided file deletion API is supported in future
Comment 7 Jan Schmidt 2016-10-26 12:17:52 UTC 
FWIW, you can use the format-location signal to manually set any pattern / sequence of filename you like, and the splitmuxsink-fragment-opened and splitmuxsink-fragment-closed bus messages to know when it starts/stops using a particular file.
