QtGstreamer, multiudpsink - how to add clients?

BjornW

Hi!

I have previously setup a gstreamer pipeline using an udpsink. This has worked fine. Now I want to change this pipeline to instead use a multiudpsink and to that sink I want to dynamically add and remove clients as they show up (I have a tcp session setup in parallel with the stream).

My pipeline is setup as follows:

auto spBin = QGst::Bin::fromDescription("autovideosrc ! videoconvert ! capsfilter caps=video/x-raw,width=(int)320,height=(int)240 ! videoconvert ! rtpvrawpay ! multiudpsink name=out_sink");
...
auto spPipeline = QGst::Pipeline::create();
spPipeline->add(spBin);
...

Then I connect some signal notifications:

...
spPipeline->bus()->addSignalWatch();
QGlib::connect(spPipeline->bus(), "message", this, &VideoControl::onBusMessage);

auto spSink = spPipeline->getElementByName("out_sink");
QGlib::connect(spSink, "client-added", this, &VideoControl::onClientAdded);

auto spSinkPad = spSink->getStaticPad("sink");
QGlib::connect(spSinkPad, "notify::caps", this, &VideoControl::onSinkCapsChanged);
...

Finally I start the pipeline:

m_spPipeline->setState(QGst::StatePlaying);

When doing so I get a callback on VideoControl::onBusMessage telling me that the pipeline is now in StatePlaying. That is good, I guess?

In my previous implemntation (udpsink with single reciever) I got a callback to onSinkCapsChanged as soon as a client showed up, at which point i sent those caps to the client so that it could start playback using the correct format. Now I have not been able to trigger onSinkCapsChanged.

I have tried setting the clients property. That did give me a callback on onClientAdded but onSinkCapsChanged is never called.

The gstreamer docs mention some add and remove signals. How do I call them? I'm struggling to find good documentation / examples of QtGstreamer.

I would be grateful for any advice :-)

Well, turns out it was only me being stupid. The caps were there all along, I just failed to pass them on to the client after I changed the interface. That's what happens when you code at 2 am :)

Then please mark the topic as solved. thx

I did mark it it as solved the moment I wrote my comment :(

There seems to be some caching issues. Don't worry it will appear as solved :-)
