GstInterpipe

The following table of contents offers all you need to know about GstInterpipe project.

Quick Overview

GstInterpipe is a RidgeRun open source GStreamer plug-in that enables pipeline buffers and events to flow between two or more independent pipelines. It consists of two elements: interpipesink and interpipesrc. The interpipesrc connects with an interpipesink, from which it receives buffers and events.

GstInterpipe is intended to reduce a big complex pipeline system into smaller and simpler independent pipelines. You can view and handle the independent pipelines as different blocks that can be controlled independently. Each pipeline change state, have element properties modified, and can connect or disconnect with other pipelines at runtime. GstInterpipe allows you to have multiple source and sink pipelines in an application. The connections between source pipelines and sink pipelines can dynamically change at runtime. Is like if you have a set of different pipes that you can plug and unplug between them at runtime, so the system changes its behaviour according to the pipe interconnection configuration.
