decodebin3: Handle streams without CAPS or TIME segment (!4492) · Merge requests · GStreamer / gstreamer · GitLab

Due to an influx of spam, we have had to impose restrictions on new accounts. Please see this wiki page for instructions on how to get full permissions. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Equinix is shutting down its operations with us on April 30, 2025. They have graciously supported us for almost 5 years, but all good things come to an end.

Given the time frame, it's going to be hard to make a smooth transition of the cluster to somewhere else (TBD). Please expect in the next months some hiccups in the service and probably at least a full week of downtime to transfer gitlab to a different place.

All help is appreciated.

Edward Hervey requested to merge bilboed/gstreamer:decodebin3-nocaps-notime into main Apr 26, 2023

decodebin3 will do its best to figure out whether a parsebin is required to process the incoming stream.

The problem is that for push-based stream it could happen that the stream would not provide any caps, resulting in nothing being linked internally.

Furthermore, there is the possibility that a stream with caps would not be using a TIME segment, which is required for multiqueue to properly work.

In order to fix those two issues, we force the usage of parsebin on push-based streams:

When the pad is linked, if upstream can't provide any caps
When we get a non-TIME segment

Fixes #2521 (closed)
