I want to change the output/input resolution of my Webcam using gstreamer. for example i want to change the resultion from 800x600 to 640x480 Pixel. I cannot find the syntax in C for doing this. Can anyone help me please?
This code should display the video stream from the webcam:
#include <gst/gst.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
GstElement *pipeline, *source, *sink, *convert;
GstBus *bus;
GstMessage *msg;
GstStateChangeReturn ret;
/* Initialize GStreamer */
gst_init (&argc, &argv);
/* Create the elements */
source = gst_element_factory_make ("v4l2src", "source");
sink = gst_element_factory_make ("autovideosink", "sink");
convert =gst_element_factory_make("ffmpegcolorspace","convert");
/* Create the empty pipeline */
pipeline = gst_pipeline_new ("test-pipeline");
if (!pipeline || !source || !sink || !convert) {
g_printerr ("Not all elements could be created.\n");
return -1;
}
/*set der source*/
g_object_set (source, "device", "/dev/video0", NULL);
/* Build the pipeline */
gst_bin_add_many (GST_BIN (pipeline), source, sink, convert, NULL);
if (gst_element_link (convert, sink) != TRUE) {
g_printerr ("Elements could not be linked confert sink.\n");
gst_object_unref (pipeline);
return -1;
}
if (gst_element_link (source, convert) != TRUE) {
g_printerr ("Elements could not be linked source -convert.\n");
gst_object_unref (pipeline);
return -1;
}
/* Start playing */
ret = gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_PLAYING);
if (ret == GST_STATE_CHANGE_FAILURE) {
g_printerr ("Unable to set the pipeline to the playing state.\n");
gst_object_unref (pipeline);
return -1;
}
/* Wait until error or EOS */
bus = gst_element_get_bus (pipeline);
msg = gst_bus_timed_pop_filtered (bus, GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE, GST_MESSAGE_ERROR | GST_MESSAGE_EOS);
/* Parse message */
if (msg != NULL) {
GError *err;
gchar *debug_info;
switch (GST_MESSAGE_TYPE (msg)) {
case GST_MESSAGE_ERROR:
gst_message_parse_error (msg, &err, &debug_info);
g_printerr ("Error received from element %s: %s\n", GST_OBJECT_NAME (msg->src), err->message);
g_printerr ("Debugging information: %s\n", debug_info ? debug_info : "none");
g_clear_error (&err);
g_free (debug_info);
break;
case GST_MESSAGE_EOS:
g_print ("End-Of-Stream reached.\n");
break;
default:
/* We should not reach here because we only asked for ERRORs and EOS */
g_printerr ("Unexpected message received.\n");
break;
}
gst_message_unref (msg);
}
/* Free resources */
gst_object_unref (bus);
gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_NULL);
gst_object_unref (pipeline);
return 0;
}
Thanks man, you save my life. i desperatelly find a code to capture video0 using C++ code, anyway. did you solve your problem?? hope this attachment can help
