I'm using splitmuxsink
element to save videos based on size, I can use format-location
signal to set the next video name to be used for dumping video.
static gchararray
format_location_callback (GstElement * splitmux,
guint fragment_id,
gpointer udata)
{
static int i =0;
gchararray myarray = g_strdup_printf("myvid%d.mp4", i);
i += 1;
return myarray;
}
# add a callback signal
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (bin->sink), "format-location",
G_CALLBACK (format_location_callback), bin);
How do I get the current video name that's being dumped by the splitmuxsink
? I think that might be possible using the GstMessages, but I'm not sure how to get the message related to particular plugin.
In fact, when I use the DEBUG_MODE=4
, I can see the message that video name changed when the video split happens in splitmuxsink.
0:00:06.238114046 31488 0x55928d253d90 INFO splitmuxsink gstsplitmuxsink.c:2389:set_next_filename:<sink_sub_bin_sink1> Setting file to myvid0.mp4

I'm able to get video location using GstMessage
of type GST_MESSAGE_ELEMENT
by listening on the GstBus
. The splitmuxsink
has message with name splitmuxsink-fragment-opened
when video split takes place.
const gchar * location;
const GstStructure* s = gst_message_get_structure(message);
if (gst_structure_has_name(s, "splitmuxsink-fragment-opened"))
{
g_message ("get message: %s",
gst_structure_to_string (gst_message_get_structure(message)));
location = gst_structure_get_string(s, "location");
cout << location << endl;
}
break;
}
Output
** Message: 12:00:27.618: get message: splitmuxsink-fragment-opened, location=(string)myvid0.mp4, running-time=(guint64)1199530439;
