Description

Split data to multiple pads. Branching the data flow is useful when e.g. capturing a video where the video is shown on the screen and also encoded and written to a file. Another example is playing music and hooking up a visualisation module.

One needs to use separate queue elements (or a multiqueue) in each branch to provide separate threads for each branch. Otherwise a blocked dataflow in one branch would stall the other branches.

Example launch line

1
 
gst-launch filesrc location=song.ogg ! decodebin2 ! tee name=t ! queue ! autoaudiosink t. ! queue ! audioconvert ! goom ! ffmpegcolorspace ! autovideosink
Play a song.ogg from local dir and render visualisations using the goom element.
