Video File with gstreamer ingestor (multifilesrc)

NOTE:

  • In case one does not want to loop the video with multifilesrc element then set the loop property to FALSE

  • In case one wants to play the video for specific number of iterations set the loop property to FALSE and stop-index property to the number of iteration starting with 0 which would play it once. Setting the loop property to TRUE will override the stop-index property.

  • The loop property of multifilesrc plugin does not support video files of MP4 format. Hence MP4 video files will not loop and the recommendation is to transcode the video file to AVI format.

  • In case one notices general stream error with multifilesrc element when certain video files are used then transcode the video file to H264 video with .avi container format to ensure the compatibity of the format of the video file.
