Video File with Gstreamer Ingestor (Multifilesrc)

Note:

  • If you don’t want the video to loop with the multifilesrc element, set the loop property to FALSE.

  • If one wants to play the video for specific number of iterations, set the loop property to FALSE and the 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 the 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.

  • If general stream errors with multifilesrc element are observed when certain video files are used, then transcode the video file to H264 video with .avi container format to ensure compatibility.
