splovinghi mithro00:20
sploving I am interested in the GSoC project "Make gst-switch server scriptable via Python"00:21
splovingDoes this project mean that we add python bindings for gst-switch so that in python, we can use gst-switch? thx00:21

hyadeshello mithro-13:35
mithro-hey hyades13:36
mithro-did you have any questions13:36
hyadesi went through the document describing gst-switch13:36
hyadesit gave loads of info about the project13:36
hyadescan you tell what improvements can be planned as part of gsoc13:37
mithro-so you've looked at the issue list right?13:47
hyadesyeah13:48
mithro-anything on that take your fancy?13:49
hyadesregarding the python api13:50
hyadesdo you want a api on top of the C code13:50
mithro-so gst-switch UI talks dbus to the gst-switch server13:51
mithro-so the python API would be on top of dbus-python13:51
hyadescan you give an example to explain this13:52
hyadesmaybe some function13:52
mithro-so you understand how gst-switch is split into the UI and server parts?13:57
hyadesya13:59
hyadesthough havnt gone through the ui part yet13:59
hyadesthe srv part i went through the code14:00
mithro-so the server is selecting which audio and video streams to use14:07
mithro-we'd like to be able to do that from Python14:07
mithro-the server can also mix the video14:10
mithro-in picture-in-picture mode14:10
mithro-so being able to control that would be good too14:10
mithro-so you'd write a python library14:10
mithro-which talks over dbus and lets you do things like control the server14:11
mithro-one place this would be useful would be writing tests14:11
hyadesok14:12
hyadesso according to the diagram svg the user would be looking at the previews and then he would control the "composite" part using this api. The server will then mix according to the user's instructions. Is this correct?14:15
mithro-yes14:27
mithro-at the moment the UI lets you manually select which video/audio is being combined14:27
hyadesok got it14:28
hyadesand i am not able to launch the gst-switch in the non-testing mode.14:29
hyadesI am running gst-switch-srv and gst-switch-ui14:29
mithro-hyades, and what happens?14:29
hyadesand didnt specify any video sources14:30
hyadeswhere are they put in?14:30
hyades* i didnt14:30
hyadessuppose i want to add /dev/video0 and /dev/video114:32
hyadesor maybe videotestsrc14:33
