Well, I have a (what I think) pretty simple use case here, but without any gstreamer involved: I have a software video sip phone (based on pjsip). I would like to automatically initiate a video call when there is a certain amount of motion detected. Both software packages access a v4l device. I have no idea how to change that to a gstreamer pipe. Ma guess is that it will probably be very difficult :-( Michael Am 06.02.2013 15:51, schrieb Devin Heitmueller: > On Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 9:42 AM, Neuer User <auslands-kv@xxxxxx> wrote: >> If it is not possible to have two applications access the same video >> stream, that is pretty detrimentical to quite a lot of use cases, e.g.: >> >> a.)
