Changing PIP Modes

A few changes to the executables firstly

I also made a few modifications to the way gst-switch is installed. The process puts a copy of gst-switch-srv and gst-switch-ui at /usr/local/bin. These are from the master branch of gst-switch. But, I needed these executables from the speaker-track branch. So I just copied these to the folder replacing the already placed ones. Thus, now I am able to shoot off gst-switch-srv (from the speaker-track branch) just by doing it in the terminal.

Changing PIPs

I have been testing the dbus connection so that it works properly. I concertrated mostly on changing PIP modes. For testing the modules that I made earlier were a LOT of help. It surely saved me the headache of starting gst-switch-srv along with 3 to 4 more processes to feed video input as well as to view the processes. My test script looks simple enough like this

In another terminal I am running my other script interacting with the gst-switch-srv module over dbus. I added a few screenshots to show these:
Firstly I start off my testing script which turns on the gst-switch-srv and adds some input test sources to it. The video output of the gst-switch is shown in the gst-launch windows in the left bottom corner. In the left terminal, I am running this script. This is the default output of gst-switch:

Now, I run my script which does the work of communicating messages over dbus. Setting Mode 0

Now, Mode 1

Ah, now Mode 2

Mode 3

And now back to Mode 0 :D

Things left

• As you can see the sources don't look pretty. This is evident from the first screenshot. This indicates that there is some problem in the pipelines feeding into the gst-switch-srv. For example videotestsrc pattern=10 looks like this:

  

  
  But actually or ideally it should be looking like this:
  
  

  

• Make an object structure out of this crude script which turns communicates over the dbus with the gst-switch.
