This part of the documentation is for the new tcp elements:
- tcpclientsrc
- tcpclientsink
- tcpserversrc
- tcpserversink
TESTS
-----
Use these tests to test functionality of the various tcp plugins
* server: nc -l -p 3000
client: nc localhost 3000
everything you type in the server is shown on the client
everything you type in the client is shown on the server
* server: nc -l -p 3000
client: gst-launch tcpclientsrc protocol=none port=3000 ! fdsink fd=2
everything you type in the server is shown on the client
* server: nc -l -p 3000
client: gst-launch fdsrc fd=1 ! tcpclientsink protocol=none port=3000
everything you type in the client is shown on the server
* server: gst-launch tcpserversrc protocol=none port=3000 ! fdsink fd=2
client: gst-launch fdsrc fd=1 ! tcpclientsink protocol=none port=3000
* server: gst-launch fdsrc fd=1 ! tcpserversink protocol=none port=3000
client: gst-launch tcpclientsrc protocol=none port=3000 ! fdsink fd=2
-> Received first buffer without caps set
TODO
----
- implement DNS resolution
multifdsink
-----------
- operation:
- client fd gets added when "add" signal gets emitted on multifdsink
- signal handler creates a GstTCPClient structure, adds it to ->clients,
and adds the fd to ->fd_hash, then emits client-added
- client
- when a buffer comes in:
- the _render vmethod puts the buffer on the global queue
- and increases bytes_to_serve
- (currently it sets streamheaders, but since this is treated globally
this is wrong - clients can be at different positions in the stream)
- when a client issues a write (ie requests data):
- when using GDP, if no caps sent yet, send caps first, then set caps_sent
- if streamheader buffers, and we haven't sent yet to this client,
send current streamheader buffers, then set streamheader_sent
- send out buffers
