[Linphone-developers] Inqueue - Outqueue filter

[Raseel Bhagat]

Hi, 

I am writing a simple filter which will basically take data from the input queues, copy it to an output queue buffer.
I figure this was the best step, before writing a full fledged filter.

It looks something like this when used in the "echo" test application :
MSAlsaRead --> MyFilter --> MSAlsaWrite

The filter's process looks something like this :
mblk_t *im, *om;
while((im=ms_queue_get(f->inputs[0]))!=NULL){
        len = im->b_wptr - im->b_rptr;
        om = allocb(len, 0);
        memcpy(om->b_wptr, im->b_rptr, len);
        om->b_wptr += len;
        if (om!=NULL) ms_queue_put(f->outputs[0],om);
}

This works perfectly well and we can hear the echo clearly.
It even works with the "ring" application.

Now, I wrote a video graph as follows :
MSV4L2Capture --> MSPixConv --> MSSizeConv --> MSTheoraEnc --> MSTheoraDec --> MSVideoOut
This shows me a video preview.

I try to slip in my simple filter as follows :
MSV4L2Capture --> MSPixConv --> MSSizeConv --> MyFilter --> MSVideoOut

But I just see the first 4 frames, that's about a fraction of a second's video and that's it.... it get's stuck.
Some debugging shows that run_graph() is still looping.

Any idea, what I am doing wrong ?
