gst-launch: how to resize the video screen and play

[Swamy]

Hi,

I would like to resize the video screen to height=400, width=700, x=0, y=40. Please tell me how to do it using the gst-launch.

I tried the following command but did not work for me.

gst-launch playbin2 uri=file://var/youtube.mp4 video-sink='mfw_isink disp-width=700 disp-height=400 axis-top=40 axis-left=0'

Please help.

Regards,

Swamy

Sorry for delay.

I tried to figure out if there is any missing framebuffer configuration but I was not able to find it.

I would suggest you to dig into mfw_v4lsink (or even mfw_isink) in order to see if there is any piece of code that would resize only one frame buffer.

For example, if mfw_v4lsink resize only fb0 and it´s hardcoded, and you use fb1. So needs to change it.

I hope someone else can point you a better approach.

[Swamy]

Yes, Even I copied the gplay binary and its related library built on customized IMX535 board to the IMX53QSB and it found to be working as shown by you.

But somehow the same stuff is not working in the custom board, it is resizing to 800x480...Is it because of the video or fb0 needs to be reconfigured somewhere else in the code to suit the changes?

How did you configured your new framebuffer device? On board file? (arch/arm/mach-mx5/your_board.c)

	0,},

};

The last one "MY_DIS" is my configuration..

My display size is 800x480(Main screen), when I click on the video I should display it with this configuration...height=400, width=700, x=0, y=40.

Did you find a solution to this problem ?

I am trying to resize to 320, 240 using this command

gst-launch v4l2src ! 'capture-height=240 capture-width=320' ! mfw_v4lsink

and its displaying on the full screen.

[daiane_angolini]

mfw_v4lsink default is full screen.

Please gst-inspect mfw_v4lsink in order to see how to control display size.

(and take a look on the command line I placed here: https://community.freescale.com/message/300759#300759)

[1;32m[--->FINALIZE v4l_sink

I tried the command

gst-launch v4l2src  ! mfw_v4lsink disp-width=320 disp-height=240

but my image still displays on full screen 800 *480

can you give me an example how i should edit the command to resize the image to 320*240

and also how should i use the crop elements, because when i try crop-top-by-pixel=240  i get an error in the pipeline

[daiane_angolini]

Please, try using the latest BSP.

If you are still not able to make get it working, please, start a new discussion (I think this one is starting to get messed)

If you fell like you can mention me or share it to me.

Thanks

[LeonardoSandova]

One more test: Try using the other Freescale video sink

VSALPHA=1; gst-launch v4l2src ! mfw_isink disp-width=320 disp-height=240

[jinuthomas]

Yes , this worked, I resorted to this after spending a lot of time with mfw_v4lsink.

I can continue my work , with isink so its ok. But for information sake, is the v4lsink not resizing because of a bug in the old bsp. I am using L2.6.35_11.09.01_ER_source

I tried to edit the plugin but failed to do so.

[daiane_angolini]

I used the following command line (11.09 BSP + mx53QSB) and I was able to resize and determinate where video area starts.

gst-launch playbin2 uri=file:///home/Ice_Age_Test_Video.mp4 video-sink="mfw_v4lsink disp-width=700  disp-height=400 axis-top=100 axis-left=100"

[daiane_angolini]

It´s for imx53qsb and 11.09?

What do you see with this command line?

[Swamy]

I am not using QSB. I am using IMX536 but it is customized to our project. The following will play the video but will not resize the video. Is something wrong in the command?

This is my output:

$ gst-launch filesrc location=/var/youtube.mp4 ! qtdemux ! queue max-size-time=0 ! mfw_vpudecoder ! mfw_v4lsink disp-width=700 disp-height=300

I will give it a try on my QSB. I´m looking for my VGA cable.
