Useful when having a service that runs a GStreamer pipeline
or application in Google Cloud to avoid storing the inputs
and outputs in the running container or service. For example
when analyzing a video from a Google Cloud Storage bucket
and extracting images or converting the video and then uploading
the results into another Google Cloud Storage bucket.
- gssrc allows to read from a file located in Google Cloud
Storage and it supports seeking.
- gssink allows to write to a file located in Google Cloud
Storage. There are 2 modes, one similar to multifilesink and
the other similar to filesink.
Example:
gst-launch-1.0 gssrc location=gs://mybucket/videos/sample.mp4 ! decodebin ! glimagesink
gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=gs://mybucket/videos/sample.mp4
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=5 ! pngenc ! gssink object-name="img/img%05d.png" bucket-name="mybucket" next-file=buffer
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=sample.mp4 ! gssink object-name="videos/video.mp4" bucket-name="mybucket" next-file=none
When running locally simply set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS. But
when running in Google Cloud Run or Google Cloud Engine, just set the
"service-account-email" property on each element.
