# Multiple outputs (tee)
|
||
|
||
The `tee` command allows audio & video streams to be sent to more than one place.
|
||
|
||
## Tee to two local video outputs
|
||
|
||
Here's a simple example that sends shows video test source twice (using `autovideosink`)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
# The two windows may overlay on top of each other
|
||
gst-launch-1.0 \
|
||
videotestsrc ! tee name=t \
|
||
t. ! queue ! videoconvert ! autovideosink \
|
||
t. ! queue ! videoconvert ! autovideosink
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Tee to two different outputs
|
||
|
||
Here's an example that sends video to both `autovideosink` and a TCP server (`tcpserversink`).
|
||
Note how `async=false` is required on both sinks, because the encoding step on the TCP branch takes longer, and so the timing will be different.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! \
|
||
decodebin ! tee name=t \
|
||
t. ! queue ! videoconvert ! autovideosink async=false \
|
||
t. ! queue ! x264enc ! mpegtsmux ! tcpserversink port=7001 host=127.0.0.1 recover-policy=keyframe sync-method=latest-keyframe async=false
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
However, as discussed [here](http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/tee-won-t-go-in-playing-state-td4680128.html), `async=false` can cause issues. Adding `tune=zerolatency` to the `x264enc` also resolves the issue, by telling the encoding step not to add a delay, and thus making its branch as quick as the `autovideosink` one.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! \
|
||
decodebin ! tee name=t \
|
||
t. ! queue ! videoconvert ! autovideosink \
|
||
t. ! queue ! x264enc tune=zerolatency ! mpegtsmux ! tcpserversink port=7001 host=127.0.0.1 recover-policy=keyframe sync-method=latest-keyframe
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or, if you'd rather not reduce the quality of x264 encoding, you can increase the queue size:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! \
|
||
decodebin ! tee name=t \
|
||
t. ! queue max-size-time=3000000000 ! videoconvert ! autovideosink \
|
||
t. ! queue ! x264enc ! mpegtsmux ! tcpserversink port=7001 host=127.0.0.1 recover-policy=keyframe sync-method=latest-keyframe
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Tee on inputs
|
||
|
||
You can also use `tee` in order to do multiple things with inputs. This example combines two audio visualisations:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=$SRC ! decodebin ! tee name=t ! \
|
||
queue ! audioconvert ! wavescope style=color-lines shade-amount=0x00080402 ! alpha alpha=0.5 ! \
|
||
videomixer name=m background=black ! videoconvert ! vertigotv ! autovideosink \
|
||
t. ! queue ! audioconvert ! spacescope style=color-lines shade-amount=0x00080402 ! alpha alpha=0.5 ! m. \
|
||
t. ! queue ! autoaudiosink
|
||
```
