Batch or offline processing, how to?

Hello!

Somewhat connected to this question, I wonder what is the recommended way to use Membrane for “offline or batch” (= as fast as possible and not following the pace of the music) processing.

Example use-cases:

  • loading a mp3, doing some analysis on it, and splitting it in parts, without having to wait the total duration of the mp3
  • applying effects via a custom filter, from a source file to a target file, without having to wait either etc.

Are there examples of doing that somewhere?

Happy to contribute something if not, once I’ve got something working fine.

Hi there, the pace of processing is ‘as fast as possible’ by default. The simplest example is copying a file to another location: membrane_file_plugin/examples/sink_and_source.exs at master · membraneframework/membrane_file_plugin · GitHub. If you plug an element that works in real-time, such as an audio player, it slows down the processing and other elements adjust to it automatically.
