splitmuxsrc: pattern-matching syntax inconsistent with other "multifile" elements
The splitmuxsrc
element uses glob-style pattern matching, so like:
myfiles*.mp4
Whereas other mutlifile
elements (like multifilesrc
) use a printf
-style of pattern-matching:
myfiles%04d.mp4
The splitmuxsrc
element also lacks the ability of multifilesrc
to specify start and stop indices.
Is there a reason for this inconsistency? It would be nice if splitmuxsrc
had the same syntax and capabilities as multifilesrc
.
And how come these elements don't allow filenames to be specified via regex via GLib's GRegex
utilities?
