# splitmuxsrc

This element reads a set of input files created by the splitmuxsink element containing contiguous elementary streams split across multiple files.

This element is similar to splitfilesrc, except that it recombines the streams in each file part at the demuxed elementary level, rather than as a single larger bytestream.

## Example pipelines

     gst-launch-1.0 splitmuxsrc location=video*.mov ! decodebin ! xvimagesink

Demux each file part and output the video stream as one continuous stream

     gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri="splitmux://path/to/foo.mp4.*"

Play back a set of files created by splitmuxsink
