If a pipeline is created GstElement *pipeline = gst_pipeline_new (session_id); on my server whenever a user visits http://myurl.com/new?session_id=123&file_path=/vids/vid.mp4 (mp4 videos are streamed to a RTMP server), how can I use the name of the pipeline "123" to set the pipeline state to not playing when the user visits http://myurl.com/to_not_playin?session_id=123? Each visit to http://myurl.com/new launches gstreamer in a new thread (because my webserver is asynchronous and I want multiple users to use the platform) then the different elements/pads are created and linked.

Do keep in mind that tying a thread to each and every request effectively makes the maximum number of users equal to the number of threads your OS can spawn. See [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/344203/maximum-number-of-threads-per-process-in-linux) for a question concerning Linux. – Daniel Kamil Kozar Apr 11 '17 at 00:10

There is no way to get a pipeline by name generically in GStreamer, you should store the name -> pipeline map yourself if you need it.

I created a `GHashTable* my_hash_table = g_hash_table_new_full(g_str_hash, g_str_equal, g_free, (GDestroyNotify) g_object_unref);` and add the pipelines after I create them `g_hash_table_insert(my_hash_table, pipeline_name, pipeline)` then retrieve the one I want with `GstElement* pipeline = g_hash_table_lookup(my_hash_table, "pipeline name");` – Cheyenne Forbes Apr 11 '17 at 15:47

How to set a name on a GStreamer pipeline:
gst_element_set_name(pipeline, "gbxpipeline");
How to get the named pipeline in a message handler:
if (!strcmp("gbxpipeline", strcmp(GST_MESSAGE_SRC_NAME(msg))) {
// You've got your pipeline!
}
