[gst-devel] appsrc and appsink elements

[Andres Colubri]

Hello,

I have tried to use appsrc, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be 
recognized (I'm using gst-plugins-bad 0.10.8 on ubuntu 0.8.10) by 
gstreamer. For example, when I run the appsrc_ex example, I get an 
assertion error right after
app->src = gst_element_factory_make("appsrc", NULL);
so seems that app->src is null

Also, gst-inspect doesn't find neither appsrc nor appsink.

Thanks
Andres
