Well the error type disappeared, it was due where the place the gst_controller_set_control_source (ctrl, "position", GST_CONTROL_SOURCE (csource)) sentence was. The first time I did it according the documentation, at the end of the value sets of the control source. It seems it isn't the right place, I changed the sentences right after creating the controller, it seems it works. Hope it helps someone else. In this way: GstInterpolationControlSource * csource = gst_interpolation_control_source_new(); gst_interpolation_control_source_set_interpolation_mode(csource,GST_INTERPOLATE_LINEAR); gst_controller_set_control_source (ctrl, "position", GST_CONTROL_SOURCE (csource)); (Now the runtime is another! but one less at least) Specially thanks to Stefan!
