Below is what I got out of gdb. I can see that it shows I went into capsfilter_set_property - but then goes into debug stuff. Is there something wrong with what I am trying to set? (It seemed OK from the command line as part of gst-launch.) <div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-western"> <div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"> <div>[ian@localhost GSTstuff]$ gdb --core=core.2517 ./SBCRecord GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora (7.5.1-32.fc18) Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Try something like this: gchar caps_value[] = "your value goes here"; and then g_object_set (G_OBJECT (vcapsfilter), "caps", caps_value, NULL); That's just my guess as OTH passing a literal value should result in a pointer pointing to some location in the DATA section which should be fine. Hm... To find out what actually happened use: gdb --core=<core file> <your app> and then in GDB: bt If you don't actually get a core file, use (before you run your crashing app): ulimit -c unlimited HTH, Kris On 05/01/13 09:12, Ian Davidson wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">I am trying to write a GStreamer app where I use a caps filter. I have vcapsfilter = gst_element_factory_make ("capsfilter", "vid-caps"); which appears to have been successful. Then I tried g_object_set (G_OBJECT (vcapsfilter), "caps", "video/x-raw,format=(string)I420,width=320,height=240,framerate=(fraction)25/1", NULL); When my program comes to execute that line I get a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" message. I suspect that I must be doing something wrong <grin>, but I don't know what I should be doing. I have tried to wind up the debug level to 9 but absolutely nothing gets logged.
