Thanks Ralph. It works with following warning message. Trying to join task 0xb63dad38 from its thread would deadlock. You cannot change the state of an element from its streaming thread. Use g_idle_add() or post a GstMessage on the bus to schedule the state change from the main thread. Signal handler looks like: void about_to_finish_cb (GstElement * element, gpointer * uri) { g_print("Received about_to_finish..... change uri..\n"); gst_element_set_state (element, GST_STATE_READY); gchar* uri2 = (gchar*)uri; g_object_set (G_OBJECT (element), "uri",uri2, NULL); gst_element_set_state (element, GST_STATE_PLAYING); } Is there any clean way of implementing same on GStreamer version - 0.10.30?
