[gst-devel] decodebin caps troubles with rtspsrc source

[Nick Haddad]

Nicolas,

Getting the capabilities of an incoming pad will give you a set of  
possible pad templates that you can use when making decisions about  
how to do connect the decode bin output pads to other elements.

Instead, I think you want to use the gst_pad_get_negotiated_caps on  
the "sink" pad of your fakesink.  Do this after you've already linked  
the decodebin's pad to your fakesink so that the sink pads caps are  
negotiated properly.  You should get fixed caps at this point, with  
width, height values that don't contain ranges.
