From what I understand, you are asking autovideosink to play an encoded
stream. Autovideosink will accept only raw video. At least that's what
xvimagesink and ximagesink accept.

I'm not sure if input-selector can work with encoded video as well.

If you want to display the video, drop the h264enc from your pipeline.

And I don't know much about playbin2, but you probably want to drop
playbin2 from your pipeline as well. Maybe what you need is uridecodebin
or decodebin2.
