[gst-devel] decodebin vs playbin

[Kapil Agrawal]

Rodney,

Your pipeline is missing queue,
So it will look like,

gst-launch -vvv --gst-debug-level=2 filesrc location=<path_to_mp4_file> !
decodebin2 name=decoder decoder. ! queue ! audioconvert ! audioresample !
osssink decoder. ! queue ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink
