[gst-devel] Playing RTSP with python-gstreamer

[Sandino Flores Moreno]

Some pads are created on demand, that's why you cannot connect some
elements in advance.

An easier approach is to use gst.parse_launch(pipeline_desc_string)

###<<
pipeline = gst.parse_launch("rtspsrc name=source latency=0 ! decodebin
! autovideosink")
source = pipeline.get_by_name("source")
source.props.location =  "rtsp://192.168.0.127/axis-media/media.amp"
