playibin2/souphttpsrc hangs when opening a uri

[sundararaj reel]

Hi all,

I create a playbin2 element. Change state to READY and set uri
property and change playbin2's state to PLAYING. I find my code hangs
here. Here is the GST_DEBUG=5 log:

If uri is not a stream, for example a local file, then playback is fine.




If I use gst-launch playbin2 uri=<URL> then playback is okay, except
for an error (displayed 3 times)

GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible
causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you
have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See
http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1:
Failed to get connection to session: /bin/dbus-launch terminated
abnormally with the following error: No protocol specified
Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.
)


Any hints on what is going wrong?
