Gstreamer with multithread app (Qt)

[Matias Hernandez Arellano]

I continue with this... finally i don't get crash problems now...

this is the StreamThread :
Constructor:

 QString pipe_str = QString("appsrc name=\"appsrc\" caps=\"video/x-raw-rgb,width=320,height=240\" ! videoparse format=14 width=%1 height=%1 ! videorate "
                               " ! videoscale ! video/x-raw-rgb,width=320,height=240 "
                               " ! ffmpegcolorspace ! jpegenc "
                               " ! tcpserversink port=5000  ").arg(WIDTH,HEIGHT);
    this->pipeline = QGst::Parse::launch(pipe_str).dynamicCast<QGst::Pipeline>();
 this->m_src.setElement(this->pipeline->getElementByName("appsrc"));
    this->pipeline->setState(QGst::StatePlaying);
    this->m_src.setLive(true); //with this the application don't crash


The Loop of the Thread
 for(;;){
        Mat frame = this->ImageBuffer->getFrame();
        if(!this->m_src.element().isNull() && !frame.empty()){
            this->pipeline->setState(QGst::StatePlaying);
            QGst::BufferPtr buffer = QGst::Buffer::create(WIDTH*HEIGHT*3*sizeof(quint8*));
            quint8 *data = buffer->data();
            memcpy(data,frame.data,frame.elemSize());
            if(!buffer.isNull()){
                QGst::FlowReturn ret = this->m_src.pushBuffer(buffer);
                if(ret!=QGst::FlowOk)
                    qDebug()<<"Error";
            }
        }
    }


The applicaiton don't crash but if i try in other machine (or even the same) with this pipeline 
gst-launch tcpclientsrc host=127.0.0.1 port=5000 !  jpegdec ! queue ! video/x-raw-rgb,width=320,height=240 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! queue ! glimagesink sync=false

I can't get something.. the pipeline never goes
