RTP Depay Element Caps Negotation

[Chuck Crisler]

I think that (usually) demuxers and depayloaders have dynamic pads, so the
caps aren't known until after a buffer has been parsed and identified. You
need to register for the 'pad-added' signal. At that time the caps are
known/available and you can do whatever you need to do.

register:
      // Connect the callback function to the demuxer to listen for the pad
creation.
      g_signal_connect(demuxer_, "pad-added", G_CALLBACK(newpad_Callback),
(gpointer)this);


callback:
void Pipeline::newpad_Callback(GstElement *pElement, GstPad *pPad, gpointer
data)
{
    gchar *PadName = gst_pad_get_name(pPad);
    gchar *ElementName = gst_element_get_name(pElement);
    GST_DEBUG("Element %s created pad: %s", ElementName, PadName);
    g_free(ElementName);
    g_free(PadName);

You can query the pad for caps and then react accordingly.This is
documented in several places. Use google.
