change "location" of filesrc element without breaking tcpserversink connection

[Serhiy Stetskovych]

Thank you,
I have tried with state READY and thought it don't work, but problem wasn't
in connection. Looks like when file reaches end, gstreamer sends some end
information, or there is some gap between streams or something else.
Because connections still alive, but video didn't displays in browser, it
begin playing again after refresh(reconnect)
