Troubleshooting gst-launch freezes/hangs - how?

[Graham Leggett]

Hi all,

I have a gstreamer pipeline that transcodes mpeg2 to HLS, and so far it works fine - for a few hours. Then it stops dead, no warnings, no errors.

How do I troubleshoot this?

Obviously with the problem only occurring once every few hours fiddling with the pipeline and hoping the best will take forever. Is there a way to introspect the pipeline somehow while the pipeline is running to see which element is stuck?

Regards,
Graham
