How to remove ghost pad from a bin and relink to the same bin

[Vivia Nikolaidou]

Hi,

When you say decodebin, is it a real decodebin, or your own bin where
you manually add the correct parser and decoder?

If it's a real decodebin, I think you don't need to remove it. Just
keep it there and let the new stream flow through it. When the
decodebin sees the new caps, it will automatically restructure itself
to contain the correct elements.

In any case, if you remove a bin from a pipeline and you're fairly
sure you won't need it anymore, you should unref it. However, after
unlinking it, the ghost pad which acts as the sink of the bigger bin
will remain there and you can reuse it with gst_ghost_pad_set_target.

Best regards,

Vivia
