How to convert timestamp in human readable form.

[Matteo Valdina]

Hi,
Give a look to the GST_TIME_FORMAT.

https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/gstreamer-GstInfo.html#GST-TIME-FORMAT:CAPS

This is a simple way to print a GstClockTime to something readable.

Best
Matteo
