GES 1.14.3 -- Timeline does not play smoothly

[Thibault Saunier]

Hi,

This is likely related to
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/issues/310 which I
worked around in the 1.14 branch (soon to be 1.14.4?) in that commit:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-editing-services/commit/0f860fb1a37bfe29dd215630f1630900dedeec49.
Could you try with the current 1.14 branch (the patch is not on master
because we want to solve the root issue in there).

Regards,

Thibault

I see plenty of warnings in the logs/*.log file which I have saved off.  I wonder if those logs provide a clue about the problem that I'm facing.  I also saved off the pipeline graphs in the logs folder (including SVG files).
