Oh, I see. Was searching in stackoverflow and different blogs that said
identity was able to provide the timestamp for the video stream.

I meant when i used do-timestamps=true in the gstreamer pipeline, didn't see
anything related to time apart from when i exited the video stream and there
is an output on the command line that says :

Execution ended after 0:00:05.348379438

It seems as though it provides the timestamp for the entire time the stream
has been running.
