How to make v4l2src reload buffer in PAUSED state

[David Walter]

Thanks Nicolas.

I was trying to send the flush_start and flush_stop using the following but wasn’t having luck getting new images from v4l2src (num-buffers=1)

gst_element_send_event(GST_ELEMENT(pipeline), gst_new_event_flush_start());
gst_element_send_event(GST_ELEMENT(pipeline), gst_new_event_flush_stop(false));

Is this correct? Am I supposed to send this event to the pipeline object or the v4l2src object?
