Trying to capture a YouTube Live stream into v4l2sink

[Jim Ruxton]

Thanks a lot Edward. I tried your suggestion. Unfortunately the stream 
freezes after a few frames. Here is the new pipeline. I replaced the 
v4l2sink with glimagesink for testing.

gst-launch-1.0 souphttpsrc is-live=true location="$(youtube-dl --get-url 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A)" ! decodebin ! videoconvert 
! "video/x-raw,format=YUY2,framerate=30/1" ! queue ! glimagesink

Thanks,

Jim
