how to create proper HLS pipeline

[Chris Wine]

Hi Andres,

I believe hlssink takes an mpeg transport stream, so you don't need to have
the tsdemux element in there unless you need to do something else to the
streams before remuxing them and sending them to hlssink. So maybe just
"udpsrc ! hlssink" (with properties of course) will give you want you're
looking for.

For making sure the caps are correct, you should just be able to set the
"caps" property on udpsrc:
udpsrc caps="video/mpegts,systemstream=true"

If you already have separate audio and video streams, I'd use hlssink2
which does the mpegts muxing internally.
