When should I send a starting seek?

[amindfv at mailbox.org]

I've spent quite a lot of time attempting to debug this with no breakthrough. It may be that I'm missing something very obvious in the documentation, but it's not from lack of trying or RTFM-ing!

Below (and attached) is a smallish reproducer case, the smallest I can make it. It creates a pipeline successfully with "uridecodebin" but fails to with "nleurisource". Any help would be very appreciated!

Any help would be very appreciated!

Thanks,
Tom
