Appsrc webrtcsink example

I am new to gstreamer and I am trying to evaluate it for a project that
streams video to web browsers.

I can run the video test src example using gst-launch and that works just
fine. What I am having some trouble with is modifying the example to send
raw video frames via appsrc. The modified example runs with playbin and I
can see my test video. When the sink is webrtcsink, it runs without
complaining, but the signaling server is never contacted based on the logs
I see. Is there some configuration I am missing?

    raw[i] = value;
