I also tried to completely re-initialize the pipeline and faced very a strange behavior. When I unref my pipeline and do the re-init afterwards, I can see the old frames. But when I do not unref the pipeline but simply "override" my references, only the new frames are displayed (as desired). I've attached my simplified source code below, maybe you see what's wrong. Case (1) shows the working code (even if it leaks) case (2) does not work. void Streamer::init() { auto pipeline = gst_pipeline_new( "pipeline" ); auto src = gst_element_factory_make( "udpsrc", "source" ); auto depay = gst_element_factory_make( "rtph264depay", "depay" ); auto dec = gst_element_factory_make( "avdec_h264", "dec" ); auto convert = gst_element_factory_make( "videoconvert", "convert" ); auto upload = gst_element_factory_make( "glupload", "upload" ); auto sink = gst_element_factory_make( "appsink", "sink" ); gst_app_sink_set_drop( sink, true ); gst_app_sink_set_max_buffers( sink, 1 ); gst_app_sink_set_emit_signals( sink, true ); GstAppSinkCallbacks callbacks = { nullptr, newPreroll, newSample, nullptr }; gst_app_sink_set_callbacks( m_data->sink, &callbacks, this, nullptr ); gst_bin_add_many( GST_BIN( pipeline), src, depay, dec, convert, upload, sink, NULL ); if( !gst_element_link_many( src, depay, dec, convert, NULL ) ) { return nullptr; } GstCaps* caps = gst_caps_from_string( "video/x-raw, format=BGR" ); if( !gst_element_link_filtered( convert, upload, caps ) ) { return nullptr; } if( !gst_element_link( upload, sink ) { return nullptr; } // Do further config ... // Inject gl context m_pipeline = pipeline; gst_element_set_state( m_pipeline, GST_STATE_PLAYING ); } void Streamer::restart() { // Working (1) gst_element_set_state( m_pipeline, GST_STATE_NULL ); init(); // Not working (2) gst_element_set_state( m_pipeline, GST_STATE_NULL ); gst_unref_object(m_pipeline); init(); } Is it sufficient to call gst_unref_object ( m_pipeline ) in order to completely free all sources, or is it necessary to unref all elements added to the pipeline manually? I'm not completely sure about this point. As you can see above, I'm using static names for the GstElements added to the pipeline. In the doc it says that if no name is given, a unique name is generated. Is the name used internally for any referencing or sth like that? I really thought, that if I create a new pipeline no frames will be buffered at all.
