omxh264dec to appsink not working

Hi,

I’m trying to create the following pipeline:
filesrc → qtdemux → h264parse → omxh264dec → nvvidconv → appsink

But when I run the pipeline I get a “Error: Gstreamer encountered a general stream error.”. What confuses me is when I use gst-launch-1.0 to start a similar pipeline (xvimagesink instead of appsink) it works fine.

Here’s my code

#include <gst/gst.h>
#include <gst/app/gstappsink.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

static GstElement *pipeline;

static gboolean
bus_call (GstBus *bus, GstMessage *msg, gpointer data)
{
	/* Watches for messages on the pipeline bus. */
	
	GMainLoop *loop = (GMainLoop *) data;

	switch (GST_MESSAGE_TYPE (msg)) {
		
		case GST_MESSAGE_EOS: {
			g_main_loop_quit (loop);
			break;
		}
		
		case GST_MESSAGE_ERROR: {
			gchar  *debug;
			GError *error;

			gst_message_parse_error (msg, &error, &debug);
			g_free (debug);

			g_printerr ("Error: %s\n", error->message);
			g_error_free (error);

			g_main_loop_quit (loop);
			break;
		}
			
		default:
			break;
	}
	return TRUE;
}

static int
on_new_sample_from_sink (GstAppSink * elt)
{
	GstSample *sample;
	GstBuffer *buffer;
	GstMapInfo map;
	
	/* get the sample from appsink */
	sample = gst_app_sink_pull_sample(elt);
	buffer = gst_sample_get_buffer(sample);

	/* make a copy */
    if (gst_buffer_map (buffer, &map, GST_MAP_READ)) {
		printf("%ld\n", map.size);
		gst_buffer_unmap (buffer, &map);
    }
	/* we don't need the appsink sample anymore */
	gst_sample_unref (sample);
	
	return 0;
}

	if ( !src || !demux || !h264parse || !h264dec || !nvconv || !appsink )
	{
		printf("error\n");
		exit(0);
	}
