Unable to set the pipeline to the playing state ...

Hi,

Please help me find a solution to this issue:

  • I have YUV data file as input and I should output H264 file, using hardware encoding.
  • I should use c/c++ to write my program.
  • I have already done the following line command and I obtain the h264 as output and I I have succeeded in playing it using vlc.
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc blocksize=345600 location=Basketball.yuv ! 'video/x-raw, width=(int)640, height=(int)360, format=(string)I420, framerate=(fraction)25/1' ! omxh264enc ! 'video/x-h264, stream-format=(string)byte-stream' ! filesink location=results_block_size_345600.h264

-So now I should convert this command line to a code and replace the filesrc by an appsrc, but I obtain error when executing it :

//gcc -Wall $(pkg-config --cflags gstreamer-1.0) YUV_to_H264.c -o yuvtoh264 $(pkg-config --libs gstreamer-1.0) -lgstapp-1.0
