Sample application to show the problem

After setting up the pipeline to play from decklinksrc element (Blackmagic Intensity Pro capture card) and setting state to PLAYING, the output window (autovideosink) shows up and I see the grabbed video.

Problem 1:
When I switch the state to NULL and then back to PLAYING output window is closed, as expected - but it is not reopened upon switch to PLAYING state.

Problem 2:
Further switching of states causes coredump.
Sometimes there is also printed a complaint about double free.

The usual backtrace looks like this:

I attach a simple application to show the problem.
The (not attached) CGSTMainloopThread only initializes gstreamer, creates main loop object and enters the loop.

Please test if this is still a problem with latest GIT master. The decklink elements were rewritten.
Comment 2 Krzysztof Borowczyk 2015-01-13 11:07:05 UTC 
I tried to recompile with the current master today, but I'm having problems with plugins-good:

Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2015-01-13 11:16:42 UTC 
Run git clean -x -d -f; ./autogen.sh in gst-plugins-good (and if it still doesn't work, please post on the mailing list or pop into our irc channel, it doesn't really belong into this bug report)
Comment 4 Krzysztof Borowczyk 2015-01-13 12:54:02 UTC 
(Thanks for the bit with git clean, it helped (and sorry for asking here))

As for the bug, seems that the rewrite fixed the problem. I can switch back and forth between NULL/PAUSED/PLAYING states without problems.
