Description kapil 2009-09-30 06:35:30 UTC 
If I use 
gst-launch-0.10 mysrc .src_video ! fakesink -v works, 
but 
gst-launch-0.10 mysrc .video_src ! fakesink -v hangs, instead it should give error ?

in reality the element mysrc has a srcpad named as src_video.

This seems to be a bug in gst-launch

This is probably a bug in your mysrc element, which we clearly can't fix.

This pipeline errors out as you would expect:

gst-launch-0.10 fakesrc .video_src ! fakesink -v

Check the pad templates on your element - if you have a sometimes or request pad on your src that might produce a pad of this name, gst-launch would wait for the element to produce such a pad.
