Description nar6du14 2013-10-31 03:05:38 UTC 
hello, 
I'm trying to change the location of the filesink element to another location after setting its pipeline to a ready state but this failed with: 

WARNING **: Changing the `location' property on filesink when a file is open is not supported.


the only solution is:

1) setting the pipeline to a ready state

2) setting the filesink element to a NULL state

3) setting the filesink location to NULL

4) setting the pipeline state back to the PLAYING state again
Comment 1 nar6du14 2013-10-31 03:09:00 UTC 
some mistake in the 4) step 

4) setting again the filesink location property to the desired location a configure the pipeline to the PLAYING state

This is intentional and not a bug.
