Pipeline debug dump. Debug level 4

Hi all,

I am using hlssink to stream hls streams to android and Apple devices. 
Using following pipeline to publish hls stream.

gst-launch filesrc location=input.mp4 ! decodebin ! x264enc key-int-max=60 key-int-min=60 bframes=0 ! video/x-h264,stream-format=byte-stream ! h264parse ! mpegtsmux ! hlssink playlist-root=/var/www/html/streams/public/hls target-duration=5 --gst-debug=h264parse:4

I faced issue when input to h264parser is byte-format stream. 

My observations are as follows.
- h264parser is dropping P frames of the first GOP of the HLS chunk.
- h264parser is looking for SPS and PPS after IDR frame. Generally SPS and PPS NALs comes before IDR frame.

Additional infoL:
- If input to h264parser is avc-stream format this behavior is not seen and output is correct.
- I am using GStreamer 1.2.2 for this experiment. 

h264parser dumps following info before dumping it. Please find detailed logs in attachment.
 
INFO   gsth264parse.c:963:gst_h264_parse_handle_frame:<h264parse0> no SPS/PPS yet, nal Type: 9 AU delimiter, Size: 2 will be dropped
INFO   gsth264parse.c:963:gst_h264_parse_handle_frame:<h264parse0> no SPS/PPS yet, nal Type: 6 SEI, Size: 7 will be dropped
