Comment 2 anujm 2018-02-24 13:28:55 UTC 
The attached patch uses the error propagated by GstPlayer. The error message is a bit verbose because GstPlayer sends the full message with debug message concatenated as well. 

If there's a gst API that can help split this in a more meaningful way, please let me know and I'd be happy to make the change and test.
Comment 3 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2018-02-25 09:43:43 UTC 
The idea would be to provide a more useful error type than the current flat string error. So that use cases like the missing-plugin API can be covered (or maybe that should be a different kind of message instead? it's not always a fatal error).
