Description Daniel F 2018-04-24 08:58:38 UTC

I am trying to bind udpsink to local IPv4 address, but for some reason this address is treated as an IPv6 one, and udpsink complains about incorrect address family.

gst-launch-1.0 -v udpsink bind-address="192.168.100.20"
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause.
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstUDPSink:udpsink0: Could not get/set settings from/on resource.
Additional debug info:
gstmultiudpsink.c(1286): gst_multiudpsink_configure_client (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstUDPSink:udpsink0:
Invalid address family (got 10)
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...

I have CentOS 7.4 64-bit.

Note: I wanted to create udpsink first and bind it to local ip/port. Remote ip/port I would set later, after receiving SDP from remote party.
