I have been following many examples about pushing an image into a Gstreamer pipeline but still I can't make my code work.
Any suggestion (beside telling me to try with Gstreamer1.0 instead of 0.10) will be very appreciated. I want to understand what is wrong in the following script that feeds an appsrc element with a jpeg image. Later I will use the same code to feed openCv images that I obtain from my camera but first I want to understand the basics by making this simple example work.
