GStreamer: Play mpeg2

Question

I'm trying to play a local mpeg2 TS file with gstreamer with this:

gst-launch  filesrc location=open_season.mpg ! mpeg2dec ! xvimagesink

The first frame appears as big blocks of color and then stops. Any thoughts about what I'm doing wrong here? Does a -TS file need to be handled differently than this?

Here's the log:

$ gst-launch  filesrc location=open_season.mpg ! mpeg2dec ! xvimagesink
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ....

I think first you should first try to play the file with the help of playbin2. If you are able to play it then u should use decodebin2 ,debug its output and construct your pipeline accordingly.

The syntax for playbin2 is as follows :-

gst-launch playbin2 uri = file:///home/user1031040/Desktop/file.mpg

The syntax for decodebin2 is as follows:-

gst-launch filesrc location = file.mpg ! decodebin2 ! autovideosink
