Re: playbin3, decodebin3: how to get information about unsupported streams

Hi Edward,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately this proposal seems not working in my case. The returned list in GST_MESSAGE_STREAMS_SELECTED is the same as the list from GST_MESSAGE_STREAM_COLLECTION. 

Is it possible that I have a special use case?
The multiplex is MKV with 
- video/x-h265, [...] width=(int)4096
- audio/mpeg...
My videodecoder is OMX decoder, in gstomx.conf it is restricted to " sink-template-caps=video/x-h265, width=(int)[0,3840],..." So the decoder does not fit for the stream.

In the messages I get:

But the resulting playbin pipeline is: see attachement

Do somebody have another idea, how to detect "missing" streams?

Thanks for any hint
