gstreamer "Internal data flow error" for videotestsrc

I am working on an app using gstreamer svgoverlay plugin. My hardware platform is AM335x starter kit and OS is Arago linux (ti provided). The gstreamer which is part of the root-fs does not have the svgoverlay plugin. So I replaced the gstreamer with packages from this repo.

A test pipline ("gst-launch-0.10 -v videotestsrc ! fbdevsink") worked without any issue in the original gstreamer. But with the new gstreamer, it fails with "Internal data flow error". This is the relevant section of the gstreamer debug output :

I am new to gstreamer, so I am not sure what this error means. Can someone help me out.

NB: I need to use "fbdevsink" because of this.

If you see a "streaming task paused, reason not-negotiated (-4)" then you've tried to link incompatible elements or some of the involved elements is not handling the caps correctly.

When using gst-launch, I would just do:

GST_DEBUG_DUMP_DOT_DIR=$PWD gst-launch-1.0 ...

and when it failed take the last generated *.dot file and render it

dot -Tsvg xxx.dot -o graph.svg

Open the svg and look at the connections and check where the caps are not negotiated. In your case I would get it is "fbdevsink".

Finally when posting logs, use GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 to have logs without color codes.
