Hi! I have tried various ways to get fallbacksrc/switch to work without success.
let switch = gst::ElementFactory::make("fallbackswitch").build().unwrap();
let fallbacksrc = gst::ElementFactory::make("fallbacksrc").build().unwrap();
fallbacksrc.set_property("uri", &"file:////Users/...../...///examples/src/bin/icon.png");
...
...
source1.link(&fallbacksrc).unwrap();
fallbacksrc.link(&switch).unwrap();
switch.link(&parser).unwrap();
Error:

source roughly like this:
videotestsrc is-live true ! caps ! x264enc ! h264parse ! rtph264pay
then put into bin with ghostpad
gst::GhostPad::with_target(&pay.static_pad("src").unwrap()).unwrap();
bin.add_pad(&srcpad).unwrap();
Seems like switch comes with the source. But still have issues implementing it.
After reading the available information the fallback only seem to images. But for stream is RTP packets fine?
There might be something wrong with the way I use ghostpad. But just in general some usuage advice on the fallbacksrc would be of great help!
