GStreamer Pipeline Frame Drop Issue (GStreamer 1.24.5)

Hi,

Issue:

I am using a GStreamer pipeline to receive an H.264 video stream over UDP and process it. The pipeline has two output branches:

  1. Recorded Output: The stream is recorded using splitmuxsink, which works smoothly without any frame drops.
  2. Live Processing Output: The decoded frames are collected through an intermediate processing stage (frame_collector, which replaces my internal element). Here, the video appears stuck, and frames do not flow smoothly.

Pipeline -

udpsrc address=172.133.0.1 port=22011 timeout=300000000000 do-timestamp=true !  
watchdog timeout=90000 ! queue max-size-time=10000000000 ! identity sync=true !  
tsparse set-timestamps=true ! tsdemux name=demux

splitmuxsink name=mp4mux max-size-time=60000000000 max-size-bytes=0 location=/tmp/record_repo/stream_  

In GStreamer 1.16.2, this pipeline ran without issues, but in GStreamer 1.24.5, I observe the following issue:

WARN h264decoder gsth264decoder.c:980:gst_h264_decoder_handle_frame_num_gap:<vah264dec0> 
Invalid frame num 28, maybe frame drop

Any suggestions to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated!
