(GStreamer) Can't get rtmpsink to open properly?

0

I've been learning GStreamer to manage and forward streams from one RTMP server to another. I've hit a roadblock when trying to replicate the tutorial found here, albeit without the data buffer. Whenever I run the program, it stops when I set the rtmpsink URL. It doesn't throw an error on that line or report that the pipeline couldn't start to ret, it just stops. The first part of the code is below

    GstElement* pipeline = nullptr;
    GstBus* bus = nullptr;
    GstMessage* msg = nullptr;
    GstStateChangeReturn ret;
    gboolean terminate = FALSE;
    GstElement* source, *sink, *mux;

    gst_init(&arg, &argv);


    // Create Elements
    source = gst_element_factory_make("rtmpsrc","source");
    sink = gst_element_factory_make("rtmpsink","sink");
    mux = gst_element_factory_make("flvmux", "mux");

    pipeline = gst_pipeline_new("test-pipeline");

    // add items to bin and 
    gst_bin_add_many(GST_BIN(pipeline), source, mux, sink, NULL);
    if (!gst_element_link_many(source, mux, sink, NULL)) {
        g_printerr("oh no");
        gst_object_unref(pipeline);
        return -1;
    }

    g_object_set(source, "location", "rtmp://localhost/live/Stream-A");

    // Here is where the code stops
    g_object_set(sink, "location", "rtmp://localhost/live/Stream-B");

    ret = gst_element_set_state(pipeline, GST_STATE_PLAYING);
    if (ret == GST_STATE_CHANGE_FAILURE) {
        g_printerr("Unable to set the pipeline to the playing state.\n");
        gst_object_unref(pipeline);
        return -1;
    }

I've looked for other questions about rtmpsink, most of the answers said to use flvmux to format the audio and video properly.

Is there something I'm missing in the set call? Should I use a different sink?

Update 1 After a bit more digging, I've realized that I was debugging the wrong way. After using VS correctly, I ran into the following error:

Exception thrown at 0x00007FF9FC2B1C3C (vcruntime140.dll)
in gstream_switch.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 
0x0000000000000000

So it looks like this is just a case of referencing unallocated memory. I haven't found the answer, so I'm not marking this answered yet. Looking at other posts, my guess is that maybe I'm not using debugging libraries/variables, but I don't know.

g_object_set() needs to end with a NULL parameter to indicate an end as you can set multiple parameters with one call.

Try:

g_object_set(source, "location", "rtmp://localhost/live/Stream-A", NULL);
g_object_set(sink, "location", "rtmp://localhost/live/Stream-B", NULL);
