error "buffer 0 was not queued, this indicate a driver bug"

A gstreame pipeline involving a video test source and two loopback devices prints error message "buffer 0 was not queued, this indicate a driver bug" to my tmux terminal.

Nothing prints to this tmux terminal until I switch focus to another window; when I do this error message starts printing apparently endlessly...

It keeps repeating until I switch focus back and hit ^C

Thank you.

I am writing my first gstreamer application and I was getting this same error. The pipeline consists of appsrc, videoconvert, and v42lsink.

The error went away when I set is-live to true for the appsrc.

Thank you. I can't confirm either way because I no longer have that video hardware at my disposal.

Hi @step- and @cout ,
this could be a hardware issue, check this link.
