I've had quite a few issues with typefind and IP cameras myself... To test things as they would run in totem, you can use a gst-launch with "playbin2 uri=..." as the pipeline. That way you can easily set debug options etc. In this case, you could try gst-launch -v -m --gst-debug=typefindfunctions:5 \ playbin2 uri=http://192.168.1.253/nphMotionjpeg?resolution=320x240 Unfortunately, most typefindfunctions (including jpeg) don't give any debug output, so that won't help much... In fact, jpeg_type_find just looks at the first two bytes and checks if it's a start marker 0xff 0xd8. So, you can capture your camera's output and check what's in there: gst-launch gnomevfssrc \ location=http://192.168.1.253/nphMotionjpeg?resolution=320x240 ! \ filesink location=/tmp/foo Good luck!
