Hi,
   the patch seems good.

Not sure what I did with my system but I'm not able to test it very
well. The system keeps complaining about some issue with the format.
I wanted to add a patch for compatibility in case the server is
sending some profile not supported by H/W decoder (mainly saving first
encoded frames till an error or an output frame and try with S/W
decoder) but I got stuck with my system errors.

In the meantime I manage to find the memory issue you had that caused:

(remote-viewer:2272): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 18:30:37.263:
Trying to dispose object "appsink26", but it still has a parent "pipeline28".
You need to let the parent manage the object instead of unreffing the
object directly.

The reason is due to a missing reference to the sink, I fixed it and
changed the order of free (reverse of allocations), see
