Imagefreeze element does not change the buffer on GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH seek event

Submitted by Liene

Description

Even if the pipeline makes the seek with GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH, autovideosink receives from imagefreeze the same buffer as before. So obviously imagefreez does not change the buffer. When I make a query on position, i see that position is changed relevant to seek request.

Pipeline in use : filesrc location=/path/0.mkv ! matroskademux ! avdec_h264 ! imagefreeze name=frz ! videoconvert ! autovideosink;

Main steps in code :

gst_element_query_position (data->pipeline, GST_FORMAT_TIME, &position);

and

seek_event = gst_event_new_seek (data->rate, GST_FORMAT_TIME, (GstSeekFlags)(GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH),GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET, pos, GST_SEEK_TYPE_NONE, 0);

And console output with GST_DEBUG=3,imagefreeze*:6 reports:

Note that i tried some ways like changing target (pipeline, sink, imagefreeze) on which sink event applied. Also tested different versions like (GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH, GST_SEEK_FLAG_SEGMENT), but imagefreeze also fails to change the buffer.
