I try but this don't work i change the sink element (udpsink) for other (tcpserversink or even glimagesink ) and nothing happen...

It's this right???

Thanks in advance

could you please tell why this check is required?

if (ms > 1.0/20.0)

could you please tell why this check is required?

He's targeting 20fps. So if elapsed time is over 1/20 of a second, handle a new buffer.

Any change you would add a BSD or public domain license?
