    Description

      With Qt 6.2 or newer, the Video element fails to create the GStreamer pipeline assigned to the source property.

          Video
          {
              Component.onCompleted: play()        anchors.fill: parent
              source: "gst-pipeline: udpsrc port=5004 caps=application/x-rtp,media=video,clock-rate=90000,encoding-name=JPEG ! decodebin ! queue ! autovideosink"
          }
      

      With GST_DEBUG=2, I see the following GStreamer and Qt messages:

      The Video element from Qt 5.15 has no problems to create the pipeline successfully. I can also display the video stream from an Ethernet camera. So, it looks very much like a regression.

      I have attached the source code for a simple video app. The first version in the directory src-5 builds and runs against Qt 5.15, the second version in src-6 against Qt 6.2 or newer. The first works, the second doesn't.
