title: gstreamer dropping frames: ARM processor
body: <p>I am running a 9 sec video on my NVIDIA Tegra jetson TK1 board using gstreamer as:</p>
  
  <pre><code> gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///home/ubuntu/widescreen.avi
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I notice this drops a lot of frames and gstreamer prints these messages:</p>
  
  <pre><code>WARNING: from element /GstPlayBin:playbin0/GstBin:vbin/GstAutoVideoSink:videosink/GstXvImageSink:videosink-actual-sink-xvimage: A lot of buffers are being dropped.
  
  Additional debug info:
  gstbasesink.c(2875): gst_base_sink_is_too_late (): /GstPlayBin:playbin0/GstBin:vbin/GstAutoVideoSink:videosink/GstXvImageSink:videosink-actual-sink-xvimage:
  
   There may be a timestamping problem, or this computer is too slow.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I ran <code>top</code> while executing this and indeed <code>gstreamer</code> is taking 95% of the CPU. 
  Now, when i play this video through the default media player, it plays completely fine and without any lag. I was wondering if anyone knows what may be the reason that gstreamer is unable to play it properly. I am new to gstreamer and wondering if I can do something to alleviate this.</p>
