Hi Tanmay,

Thank you for the patch.

Your mail client wrapped lines, which prevents the patch from being
applied with git-am. I recommend using git-send-email to send patches.
https://git-send-email.io/ provides clear and detailed instructions on
how to set it up (especially when using gmail).

Have you seen this actually crashing, or are you only speculating ? The
video node at the output of the pipeline should always be connected, so
I don't think media_pad_remote_pad_first() can ever return NULL here.

Same here, what makes you think this is possible ?
