What is a way of detecting any buffer going through pipeline?

[killerrats]

I am connecting to a live source rtsp. If the rtsp server is disconnected how can you detect no more buffer and end the pipeline? I am currently using a g_timeout_add_seconds every second.

See GstPadProbe. You can add different types of probes to probe activity on the pad such as buffers, events, etc

Can you check if adding gst_bus_add_watch (GstBus *bus, GstMessage
*msg, gpointer data) and looking for GST_MESSAGE_EOS in
GST_MESSAGE_TYPE (msg) works for you.

Additional to what others said, there's also the watchdog element which
will post a custom message on the bus whenever there was no data after
a configurable amount of time.
