I am really new to GStreamer and DeepStream. I have a pipeline created based on deepstream-test1. This is the order in which the elements appeared:
filesrc (an h264) -> h264parse -> nvv4l2decoder -> nvstreammux -> nvinfer -> nvvideoconvert -> nvdsosd -> nvegltransform -> nveglglessink
This works fine as intended. Heres the code:

But whenever i try to replace nvegltransform -> nveglglessink of the pipeline with ximagesink i get an error saying:
Error: gst-stream-error-quark: Internal data stream error. (1): /dvs/git/dirty/git-master_linux/deepstream/sdk/src/gst-plugins/gst-nvinfer/gstnvinfer.cpp(2288): gst_nvinfer_output_loop (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstNvInfer:primary-inference: streaming stopped, reason not-linked (-1)
I needed to remove nveglglessink from the pipeline originally, but as nvegltransform is related to nveglglessink i decided to remove both. And in place of them i used ximagesink.
This is the pipeline i am working on (which gives the error mentioned):
filesrc (an h264) -> h264parse -> nvv4l2decoder -> nvstreammux -> nvinfer -> nvvideoconvert -> nvdsosd -> ximagesink
