Description

For example,

local Gst=lgi.Gst
local bin=Gst.parse_bin_from_description('rtspsrc location="rtsp://...."  name=mysrc ! rtph264depay ', true)
local rtspsrc=bin:get_by_name('mysrc')
function rtspsrc:on_on_sdp(sdp,ud)
	print('got sdp:',sdp)
end

when connecting to 'on-sdp' signal on a GstRtspSrc object, the above codes would fail with error message:

Gst.Bin: no `on_on_sdp'

It seems signals are loaded from GI typelib rather than through gobject runtime query. Maybe the way I'm using signals for such case is wrong?

Research direction

Start with the Lua reproduction using lgi.Gst, Gst.parse_bin_from_description, and get_by_name, then trace how the on-sdp signal is resolved for the GstRtspSrc object. Reproduce the Gst.Bin: no on_on_sdp error and determine whether the signal lookup differs between GI typelib data and runtime GObject data; done means the issue is explained or the derived-class signal connection works.
