I am working on a video calling project along with session recordings, mediasoup part for streaming is done, but facing problem in recording, my approach

- for each producer present in a room, i created a dedicated plain transport (listening to some udp port selected by OS itself)
- the plain transport is connected to some other udp port where it will be forwarding packets (used port pooling here)
- every thing is working up to here now i just want to record the incoming RTP packets using gstreamer pipeline (trying to do this step by step for now just for one video stream)  
i have some info as well such as  
consumerId : ‘1864afc7-fe02-41cc-889b-d310993545a3’  
kind : ‘video’  
codec : ‘video/H264’  
payloadType : 101  
clockRate : 90000  
ssrc : 658844601  
port :42001  
profileLevelId : ‘42e01f’

but still facing problem with my gstreamer pipeline as the pipeline just failed saying : “Received invalid RTP payload, dropping”  
here’s my pipeline btw : gst-launch-1.0 -e -v udpsrc port=42001 caps=“application/x-rtp,media=video,encoding-name=H264,payload=101,clock-rate=90000,ssrc=658844601,profile-level-id=42e01f” ! rtpjitterbuffer ! rtph264depay ! h264parse config-interval=1 ! mp4mux faststart=true ! filesink location=recording.mp4
