Videomixer fails on sources rather than Videotestsrc

I want to play two different local video files at the same time in a single window. The code below without demux and decoder works fine.

    static void play_video(){

    GMainLoop *loop;
    GstElement *pipeline,*videomixer;

    GstPad *pad,*pad1;

    const char pattern = "snow";

    loop = g_main_loop_new(NULL, FALSE);

    pipeline = gst_pipeline_new("my-pipeline");

    src = gst_element_factory_make ("videotestsrc","src");
    src1 = gst_element_factory_make ("videotestsrc","src1");

    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (src), "pattern", 10, NULL);

    filter = gst_element_factory_make("capsfilter","filter");
    filter1 = gst_element_factory_make("capsfilter","filter1");

    csp = gst_element_factory_make("ffmpegcolorspace","csp");
    csp1 = gst_element_factory_make("ffmpegcolorspace","csp1");

    /**/

    videobox=gst_element_factory_make("videobox","videobox");
    g_object_set(videobox,"top",0,"bottom",0,"left",0,"right",0,NULL);

    g_object_set(videobox1,"top",-20,"bottom",0,"left",0,"right",0,NULL);

    videomixer=gst_element_factory_make("videomixer","videomixer");



      /**/
      sink = gst_element_factory_make("xvimagesink","sink");
       if(sink == NULL)
       sink = gst_element_factory_make("ximagesink","sink");
       if(sink == NULL)
       g_error("'ximagesink' yaratılamadı.");




    gst_bin_add_many(GST_BIN(pipeline),src,filter,videobox,videomixer,csp,sink,
                src1,filter1,videobox1,csp1,NULL);

Problem is when I replace the videotestsrc with filesrc it fails and the only error message I get is "Could not lookup object NULL on signal destroy of object window". I'm not an gstreamer expert and my opinion is I am failing at setting demux and decoder.

Any ideas or corrections are welcome.

Several issues:

• filesrc does not take uris, but file-paths
• /* wait until it's up and running or failed */ + the code below is not needed, better listen on the bus for the error and warning messages
• "Could not lookup object NULL on signal destroy of object window" has nothing to do with gstreamer
• the whole videobox business is not needed as the pads of videomixer have xpos, ypos and zorder properties
