Often times when I try to launch the camera, I get the following error:

root@vs-drone-board:/data/camera# gst-launch-1.0 -e qtiqmmfsrc name=qmmf qmmf.video_0 ! video/x-h264,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! fakesink

You need to explicitly set elements to the NULL state before
dropping the final reference, to allow them to clean up.
This problem may also be caused by a refcounting bug in the
application or some element.

I can generate that behavior by starting and immediately stoping the gst-launch command around 5 to 10 times in a row.

Do you have any idea why that occurs/how to fix it?

It could be coz of certain processes entering an unexpected state. Does it happen otherwise as well, I mean when you normally start and use without stopping immediately?
