GstRtspSink - Dual Multicast

This wiki provides an example to H264 streams through two different multicast groups.

GstRtspSink Pipeline

This example generates two test patterns and encodes to H264. Then it creates two independent RTSP streams, each one in a different multicast group.

PORT=12345
MAPPING1=/stream1
MAPPING2=/stream2
IP_MIN=224.2.0.3
IP_MAX=224.2.0.10
PORT_MIN=7000
PORT_MAX=7010
TTL=128

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsink name=sink service=${PORT} multicast-ip-min=${IP_MIN} multicast-ip-max=${IP_MAX} \
multicast-port-min=${PORT_MIN} multicast-port-max=${PORT_MAX} multicast=true \
videotestsrc pattern=snow ! queue ! x264enc key-int-max=30 ! video/x-h264,mapping=${MAPPING1} ! sink. \
