The pipeline ran without clients, after 1h one client is connected to the stream.
GstRtspSink Pipeline
The following GstRtspSink pipeline generates video with a videotestsrc, encodes it using NVIDIA HW accelerated H264 encoder, and streams it using GstRtspSink.
PORT=5000
MAPPING=/stream1
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc is-live=true ! video/x-raw, width=1920, height=1080, framerate=60/1 ! queue ! nvvidconv ! nvv4l2h264enc insert-sps-pps=true idrinterval=30 ! perf print-cpu-load=true ! video/x-h264, mapping=${MAPPING} ! rtspsink service=${PORT}
![]() | The perf element is optional. The perf element prints frame rate and CPU usage debug information. |
