Problems running the pipelines shown on this page? Please see our GStreamer Debugging guide for help .

This wiki shows two ways of streaming with RTSP: Using gst-rtsp-server and RidgeRun's GStreamer element rtspsink

Using rtspsink

GstRtspSink is a RidgeRun GStreamer sink element that publishes one or more RTSP streams from a single pipeline. It is designed for embedded Linux systems that need video streaming, synchronized audio and video, multicast delivery, authentication, and easy integration into both gst-launch prototypes and production applications.

Get Started!

Setting up element

Follow the instructions on how to build the element.

It is possible to capture from different sources:

Stream videotestsrc

Run server on board on localhost:

gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc is-live=true ! v4l2h264enc qos=true ! video/x-h264,profile=high,stream-format=byte-stream,alignment=au ! h264parse config-interval=-1 ! video/x-h264,mapping=/test ! rtspsink service=8554

Stream from camera connected to JCAM0
