GStreamer rtp stream to vlc

Question

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to create a simple rtp stream with gstreamer and display it on vlc. I've installed GStreamer 0.10.30 and VLC 1.1.3. My only requirement is to use MPEG4 or H.264 codecs. Right now, I can stream the GStreamer videotestsrc through this simple pipeline: ``` gst-launch videotestsrc ! ffenc_mpeg4 ! rtpmp4vpay ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5000 ``` which outputs the "caps" needed by the client to receive the stream: ``` /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstUDPSink:udpsink0.GstPad:sink: caps = application/x-rtp, media=(string)video, clock-rate=(int)90000, encoding-name=(string)MP4V-ES, profile-level-id=(string)1, config=(string)000001b001000001b58913000001000000012000c48d8800f50a041e1463000001b24c61766335322e3132332e30, payload=(int)96, ssrc=(uint)365697461, clock-base=(uint)390754204, seqnum-base=(uint)10399 ``` I'm also able to display the stream using the following pipeline: ``` gst-launch udpsrc uri=udp://127.0.0.1:5000 caps="application/x-rtp, media=(string)…

Accepted Answer

I've solved the issue, it just needs an sdp file like this:

```
v=0
m=video 5000 RTP/AVP 96
c=IN IP4 127.0.0.1
a=rtpmap:96 MP4V-ES/90000
```

and the option "send-config=true" for the rtpmp4vpay element:

```
gst-launch videotestsrc ! ffenc_mpeg4 ! rtpmp4vpay send-config=true ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5000
```

and then, it can be played with

```
vlc <filename>.sdp
```
