How to get latency and packet-loss from udpsrc

[mapcol]

I have two pipelines for sending and receiving streaming via UDP (udpsink ---> udpsrc)

How do I get statistics about latency and packet-loss from udpsrc?

udpsrc can't do that for you, and UDP in general does not allow you to
get such statistics. You need a higher-layer protocol for that, e.g.
RTP with RTCP.

Thx,

How would I do that with rtp/ rtcp elements? Does that mean I have to remove udpsink and udpsrc from my application?

No, but everything before/after that will be different. Look at the
examples with rtpbin in gst-plugins-good/tests/examples/rtp.

Also note that this uses a completely different protocol than before,
both sender and receiver need to handle that correctly.
