Is there a VP8 parser?

[Andres Gonzalez]

Hi,
I am trying to get some streaming pipelines working using tcpserversink and the various muxers.

The examples I have seen for h264 encoded streams have an h264parser element directly after the x264enc element. But for a VP8 encoded stream, I cannot find an equivalent "vp8parser"

Question: Is there a specific "vp8parser" element?

Thanks,

As far as I know, there is no vp8parse and I have never needed it when working with VP8 streams (e.g. used in WebRTC). I know that the Kurento Media Server (which heavily relies on GStreamer) has (had?) a vp8parse element. I once compiled it myself and used it in regular GStreamer pipelines.

Hi,

Unlike H.264, the VP8 format can not be transported without some kind
of container has it doesn't include a startcode, so a parser is not
needed. You should get all of the information without it. So you should
be able to just do rtpvp8depay ! muxer.
