Question on streaming

[Jerry Geis-2]

I am using this command on my server:

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080 ! videoconvert ! vp8enc cpu-used=16 end-usage=vbr target-bitrate=1024000 token-partitions=3 static-threshold=1000 min-quantizer=0 max-quantizer=63 threads=2 ! rtpvp8pay ! udpsink host=192.168.101.186 port=5000

Which leaves me with two questions:

1) What is the command to "view" the streaming out on clients?

2) How many clients can connect and view the stream at one time.

Thanks,

Jerry

Sorry I was not clear. How do I view the udpsink with something like totem or vlc command line?

I know gst-launch can also view. 

Thanks,

Jerry

Use a proper protocol, like RTSP (see gst-rtsp-server).

Note that without a deadline= on vp8enc, your stream will likely not be
real-time, hence not viewable. VBR is also not the ideal choice for RTP
streaming.

To view:

  udpsrc port=5000 caps=... ! rtpjitterbuffer ! rtpvp8depay ! ...

You have to copy the caps info from the first pipeline. Use -v for
that.

You are using unicast, so 1. The the client requires to have ip
192.168.101.186. Maybe you are looking for gst-rtsp-server library ?

Have you considered using RTSP instead of 'raw' UDP/RTP?

The data transport would/could still be done with UDP, but there would
be an additional session setup which simplifies many things.

If that's something you might be interested in, check out gst-rtsp-
server and try e.g.:

gst-rtsp-server/examples$ ./test-launch 'v4l2src device=/dev/video0 !
videoconvert ! vp8enc cpu-used=16 end-usage=vbr target-bitrate=1024000
token-partitions=3 static-threshold=1000 min-quantizer=0 max-
quantizer=63 threads=2 deadline=1 ! rtpvp8pay name=pay0'

Note that I added a deadline=1 parameter to vp8enc here. I dropped your
resolution caps filter, but you can add it back of course.

Once that runs you can do:

 vlc rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/test

or

 totem rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/test

or

 gst-play-1.0 rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/test

or

 gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/test \
                uridecodebin0::source::latency=100

(By default GStreamer uses a default jitterbuffer latency/size of
2000ms, which is quite large, so the last example shows you how you can
use a smaller value with gst-launch-1.0 - this is all completely client
side.)

If you add a

  gst_rtsp_media_factory_set_shared (factory, TRUE);

to test-launch.c and recompile with 'make' the capture/encode pipeline
can be shared amongst as many clients as you like.

I realise this doesn't quite answer your question, but it's still what
I'd recommend if you don't have any reason not to go this way :)

Cheers
