Streaming H264 file using gst-rtsp-server

[amistry]

GStreamer Extended Family,

Consider me a beginner in GStreamer. I am trying to stream a recorded H264 file using gst-rtsp-server. So I can play/pause/seek the video from VLC player.

Here is what I have done so far:

Recorded the H264 encoded video from IP camera's RTP H264 stream using following pipeline:

gst-launch-1.0.exe -e -v rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.16.155/live.sdp ! rtph264depay ! h264parse !  mp4mux ! filesink location=record/video.h264

Then, I am streaming the recorded video.h264 using following pipeline:

gst-launch-1.0.exe -v filesrc location=record/video.h264 ! qtdemux ! h264parse ! rtph264pay config-interval=1 pt=96 ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5000

I am able to view the recorded video in VLC player by setting up a SDP file as shown below.

v=0
m=video 5000 RTP/AVP 96
c=IN IP4 127.0.0.1
a=rtpmap:96 H264/90000

But, I am not able to pause or seek the video. The above pipeline keeps playing the video even though the VLC player is not connected to port 5000.

Btw.. I tried using gst-rtsp-server's test-mp4 example to stream video.h264 but the VLC player times out the connection. The test-mp4 console output only shows single message i.e. "stream ready at rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/test.

Can someone point me into a right direction to stream a recorded video using GStreamer and play/pause/seek control from VLC player over RTSP ?

Thanks,
Arm

Hi, i'm a beginner like you, facing same troubles at same time.
Try to add name=pay0 to rtph264pay element, you can remove the
config-interval property when using rtsp-server. Good look. Let me know if
you have success

Luca Santini,

I was able to stream H264 video file using test-mp4 example of gst-rtsp-server package.

As my file contain only video, I had to modify the pipeline launch string of test-mp4 example as shown below:

"filesrc location=\"%s\" ! qtdemux "
      "! h264parse ! rtph264pay pt=96 name=pay0 "
       ")"


I was able to view the video in VLC player.

Let me know if you face any problem.

Thanks!
Amit
