Help with RTP & GStreamer

[darkweaver87]

Hi everyone,

I have some troubles streaming video file over the network.

First of all, I tired this :

server:
gst-launch filesrc location=../partage/Videos/superman_originale.avi !
decodebin ! x264enc ! video/x-h264 ! rtph264pay pt=96 ! udpsink
host=192.168.1.2 port=5000 sync=false

client:
gst-launch udpsrc port=5000 ! rtph264depay ! decodebin ! xvimagesink

It works but I can't read it with vlc : vlc udp://@:5000 : is it normal ?

Now I would like to do the same thing with an RTP pipeline :

server:
gst-launch filesrc location=../partage/Videos/superman_originale.avi !
decodebin ! x264enc ! rtph264pay ! rtpbin localport=5001
destinations=127.0.0.1:5000

client:
gst-launch udpsrc port=5000 ! rtph264depay ! decodebin ! xvimagesink -->
this works
gst-launch rtpbin localport=5000 ! rtph264depay ! decodebin !
xvimagesink --> this doesn't work

How can I receive my stream ? with vlc ?

Thanks in advance !

Found:

server:
gst-launch -v gstrtpbin name=rtpbin \
filesrc location=filesrc location=../../../partage/Videos/superman_originale.avi ! decodebin name=dec \
dec. ! queue ! x264enc byte-stream=false bitrate=300 ! rtph264pay ! rtpbin.send_rtp_sink_0 \
rtpbin.send_rtp_src_0 ! udpsink port=5000 host=127.0.0.1 ts-offset=0 name=vrtpsink \
rtpbin.send_rtcp_src_0 ! udpsink port=5001 host=127.0.0.1 sync=false async=false name=vrtcpsink \
udpsrc port=5005 name=vrtpsrc ! rtpbin.recv_rtcp_sink_0 \
dec. ! queue ! audioresample ! audioconvert ! alawenc ! rtppcmapay ! rtpbin.send_rtp_sink_1 \
rtpbin.send_rtp_src_1 ! udpsink port=5002 host=127.0.0.1 ts-offset=0 name=artpsink \
rtpbin.send_rtcp_src_1 ! udpsink port=5003 host=127.0.0.1 sync=false async=false name=artcpsink \
udpsrc port=5007 name=artpsrc ! rtpbin.recv_rtcp_sink_1


client:

gst-launch -v gstrtpbin name=rtpbin latency=200 \
udpsrc caps="application/x-rtp,media=(string)video,clock-rate=(int)90000,encoding-name=(string)H264" port=5000 ! rtpbin.recv_rtp_sink_0 \
rtpbin. ! rtph264depay ! decodebin ! xvimagesink \
udpsrc port=5001 ! rtpbin.recv_rtcp_sink_0 \
rtpbin.send_rtcp_src_0 ! udpsink port=5005 host=127.0.0.1 sync=false async=false \
udpsrc caps="application/x-rtp,media=(string)audio,clock-rate=(int)8000,encoding-name=(string)PCMA" port=5002 ! rtpbin.recv_rtp_sink_1 \
rtpbin. ! rtppcmadepay ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink \
udpsrc port=5003 ! rtpbin.recv_rtcp_sink_1 \
rtpbin.send_rtcp_src_1 ! udpsink port=5007 host=127.0.0.1 sync=false async=false

or :

gst-launch -vvv playbin uri=file:///home/user/test/gstreamer/client.sdp

with client.sdp:
v=0
o=- 1188340656180883 1 IN IP4 127.0.0.1
s=Session streamed by GStreamer
i=server.sh

Hey darkweaver87,

I am trying to do a similar thing and your solution works great. However, I am having trouble transferring data over the network (it works great locally). I changed the IP addresses etc for remote data transfer. But I keep getting the following error on the client side:

ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstUDPSrc:udpsrc0: Internal data flow error.
Additional debug info:
gstbasesrc.c(2234): gst_base_src_loop (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstUDPSrc:udpsrc0:
streaming task paused, reason not-negotiated (-4)


Do you have any ideas on what could be wrong? or if there's something similar you've seen before?

Thanks!

Sorry but I don't know where the error is.

I've worked on it in an internship and it's not very fresh anymore in my mind.

After I posted this thread, I tried, like you, to make it work over a network because I retieved an other PC. And it didn't work because of a bug in the SDP parser.

But the other solution :
gst-launch -v gstrtpbin name=rtpbin latency=200 ...
has always worked.

hmm .. weird. Well, I will dig deeper into this and see if I can get it to work.

Thanks for your reply.

It worked for me now, with some help from #gstreamer and http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-good/tree/tests/examples/rtp

Thanks,

hi,uverma:
I have a same problem you have solved, when I use gstreamer plugin transmit the video and audio, hanppen an error, error message as below:
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstUDPSrc:udpsrc0: Internal data flow error.
Additional debug info:
gstbasesrc.c(2550): gst_base_src_loop (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstUDPSrc:udpsrc0:

can you give me some advice, thanks.

uverma,
could you tell me how do you solve the problem? I have the same problem, and have not solved until now.
