Streaming an mpeg2-ts video over RTP using gstreamer

gstreamer rtp mpeg2-ts

I am trying to stream an mpeg2-ts video over RTP using gstreamer. I am using the following pipeline for the server:

gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=/home/…/miracast_sample.mpeg ! rtpmp2tpay ! udpsink host=localhost port=5000 sync=false

The problem that I am facing is that I get directly an EOS event like described below:

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
/GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstRTPMP2TPay:rtpmp2tpay0: timestamp = 3878456990
/GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstRTPMP2TPay:rtpmp2tpay0: seqnum = 50764
Pipeline is PREROLLED ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstSystemClock
Got EOS from element "pipeline0".
Execution ended after 126835285 ns.
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Setting pipeline to READY ...
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...

I can understand that it is running very fast but how to fix it?

You have set sync=FALSE, and that translates to "do not sync on timestamps, but process the buffer as fast as possible." Try and change it to TRUE, like so:

gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=/home/…/miracast_sample.mpeg ! rtpmp2tpay ! udpsink host=localhost port=5000 sync=1
