GStreamer Launch RTSP Server for ReStreaming IP Camera H264

M.Mahdipour picture M.Mahdipour · May 23, 2017 · Viewed 10.4k times · Source

I am going to use multiple clients on different computers to be able to view video of an IP Camera stream url. Because the Ip camera has limitations on the number of connected clients, I want to setup a streamer for this purpose. I googled and tried GStreamer with different command line options but not yet successful.

Here is a test command line:

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="rtsp://root:[email protected]/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=320x240&fps=10&compression=50" latency=10 ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! tcpserversink host=127.0.0.1 port=5100 -e

But when I want to test it with vlc, nothing is played. Is it related to SDP? Does gstreamer can restream sdp from source?

After finding the correct command line, I want to integrate it into a c# application to automate this process.

Any help is welcome.

You need gst-rtsp-server. And to use it you have to write small C/C++ application - example here

upd: If your rtsp source provide h264 video stream you could use following pipeline to restream it without transcoding:

rtspsrc location=rtsp://example.com ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! rtph264pay name=pay0 pt=96
