GStreamer is a modular node based player as well as encoder in a single application. It is possible to create chains of so called elements with a wide range of different plugins.
Contents
GStreamer
GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. The applications it supports range from simple Ogg/Vorbis playback, audio/video streaming to complex audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.
Applications can take advantage of advances in codec and filter technology transparently. Developers can add new codecs and filters by writing a simple plugin with a clean, generic interface.
Installing GStreamer
- NicoLargo made a script to automatically install all the required packages for GStreamer on Ubuntu 10.04. Should work for up to (K)Ubuntu 16.04 as well. Or:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
Tips
How to get 25 FPS ?
Depends on the sensor and the exposure:
- In the sensor's datasheet find resolutions that allow the required FPS.
- You won't get 25 fps if autoexposure is on and local brightness not high enough: the camera will automatically lower framerate for keeping clear picture. Either lighten up, or play with image settings (notably, gain).
GStreamer plugins
- All of the plugins are listed here.
- Alternative way of learning a plugin's parameters is:
- version 1.0
gst-inspect-1.0 <name>
- version 0.10
gst-inspect-0.1 <name>
Command line examples
Note: replace width and height accordingly to your camera setup and your computer's horsepower :P)
GStreamer 1.0 (10393 & 10353)
Display
Multipart JPEG (mjpeg), 1 channel
gst-launch-1.0 souphttpsrc is-live=true location=http://192.168.0.8:2323/mimg ! jpegdec ! xvimagesink
Notes:
- 10393 ports are 2323-2326
- 10353 port is 8081
Multipart JPEGs (mjpeg), 4 channels in 1 window
- Each source is resized to 640x480
- Text overlay and borders added

Live RTSP stream
Notes:
- careful with streams at higher resolution than 1920x1088
- 10353 - works
- 10393 - doesn't have a streamer yet
native resolution
gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 ! rtpjpegdepay ! jpegdec ! xvimagesink sync=false

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 ! rtpjpegdepay ! jpegdec ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! xvimagesink sync=false
GStreamer 0.10 (10353)
Display
Notes:
- Careful with streams at higher resolution than 1920x1088
Live RTSP stream

gst-launch-0.10 rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 ! rtpjpegdepay ! jpegdec ! queue ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink sync=false

Dumping
mjpeg dumping
gst-launch -v rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 ! queue ! rtpjpegdepay ! \
videorate ! capsfilter caps = "image/jpeg, framerate=(fraction)25/1, width=1024, height=768" ! \
queue ! matroskamux ! filesink location=/tmp/test.mkv
YUV Dumping
gst-launch -v rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 ! queue ! rtpjpegdepay ! queue ! jpegdec ! queue ! \
videorate ! capsfilter caps="video/x-raw-yuv, format=(fourcc)I420, width=(int)1024, height=(int)768, framerate (fraction)25/1" ! \
queue ! avimux ! filesink location=/tmp/test.avi
Dump transcoding example
gst-launch filesrc location=test.mkv ! matroskademux ! queue ! jpegdec ! queue ! theoraenc bitrate=4000 ! queue ! oggmux ! filesink location=test.ogg
Live encoding
gst-launch -v rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 ! queue ! rtpjpegdepay ! queue ! jpegdec ! queue ! \
videorate ! capsfilter caps="video/x-raw-yuv, format=(fourcc)I420, width=(int)1024, height=(int)768, framerate=(fraction)25/1" ! \
queue ! theoraenc bitrate=4000 ! queue ! oggmux ! filesink location=/tmp/test1024.ogg
Notes:
- I did some benchmarks; a Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4 Ghz) is not powerful enough for h264 encoding @fullHD resolution (using 4 treads).
Useful links
Some other examples
- Simply playing stream
gst-launch-1.0 -v playbin uri=rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 uridecodebin0::source::latency=0
- Receive rtsp stream and re-stream as rtp:
gst-launch-1.0 -e rtspsrc location='rtsp://192.168.0.9:554' latency=0 ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5000
To play that rtp with vlc one would need an sdp file (somefile.sdp):
v=0 m=video 5000 RTP/AVP 26 c=IN IP4 127.0.0.1 a=rtpmap:26 JPEG/90000
To play with vlc:
vlc somefile.sdp --network-caching=0
To play with gstreamer (sdp is not required):
gst-launch-1.0 udpsrc uri=udp://127.0.0.1:5000 ! rtpjpegdepay ! jpegdec ! autovideosink
