Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is an application-layer Protocol specially used for Streaming media. This article will introduce GStreamer, VLC, FFmpeg tools, how to send and receive RTSP streams.

GStreamer
Installation:
Sudo apt install libgstreamer1.0-0 gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad Gstreamer1.0 -plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-doc gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x gstreamer1.0-alsa Gstreamer1.0 - gl gstreamer1.0 - gtk3 gstreamer1.0 - qt5 gstreamer1.0 - pulseaudioCopy the codeView all plug-ins:

GStreamer RTSP Server
Compile test-launch example:
Sudo apt install libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstrtspserver-1.0 gitclone https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-rtsp-server.git
cdGST - RTSP server/git checkout 1.18cdExamples/GCC test-launch.c -o test-launch $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-rtSP-server-1.0)Copy the codeSend RTSP test flow with test-launch:
$ ./test-launch "videotestsrc ! x264enc ! rtph264pay name=pay0 pt=96"Stream ready at RTSP: / / 127.0.0.1:8554 /test
Copy the codeReceiving RTSP test flow with GST-launch:
GST - launch - 1.0 playbin uri = RTSP: / / 127.0.0.1:8554 /test
Copy the code
Send the RTSP totest-launch
Send ~/Videos/test.mp4 files:
./test-launch "filesrc location=/home/john/Videos/test.mp4 ! decodebin ! x264enc ! rtph264pay name=pay0 pt=96"
Copy the codeSend /dev/video0 webcam:
./test-launch "v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2,width=640,height=480 ! videoconvert ! x264enc ! rtph264pay name=pay0 pt=96"
Copy the codeReceive RTSP togst-launch
GST - launch - 1.0 playbin uri = RTSP: / / 127.0.0.1:8554 /test
# orGST - launch - 1.0 RTSPSRC location = RTSP: / / 127.0.0.1:8554 /test ! decodebin ! autovideosink
