ffmpeg works but gstreamer does not work for rtsp camera


I'm using Nvidia Jetson Tx2 device.

With the following command, I can connect and capture an image with ffmpeg.

$/usr/bin/ffmpeg -y -frames 1 snapshot.png -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://admin:[email protected]/1/profile

But with gstreamer, (I'm using version 1.14.5) I am not able to access the rtsp feed.

I have also removed gstreamer-ugly pkg but it still does not work!

Let me know if you can help me! Thanks!


Solution

  • I have solved this by the help of Gstreamer forum.

    The problem was that ffmpeg is using tcp when gstreamer is using udp and tcp, and I believe in stream 2, udp is failing. The trick was to put a t to specify tcp

    $gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtspt://admin:[email protected]/1/profile ! fakesink
    

    Also, you can see the debug lines by gst_debug

    $gst-launch-1.0 --gst-debug=rtspsrc:5 uridecodebin uri=rtsp://admin:[email protected]/1/profile ! fakesink
