The gst-launch pipeline works ok .. sender gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=~/Videos/POTC.mjpg ! multipartdemux ! rtpjpegpay ! udpsink port=1234 host=127.0.0.1 receiver gst-launch-0.10 -v udpsrc uri=udp://127.0.0.1:1234   caps="application/x-rtp, media=(string)video, clock-rate=(int)90000, encoding-name=(string)JPEG, payload=(int)96, ssrc=(guint)1538011841, clock-base=(guint)924217442, seqnum-base=(guint)30638"  ! rtpjpegdepay ! jpegdec   !   videoscale ! xvimagesink However, using VLC to connect to an rtsp process which spawns off an application which builds the above pipeline, things don't quite work. In wireshark I can see the rtsp session ( and it species the caps shown above), and it seems to be working ok. And I can see the MJPEG packets being sent to the VLC host, however VLC doesn't display them as they are received. Whenever I terminate both the rtp and rtsp applications on the sender host (using kill -15) VLC finally wakes up and displays a short burstr of frames from the start of the clip. I'd appreciate it if anybody can give me any clues. I have the same issues when I put the use a jpeg in other containers as well. John </body> </html>
