The pipeline for the server is: v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw-yuv, width=800, height=600, framerate=30/1 ! x264enc ! rtph264pay name=pay0 pt=96. at the client, I am using VLC player to live stream. when running the following command in terminal using above pipeline at server, I got errors. $ vlc rtsp://192.168.1.44:8554/test VLC media player 2.0.5 Twoflower (revision 2.0.5-0-g1661b7d) [0x9bae908] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. [0xb4e03f88] live555 demux error: Failed to connect with rtsp://192.168.1.44:8554/test [0xb4e00618] main input error: open of `rtsp://192.168.1.44:8554/test' failed However, when I use videotestsrc as my pipeline raw video source instead of v4l2src, I got no error and the streaming starts flawlessly. I can view the test video pattern generated by videotestsrc on my client using VLC with the same command as above. I cant figure out why v4l2src is not working with RTSP server??? I even tried using ffenc_mpeg4 and rtpmp4vpay instead of x264enc and rtph264enc, but the same error occurs, I cannot connect to the server using v4l2src, but videotestsrc has no problem at all, I can connect and also view the test pattern. I appreciate any suggestion or solutions. Regards, Yusuf Husainy. Hi Yusuf, Take the RTSP server out of the equation and run your pipeline like this: GST_DEBUG=5 GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw-yuv, width=800, height=600, framerate=30/1 ! x264enc ! rtph264pay name=pay0 pt=96 &>capture.txt<code> </code>You can e-mail me the capture.txt if you want, but you should be able to see warnings and/or errors in the log that will lead you to the root cause of your problem. </div></div> </div></body></html>
