<div dir="ltr">Yes, so it must be some kind of platform specific problem. You need a detailed log from the android/server to see why it isn't working. There are several things that happen 'behind the scenes' that can cause this behavior. I just encountered one myself that an element called 'input-selector' wasn't installed on a system. I was simply using a different Linux system to test a working server. To find that I set GST_DEBUG=*:3. The logging in GStreamer leaves a lot to be desired. When there are fatal errors (errors that prevent the process from succeeding), they should be caught higher up and result in a GST_ERROR message. Currently, that doesn't happen too well and catastrophic errors can easily go un-reported. </div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 11:45 AM, yoyosuper8 <<a href="mailto:yoyosuper8@yahoo.com" target="_blank">yoyosuper8@yahoo.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Chuck, thanks for the info. However, the code I've posted works on linux as well. In fact, the code I posted is part of an example in the rtsp-server folder. So, if it works just like that in linux, I would have thought that it would work fine in android. When I launch my app in my phone, I can tell that it opens a port and its listening on port 8554 (default). From my computer, I monitor the traffic using wireshark and I can see that my computer and my phone perform the tcp handshake and all is well there. But when my computer sends the rtsp packet requesting the video feed, the phone does not respond with a rtsp 200 OK packet. It just hangs and nothing happens. The code posted above works well in linux. I've tested using vlc as the requestor to view the streaming video. So why isn't working in android? There has got to be something out there that I'm missing. Someone please help :) Here is the code again: loop = g_main_loop_new (NULL, FALSE); server = gst_rtsp_server_new (); gst_rtsp_server_set_address(server, "192.168.1.10"); <-- IP address on the phone gst_rtsp_server_set_service(server, "8554"); mapping = gst_rtsp_server_get_media_mapping (server); factory = gst_rtsp_media_factory_new (); //gst_rtsp_media_factory_set_launch (factory, // "( videotestsrc is-live=1 ! ffenc_mpeg4 ! rtpmp4vpay send-config=true name=pay0 pt=96 )"); gst_rtsp_media_factory_set_launch (factory, "( videotestsrc is-live=1 ! x264enc ! rtph264pay name=pay0 pt=96 )"); gst_rtsp_media_factory_set_shared (factory, TRUE); gst_rtsp_media_mapping_add_factory (mapping, "/test", factory); g_object_unref (mapping); g_timeout_add_seconds (2, (GSourceFunc) timeout, server); g_main_loop_run (loop); Thank you Andy -- View this message in context: <a href="http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/rtsp-server-from-android-to-pc-tp4662269p4662355.html" target="_blank">http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/rtsp-server-from-android-to-pc-tp4662269p4662355.html</a> Sent from the GStreamer-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org">gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel</a> </blockquote></div> </div>
