[gst-devel] Reading RTSP stream from VLC

[Mario Latronico]

Hello,
i'm new to GStreamer and i would like to visualize a video stream from
the net; I use Video lan as a video server.

I followed the steps found at
http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ch05.html (at the end
of the page):

vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan
--rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554

then i connect to the videolan telnet interface and set the commands
which basicaly enable a file as a stream for video on demand:

new Test vod enabled
setup Test input /home/mario/Desktop/my_video.mpg

If i launch vlc rtsp://127.0.0.1:5554/Test i can see the video (the
stream flows from localhost, since i run the vlc on the same machine).

However if i try:

gst-launch-0.10  rtspsrc location=rtsp://127.0.0.1:5554/Test !
fakesink , which is the command line i found in the reference
documentation for rtspsrc

i get:

Impostazione della pipeline a PAUSED ... [sorry, it is italian
translation for "set pipeline to PAUSED"]

Spinning.  Please run 'gdb gst-launch 10236' to continue debugging,
Ctrl-C to quit, or Ctrl-\ to dump core.

How can i set a gst-launch-0.10 (if it is possible) command line to
receive and visualize a RTSP stream ?
