[gst-devel] gst-devel - H.264 streaming: choppy video + timestamp warnings

[Thomaz Barros]

Hi everybody, As Adam I'm trying to develop a Gstreamer-basead application to
receive and send H.264 video over the internet and i had some problems
with packets being dropped too. I solved
that with these two pipelines.

Server:
#!/bin/sh
#
# A simple RTP server
#  sends the output of videotestsrc as h263+ encoded RTP on port 5000,
RTCP is sent on
#  port 5001. The destination is 127.0.0.1.
#  the video receiver RTCP reports are received on port 5005
#
# .-------.    .-------.    .-------.      .----------.     .-------.
# |vts    |    |h263enc|    |h263pay|      | rtpbin   |     |udpsink|  RTP
# |      src->sink    src->sink    src->send_rtp send_rtp->sink     | port=5000
# '-------'    '-------'    '-------'      |          |     '-------'
#                                          |          |
#                                          |          |     .-------.
#                                          |          |     |udpsink|  RTCP
#                                          |    send_rtcp->sink     | port=5001
#                           .-------.      |          |     '-------' sync=false
#                RTCP       |udpsrc |      |          |
async=false
#              port=5005    |     src->recv_rtcp      |
#                           '-------'      '----------'

Now the framerate is good but there are quite few delays between capture
and exhibition.
Could anybody help me?
