[gst-devel] HTTP video source serves individual JPEG images

[Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia]

Hello all,

I am trying to use gstreamer to stream video (sort of) from a HTTP source
that serves individual JPEG images. This is not a MJPEG stream -- instead,
a new HTTP request is required for each frame that is to be retrieved.

This pipeline works for MJPEG:

gst-launch souphttpsrc location=http://user:pass@hostname/path ! jpegdec ! xvimagesink

If I try to use the same pipeline for an HTTP source that serves individual
JPEG images, only one image is shown (since the HTTP response actually
contains just one single image).

Is there any way to have souphttpsrc make additional requests periodically
from the specified location?

Is there any other way to achieve this?

Thanks,

GRodriguez
