AW: Has Anyone Been Successful in Streaming From Gstreamer to a WowzaServer in Windows?

Thu Jul 21 00:41:24 PDT 2011

Hi William!

I also checked the OSSBuild repository for the RTSP Server. It seems that it's still under development- but you can find it after checking out the repository in:

[ossbuild_trunk]\Main\GStreamer\Source\gst-rtsp-server

There is a README file for a start but you will have to do some implementation in C i guess. I did not use it yet but I would like to in the future- let me know if you manage to get it run-

Best,

mat

I am unable to find the GstRTSPServer for windows.  I searched it some 
on google and I checked OSSBuilds but I was not able to find it.  Could 
you please provide with a link or some more information on how to get 
the rtsp server in Windows.

Thanks again,
William
