I tried this way because of the bandwidth property of gstrtspsession.
Indeed it makes no difference, as you said.

It seems really hard to find a solution. That's a pity, because

TelecomItalia routers. Actually, I found that ffmper does it too, but it
has no option to control the speed nor the bandwidth.

Best regards and many thanks.
