How to get H264 & V4L2 pipeline work together?

[Tzu-Jung Lee]

Hi Folks,

I'm working on a device which can do mpeg2 to h264 transcoding.
I already have a preliminary V4L2 driver implementation, and can do
file to file transcoding with the v4l2-ctl utility.
And now I'd like to do the streaming over UDP with gstreamer.

What are the best pipeline to do the streaming over UDP?
(I configure the device to do h264 to h264 transcoding, which takes
h264 ES feed, and output h264 ES)

Current, I can get the transcode ES muxed and streamed over UDP with:

    gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! h264parse ! mpegtsmux ! rndbuffersize
min=188 max=188 ! udpsink host=192.168.1.10 port=1234&


But I can't feed the bitstream to the device from udpsrc or filesrc yet.

    gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=test.264 ! h264parse ! v4l2sink
device=/dev/video0

The following is the less verbose message. The full log is attached

v4l2sink device=/dev/video0
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...

stream-format=(string)avc, alignment=(string)au,

Both of the following works:

    gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=test.264 ! h264parse ! filesink
location=/tmp/out.264

    gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=test.264 ! filesink location=/tmp/out.264

Any comment or suggestion?

Thanks.
