RTP from MPTS File

[ht techdev]

Thank you. Ended up using tsparse. And you are right, there is a missing rtpmp2tpay before udpsink, my bad.
Cheers,

Use tsparse with set-timestamps=true (requires GStreamer 1.6.0 or newer), and don't do do-timestamp=true on filesrc. filesrc has no way of knowing the correct timestamps.


Also what you're doing there is not RTP but plain MPEG-TS over UDP. If you want to do RTP, you at least need rtpmp2tpay before the udpsink, ideally also rtpbin (more complicated) if you also want to support RTCP.
