Fwd: hlssink : can 'playlist-root' be a remote server

[Tarun Tej K]

Hi,

I am trying to stream a live video from IP camera to remote client (Like
Microsoft Edge browser) using HLS protocol.

My question is, how to make the files (seg*.ts and playlist.m3u8) get
copied to remote web server (call it *PC2*) rather than in the local
directories. Is playlist-root used for this purpose?

I have Linux machine (call it *PC1*) which runs the following command



*gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="rtsp://<camera url>"  ! rtph264depay !
h264parse ! mpegtsmux !   hlssink  max-files=2 target-duration=2
location=/hlsdir/seg00%d.ts playlist-location=/hlsdir/playlist.m3u8
playlist-root=<web server IP address>*

When I give the 'location' and 'playlist-location' as the local directories
of the PC1, everything works fine independent of the what is given in the
playlist-root.


Point to note here is that as per my requirement I want the web server to
be different and remotely located from the my Linux machine (PC1) which is
running the above command.

But, when I give the 'location' and 'playlist-location' as per the
directories of PC2 (which is a remote web server) and  in the
'playlist-root' I give the IP address of web server, I get an error of 'No
such file or directory' as below:

I want to know how HLSSINK uploads the files to remote web server using the
property of 'playlist-root', does it use FTP or HTTP? I have added MIME
types of .ts and .m3u8 in the my web server configuration.
Let me know if I have to give any information.

Thanks
Tarun
