Create HLS Stream from external HW H264 Encoder

[Franz Löseke]

Hello. I have tried many things but now i have no idea what happen.
I  want to stream a HLS from an external H264 Encoder. This encoder  
creates a HTTP TS  and a rtsp stream. As i know for HLS a TS is  
needed. If i use the videotestsrc everything works fine but if i take  
the source from the http stream then gstreamer creates one single  
hlsfile and no playlist.
This is my line for the videotest:

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc is-live=true ! x264enc ! mpegtsmux !  
hlssink max-files=3  playlist-root=http://192.168.178.60  
location=/var/www/html/hlsstream%01d.ts target-duration=5  
playlist-location=/var/www/html/playlist.m3u8


This for the external encoder:

gst-launch-1.0 souphttpsrc location=http://192.168.178.100:8000/ext  
is-live=true ! h264parse ! mpegtsmux ! hlssink max-files=5   
target-duration=8 playlist-root=http://192.168.178.60  
location=/var/www/html/hlsstream%01d.ts  
playlist-location=/var/www/html/playlist.m3u8

I tried also without mpegtsmux (because i think it is TS as the  
description of the encoder says). Here just one .ts file will be  
created and not splitted as the first test command.


In verbose mode i get these messages:

Is there anybody who have a sollution for that? Other question. What  
happen if the encoder is temporaly not available?
