gst-rtsp-server multiple clients cannot see same video

[Michael Gruner]

The problem is v4l2src and not gstrtspserver. Every time a new client connects, a new “pipeline” (called media in the server context) is created and played. The problem, I believe, is that the first client already has the device occupied. 

Try setting gst_rtsp_media_factory_set_shared to true so that all clients share the same camera.
