Requesting the Evaluation Binary
In order to request an evaluation binary for a specific architecture, please contact us providing the following information:
- Platform (i.e.: iMX6, TX2, Ultrascale+, etc...)
- gst-launch-1.0 --gst-version
- uname -a
Testing the Binary
First, make sure the dependencies are fulfilled:
sudo apt-get install \
libgstrtspserver-1.0-0 \
libgstreamer1.0-0 \
libgstreamer-plugins-good1.0-0 \
libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 \
libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 \
gstreamer1.0-plugins-base \
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good \
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad \
gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
To use the binary provided by RidgeRun, export the location of the evaluation binary in your environment.
export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=${GST_PLUGIN_PATH}:/path/to/evaluation/binary/
where /path/to/evaluation/binary is the location in your file system where you have the binary provided by RidgeRun.
Additionally, you may just copy the binary into the standard GStreamer plug-in search path.
Finally, test that the plugin is being properly picked up by GStreamer by running:
gst-inspect-1.0 rtspsink
You should see the inspect output for the evaluation binary.
Example Pipelines
Please refer to the Simple Examples and the Advanced Examples pages for reference pipelines.
Troubleshooting
The first level of debug to troubleshoot a failing evaluation binary is to inspect GStreamer debug output.
GST_DEBUG=2 gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc is-live=true ! x264enc tune=zerolatency ! video/x-h264,mapping=/video ! rtspsink service=1234
If the output doesn't help you figure out the problem, please contact us with the output of the GStreamer debug and any additional information you consider useful.
If the plug-in is not being recognized, please provide the output of the following command:
gst-inspect-1.0 libgstrtspsink.so
