This directory contains some RTP payloaders/depayloaders for different payload types. Use one payloader/depayloder pair per payload. If several payloads can be payloaded/depayloaded by the same element, make different copies of it, one for each payload. The application/x-rtp mime type ------------------------------- For valid RTP packets encapsulated in GstBuffers, we use the caps with mime type application/x-rtp. The following fields can or must (*) be specified in the structure: * media: (String) [ "audio", "video", "application", "data", "control" ] Defined in RFC 2327 in the SDP media announcement field. Converted to lower case. * payload: (int) [0, 127] For audio and video, these will normally be a media payload type as defined in the RTP Audio/Video Profile. For dynamicaly allocated payload types, this value will be >= 96 and the encoding-name must be set. * clock-rate: (int) [0 - MAXINT] the RTP clock rate ssrc: (uint) [0 - MAXINT] The ssrc value currently in use. clock-base: (uint) [0 - MAXINT] The RTP time representing time 0 seqnum-base: (uint) [0 - MAXINT] The RTP sequence number representing the first rtp packet encoding-name: (String) ANY typically second part of the mime type. ex. MP4V-ES. only required if payload type >= 96. Converted to upper case. encoding-params: (String) ANY extra encoding parameters (as in the SDP a=rtpmap: field). only required if different from the default of the encoding-name. Converted to lower-case. Optional parameters as key/value pairs, media type specific. The value type should be of type G_TYPE_STRING. The key is converted to lower-case. The value is left in its original case. A parameter with no value is converted to =1. Example: "application/x-rtp", "media", G_TYPE_STRING, "audio", -] "payload", G_TYPE_INT, 96, ] - required "clock-rate", G_TYPE_INT, 8000, -] "encoding-name", G_TYPE_STRING, "AMR", -] - required since payload >= 96 "encoding-params", G_TYPE_STRING, "1", -] - optional param for AMR "octet-align", G_TYPE_STRING, "1", -] "crc", G_TYPE_STRING, "0", ] "robust-sorting", G_TYPE_STRING, "0", ] AMR specific params. "interleaving", G_TYPE_STRING, "0", -] Mapping of caps to and from SDP fields: m= RTP/AVP -] media and payload from caps a=rtpmap: /[/] -> when >= 96 a=fmtp: =;... For above caps: m=audio RTP/AVP 96 a=rtpmap:96 AMR/8000/1 a=fmtp:96 octet-align=1;crc=0;robust-sorting=0;interleaving=0 in RTSP, the SSRC is also sent. The optional parameters in the SDP fields are case insensitive. In the caps we always use the lowercase names so that the SDP -> caps mapping remains possible. usage with UDP -------------- To correctly and completely use the RTP payloaders on the sender and the receiver you need to write an application. It is not possible to write a full blown RTP server with a single gst-launch line. That said, it is possible to do something functional with a few gst-launch lines. The biggest problem when constructing a correct gst-launch line lies on the receiver end. The receiver needs to know about the type of the RTP data along with a set of RTP configuration parameters. This information is usually transmitted to the client using some sort of session description language (SDP) over some reliable channel (HTTP/RTSP/...). All of the required parameters to connect and use the RTP session on the server can be found in the caps on the server end. The client receives this information in some way (caps are converted to and from SDP, as explained above, for example). Some gst-launch lines: gst-launch-0.10 -v videotestsrc ! ffenc_h263p ! rtph263ppay ! udpsink Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... /pipeline0/videotestsrc0.src: caps = video/x-raw-yuv, format=(fourcc)I420, width=(int)320, height=(int)240, framerate=(fraction)30/1 Pipeline is PREROLLING ... .... /pipeline0/udpsink0.sink: caps = application/x-rtp, media=(string)video, payload=(int)96, clock-rate=(int)90000, encoding-name=(string)H263-1998, ssrc=(guint)527842345, clock-base=(guint)1150776941, seqnum-base=(guint)30982 ....

Note that the sync parameter on xvimagesink needs to be FALSE because we do not have an RTP session manager that controls the synchronisation in this pipeline.

In that state no data is received from the UDP sources as they are live sources and only produce data in PLAYING.
