monitor a gstreamer stream

Post by henryco »

Hello,

I 'm correctly receiving (with a gst-launch command) a gstreamer rtp h264 HD video flux over UDP on the machine where zoneminder is installed.
is it possible to monitor directly this video flux with zoneminder (so no gst-launch command receiver side) ? If yes i assume Ffmpeg is the correct source type to use but what should be the source path ? the remote gstreamer targets my local ip:port but if i put the local ip:port receiving the flux in zoneminder setup it does not work (i get a blue screen) ...

If it's not the good method may be the only possible way is to recieve the video with gstreamer again and redirect it to a fifo file ... then monitor this fifo file with zoneminder, before trying along this way , i'd like to be sure that the first method above can't work, because i'm afraid the fifo method will induce a lot more latency...

thank you in advance for any helpful advice and comments
