Mixing

  • How to mix two test streams (videobox, videomixer)

    gst-launch-1.0 videomixer name=mixer ! gtksink \
    videotestsrc ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,width=960,height=540 ! \
    tee name=t !  queue ! videoconvert ! videobox left=-960 ! videoconvert ! mixer. \
    t. ! queue ! videobox left=0  ! videoconvert ! mixer.
    

Join multiple video parts in one video

gst-launch-1.0 splitmuxsrc location=video*.mp4 ! h264parse ! mp4mux ! filesink location=out.mp4

Using FFMPEG

ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i <(for f in ./*.mp4; do echo "file '$PWD/$f'"; done) -c copy all.mp4

Splitting

  • Split single video into 60 sec pieces:

    gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=video.mp4 ! qtdemux ! h264parse ! splitmuxsink max-size-time=60000000000 location=piece%02d.mp4
    

Networking

TCP

Test stream (videotestsrc)

  • send

    gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,width=100,height=100 ! \
    x264enc tune="zerolatency" ! mpegtsmux ! tcpserversink host=127.0.0.1 port=5000
    
  • receive

    gst-launch-1.0 tcpclientsrc port=5000 host=127.0.0.1 ! tsdemux ! \
    h264parse ! avdec_h264 ! videoconvert ! gtksink
    

From webcamera (v4l2src)

  • send

    gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! jpegenc ! tcpserversink host=localhost port=5000
    
  • receive

    gst-launch-1.0 tcpclientsrc port=5000 ! jpegdec ! videoconvert ! autovideosink sync=true
    

Video Record

RTSP

Recording video to multiple files (duration 1 minute)

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://... drop-on-latency=true latency=0 ! \
rtph264depay ! h264parse ! splitmuxsink location=video%02d.mp4 max-size-time=60000000000

FPS measurements

RTSP

gst-launch-1.0 -v rtspsrc location=rtsp://... drop-on-latency=true latency=0 ! \
decodebin ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=RGB ! videoconvert ! \
fpsdisplaysink video-sink=fakesink signal-fps-measurements=True

Jetson

gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=video.mp4 ! qtdemux name=demux1 demux1.video_0 ! \
queue ! h264parse ! omxh264dec ! fpsdisplaysink video-sink=fakesink signal-fps-measurements=True

Format Conversion

H264 -> RGBA

Jetson

 gst-launch-1.0 -v -e filesrc location=video2560.mp4 ! qtdemux name=demux1 demux1.video_0 ! queue ! \
 h264parse ! omxh264dec ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw,format=RGBA ! \ 
 fpsdisplaysink video-sink=fakesink signal-fps-measurements=True

MPEG -> MP4

 gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=video.mpeg ! mpegpsdemux ! h264parse ! mp4mux ! filesink location=video.mp4 sync=False -e

Take snapshot

RTSP

 gst-launch-1.0 -v rtspsrc location=... drop-on-latency=true latency=0 num-buffers=1 ! \
 decodebin  !  videoconvert ! jpegenc ! multifilesink location=img101.jpg

Video Processing

Change Width/Height (Using videoscale plugin)

  • scales video to Full HD (1920x1080)

    gst-launch-1.0  filesrc location=video.mp4 ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! \
    video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080 ! videoconvert ! \
    x264enc tune=zerolatency bitrate=16384 ! filesink location=video.mp4 -e
    

Change FPS of video (Using videorate plugin)

  • making video with 15 FPS

    gst-launch-1.0  filesrc location=video.mp4 ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! \ 
    videorate ! video/x-raw,framerate=15/1 ! videoconvert ! \
    x264enc tune=zerolatency bitrate=16384 ! filesink location=video.mp4
    

Streaming from Youtube

gst-launch-1.0 souphttpsrc is-live=true location="$(youtube-dl -f mp4 -g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjDjIWPwcPU)" \
! decodebin ! videoconvert ! gtksink sync=false

Note:

  • youtube-dl allows to get HTTPS URL for youtube video link.
