Beta-testers for GStreamer plugin (OS X)

[eight]

For those with Raspberry PI:

To use Raspberry Pi as a HTTP video source:

    On RPI execute: 

         raspivid -o - -t 0 -hf -w 640 -h 360 -fps 25|cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8090}' :demux=h264

    In Isadora GStreamer: set URL to

         http://RPI_HOST_IP:8090

To use Raspberry PI as RTSP video source:

    On RPI execute:

         raspivid -o - -t 9999999 |cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/}' :demux=h264

    In Isadora GStreamer: set URL to

         rtsp://RPI_HOST_IP:8554/

To use Raspberry PI as RTSP video source with pi_streamer (https://github.com/codemonkeyricky/pi_streamer)

On RPI:

Build pi_streamer according to https://github.com/codemonkeyricky/pi_streamer

Execute pi_streamer > > /dev/null

In Isadora GStreamer: set URL to

    rtsp://RPI_HOST_IP:8554/pi_encode.h264

I managed to take a picture as I followed the steps in this post http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/camera.md

So the camera is recognized by the Raspberry PI.

Tried the commands, but it says command not found see photos attached

It says cvlc kommando nicht gefunden. You have to install vlc player that is encoding video into rtsp.

sudo apt-get install vlc

-8

[crystalhorizon]

Ok installed the vlc player.

Now I get a full screen video feed out of the rasperry. I have connected it to my Blackmagic Intensity shuttle and routed the hdmi to my stage.

But not via Gstreamer. I dont know how to get back to the rasperry command line...

[eight]

To get back to your RPi command line press Ctrl + C (or CMND+C).

I am not sure what Blackmagic shuttle is here for.

Can you ping your RPi from the computer that runs Isadora?

I´d love to give it a try, sounds promising..

best

[jazzyfish]

I'd love to test it also, especially http stream from youtube

@ eight

Tested the plugin.

Setup Mac mini latest OS X, iPad mini and iVigilo,

G-Streamer plugin 320x240 20 FPS

IP camera QC patch 640x480 60 FPS

thx

I use the blackmagic for the display on my second monitor.

I followed that tutorial:

https://www.modmypi.com/blog/tutorial-how-to-give-your-raspberry-pi-a-static-ip-address

the next I´m trying:

http://www.dexterindustries.com/BrickPi/getting-started/using-the-pi/connect-to-your-raspberry-pi-from-a-mac/

Here I am stuck: when I execute ping gateway on rasperry pi it works and mac terminal also see screenshots. So the next step ping raspberry.local is not working

[crystalhorizon]

Ok followed that tutorial http://www.howtogeek.com/167190/how-and-why-to-assign-the-.local-domain-to-your-raspberry-pi/

I was able to ping through terminal, but VNC viewer says the host denies 

[crystalhorizon]

That one helped http://jankarres.de/2012/08/raspberry-pi-vnc-server-installieren/

So I can now use VNC Viewer on my mac

@feinsinn -- in that case everything should work, I am assuming you are replacing RPI_HOST_IP with 192.168.0.1

--8

[crystalhorizon]

Ok to be clear:

In Raspberry Pi I put:

raspivid -o - -t 9999999 |cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:192.168.0.1/}' :demux=h264

And in GStreamer:

rtsp:192.168.0.1

[eight]

@fiensinn: Can't check at the moment, but I think GStreamer string should be

rtsp://192.168.0.1:8554/

@eight would love to try this with youtube. Than kyou very much for your time and your effort with this cool plugin.

[DusX]

Sorry I haven't been able to get into this yet..

@eight - thanks for developing this awesome tool!

Testing now and the bunny video stream worked fine (along with other test streams), so everything seems to be installed right- however I can't get a youtube stream to work. Tried removing 's' in the https, tried using different versions of embed url- nada. What's the secret? (@feinsinn - you also got it right away?).

This leads me to suggest one feature for the plugin- is it possible to have some text debugging output from the plugin? Info to know if an url is loading, failed to load/why, buffering.. etc.

example youtube url I've tried to load: 

https://

www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqSvkNjWnnQ

*forum is automatically embedding youtube instead of displaying url.. so added break after https://

[crystalhorizon]

youtube stream worked fine

[FFD8]

are you simply typing in the url like above, nothing else? is there a command required in front of it? just tried loading through VPN, restarting, nada. also running 10.9.5, izzy 2.0.5 and other streams work without a problem...

[eight]

@FFD8: That url is a youtube page url, not the video stream url. You have to get the latter in order to be able to use it in the plugin. There are a few ways to achieve this, one is to use livestreamer http://livestreamer.tanuki.se/en/latest/install.html
