Welcome to the gst-rpicamsrc wiki!

Getting Started

Follow the instructions in the readme. If you are using the regualar Raspbian you likely do not have all the dependencies installed, and the autogen.sh script will fail. Install each of the dependencies in the REQUIREMENTS file e.g.

sudo apt-get install autoreconf

Command Line Arguments

To use the gst-rpicamsrc command line arguments, you need to put them in before the gstreamer pipe.

E.g. to turn off the preview window, and view a UDP stream performance using the RPi hardware to decode, you would use:

Sender:

gst-launch-1.0 rpicamsrc preview=0 ! 'video/x-h264, width=1280, height=720, framerate=30/1,profile=high' ! \ h264parse ! rtph264pay ! \ udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5200 &

Receiver:

gst-launch-1.0 udpsrc port=5200 ! \ application/x-rtp,\ encoding-name=H264,payload=96 ! \ rtph264depay ! \ h264parse ! omxh264dec ! \ autovideosink &
