Jetson Orin Error with RTSP URI

[5aled01]

Hi all, I’m trying to set up a webrtc stream using the following command video-viewer "rtsp://login:pass/172.21.40.10:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0" --input-codec=h264 webrtc://@:8555/output --output-codec=h264

i got the error [gstreamer] gstDecoder::Capture() -- a timeout occurred waiting for the next image buffer. I initially suspected an issue with the RTSP link structure due to a previous problem related to having gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly installed, but after removing gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly, I’m now facing a different error in videoOutput :

I’ve also tried using a different valid RTSP URI rtsp://login:pass@172.21.40.10/profile without the & character, and it works fine . I’ve validated the URI using various tools like ffmpeg and vlc to ensure its correctness. However, when I execute the gst-launch-1.0 command, I still encounter the same error message.

Any insights into what might be causing this timeout error and how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@5aled01 it looks like uninstalling the bad/ugly plugins also removed x264enc - if you are on Orin Nano, you'll need that.

If you're unable to get the standalone RTSP pipeline working with gst-launch-1.0, then unfortunately not much I can personally do from a GStreamer standpoint, and I would recommend debugging it with gst-launch or posting or searching your question to the Jetson forums as general GStreamer usage. Good luck!
