How to start the server in the backgroud?

[pteran2403]

Hi @prabhakar-sivanesan Awesome project,
I have a question, I noticed the RTSP stream only starts when a connection is made. For example, only starts when I connect to the stream via VLC and stops when I stop the stream (or close VLC).
How can I make the rtsp server run in the backgroud without having to open VLC?

I added the following line but doesn't seem to make a difference:
.set_state(Gst.State.PLAYING)

Hi @pteran2403,

You can run this python script to start the server and stearm the data. You can also run this as a system service or cron job in the backgroud.

I am running it in the background as a service but I would like to keep the RTSP running in the background without the need of calling the rtsp. I know I have to so add a ( udpsrc port=5400 name=pay0 caps=\"application/x-rtp, media=video, clock-rate=90000, encoding-name=(string)H264, payload=96 \ but I dont know where to put my opencv injector code

I tried:

import gi
gi.require_version('Gst', '1.0')
gi.require_version('GstRtspServer', '1.0')
from gi.repository import Gst, GstRtspServer, GLib, GObject
Gst.init([])


def create_rtsp_server():
    server = GstRtspServer.RTSPServer.new()
    server.set_property("service", "8554")
    server.attach(None)

    factory = GstRtspServer.RTSPMediaFactory.new()

    pipeline = "( udpsrc port=5400 name=pay0 caps=\"application/x-rtp, media=video, clock-rate=90000, encoding-name=(string)H264, payload=96 \" )"
    factory.set_launch(pipeline)
    factory.set_shared(True)
    server.get_mount_points().add_factory("/stream", factory)


def process_video(path):
    pipeline = Gst.parse_launch(f" filesrc location={path} \
                                ! decodebin \
                                ! nvvideoconvert \
                                ! nvv4l2h264enc \
                                ! h264parse \
                                ! rtph264pay \
                                ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5400 sync=true async=false ")

    create_rtsp_server()
    pipeline.set_state(Gst.State.PLAYING)
    loop = GLib.MainLoop.new(None, False)
    loop.run()


process_video("path/to/mp4/video.mp4")
