Av1 hls

Well, I’ve built gstreamer 1.19.2 and 1.22.5, but av1parse doesn’t work with hlssink (and hlssink2 refuses to receive av1).

However, using av1parse allows streaming with TCP and client can connect at any time.

For reference, this is the script I’ve been using. It keeps the original gstreamer unmodified, it installs in user filesystem:

#!/bin/sh

set -x

#VERSION=1.19.2
VERSION=1.22.5

mkdir gst_$VERSION
cd gst_$VERSION

PREFIX=$(pwd)

# Copy NVIDIA binaries
cp /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstnv* $PREFIX/out/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/
chmod u+x $PREFIX/out/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstnv*

# First clear gstreamer cache 
rm ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.aarch64.bin

# add new plugins path
export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=$PREFIX/out/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0

gst-inspect-1.0 --version
gst-inspect-1.0 -b

For using it, you would set the environment with:

# Adjust to your install path and version
export PREFIX=/home/nvidia/Desktop/gstreamer-1.0/gst_1.22.5
export PATH=$PREFIX/out/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/out/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/out/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Then you can stream AV1 over TCP with:

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! nvvidconv ! nvv4l2av1enc idrinterval=15 ! queue ! av1parse ! tcpserversink host=127.0.0.1

and receive with:

gst-launch-1.0 tcpclientsrc host=127.0.0.1 ! av1parse ! nvv4l2decoder ! queue ! nvvidconv ! autovideosink
