Hi,
I am trying to build an RTSP server to stream the output from two RTSP cameras.
But when I run the code everything seems to work fine, but when I try to fetch the stream from the server with either VLC or OpenCV (entering rtsp://localhost:8554/test), I get an error.
I am fairly new to Gstreamer and tried multiple adjustments in the pipeline but without luck.
VLC says:
- VLC is unable to open the MRL ‘rtsp://localhost:8554/test’.
- VLC could not connect to ‘rtsp://localhost:8554/test’.
OpenCV says:
[ WARN:0] global /home/nvidia/host/build_opencv/nv_opencv/modules/videoio/src/cap_gstreamer.cpp (1757) handleMessage OpenCV | GStreamer warning: Embedded video playback halted; module source reported: Could not read from resource.

Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance!
