Hi, I’m new in this forum, I’m experienced with Raspberry Pi.

I don’t have the chance to test a Jetson Nano yet, anyway, I think that it’s a really interesting SBC and I would really like to test it.

I use my Raspberry Pi as video server, I need to connect several video applications to get the same source at the same time. For this, I use VLC.

I saw this post about VLC on Jetson Nano: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1056580/vlc-doesn-t-work-on-nvidia-jetson-nano/, VLC doesn’t have a stable version for aarch64/arm64 64bits.

Someone suggests to use Gstremaer instead of VLC. As I’ve never used Gstreamer, I would appreciate if anyone could tell me a Gstreamer command that does the same as this VLC command:

cvlc rtp://@239.255.42.13:5004 :network-caching=1000 :sout=#http{dst=:8080/video.ts} :no-sout-all :sout-keep

where the input is a multicast stream of an MPEGTS encoded video.

Thanks in advance, regards

You may run client commands of using rtspsrc/udpsrc.

Hi @DaneLLL , thanks, I see in the examples that you posted a lot of pipes, not really sure whether they are all needed?

The source comes from a DVB USB stick and it’s already encoded.

We suggest try rtspsrc or udpsrc. Other users may share you better/more suitable suggestions.
