Why can I play the http stream using ffplay inside the container, but it fails to execute after setting it up with DeepStream?
Error message:

It looks like your http stream requires a username and password, right?

gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=http://user:passwd%40ip/video.mp4 ! fakesink

Please escape special characters

When I use ffplay to play the stream, no password is required because it hasn’t been set.
I can play it normally using ffplay http://admin:@11.77.17.246/video2.mp4.

This is a feature of gstreamer. The fact that ffplay can play the file does not mean anything.

6

So, does the fact that ffplay can play the stream not necessarily mean GStreamer supports the same format?
The stream itself does not have a password set, so does this mean the HTTP stream cannot be played without a password?
This is because I can successfully execute it in DeepStream using its RTSP format: rtsp://admin:@11.77.17.246/video2.mp4.

ffplay base on ffmpeg, and gstreamer are implemented independently

I can play it normally using the following command， I added a username but not a password
tiny-http-server does not support range requests, so it can only support playing .h264

pip install -U tiny-http-server

tiny-http-server --bind 0.0.0.0 --auth admin: --directory /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream/samples/streams/

gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=http://admin:@127.0.0.1:8000/sample_720p.h264 ! fakesink

souphttpsrc/rtspsrc have different implementations.

This is actually a gstreamer issue. Which version of gstreamer did you install? I use version 1.20.3.

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore. Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one. Thanks
