Hi, I am currently using ffmpeg with sample_apps/deepstream-app to stream the result of the deepstream_app on the custom web page. However, am having troubling with handling the rtsp output that the deepstream-app generates with the ffmpeg.

For some reason, when I run “ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -i ‘rtsp://localhost:8080/ds-test’ -f mpeg1video -b:v 4000k -maxrate 4000k -bufsize 4000k -an -vcodec h264”, the ffmpeg prints out “[h264 @ 0x55a18a8280] decode_slice_header error”…

Hi,
If you don’t make change to config file, the default URI should be:

rtsp://<IP_ADDRESS_OF_XAVIER_NX>:8554/ds-test

Please check if you connect to the URI and do streaming. If not please install gstreamer packages on the PC(Linux) and try

$ gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=rtsp://<IP_ADDRESS_OF_XAVIER_NX>:8554/test ! xvimagesink

If the PC is with Windows OS please install VLC player to open the URI.
