\ngstreamer allows you to stream video with very low latency – a problem with VLC currently. The catch is that you need need gstreamer on the client used to view the stream. gstreamer is a development framework not a media player and there isn't a way to stream so that common players such as VLC can display the stream (without users having to install complex plugins). So, gstreamer can provide an excellent low latency video link, which is great if you are techy enough to set it up at both ends, but its no good if you want to directly stream so that Joe public can see the video on a web site for instance.\n<\/p>\n
\nYou need to edit the sources.list file so enter:\n<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\nsudo nano \/etc\/apt\/sources.list\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nand add the following to the end of the file:\n<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\ndeb http:\/\/vontaene.de\/raspbian-updates\/ . main\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nPress CTRL+X to save and exit\n<\/p>\n
\nNow run an update (which will make use of the line just added):\n<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\nsudo apt-get update \r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nNow install gstreamer\n<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\nsudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nTo Stream The Video From the Raspberry Pi
\n<\/h4>\n
\nEnter this on the command lne:\n<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\nraspivid -t 0 -h 720 -w 1080 -fps 25 -hf -b 2000000 -o - | gst-launch-1.0 -v fdsrc ! h264parse ! rtph264pay config-interval=1 pt=96 ! gdppay ! tcpserversink host=YOUR_RPI_IP_ADDRESS port=5000\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nChange YOUR_RPI_IP_ADDRESS to be the IP address of your RPI.\n<\/p>\n
\nTo View The Stream
\n<\/h4>\n
\nThere's a lot of resources around for this. Seems to be pretty easy on Linux, OK on a MAC and harder on Windows. Apparently streaming from RPi to PRi works really well.\n<\/p>\n
