# Video Streaming ## RTSP Server We use the [MediaMTX](https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx) open-source RTSP server. This server runs on boot at `0.0.0.0:8554`, and uses the publish policy. Any service is able to publish to this server, which will create a new endpoint if none exists, or kick out an established endpoint. ## Gstreamer The version of Gstreamer that is loaded by default is 1.16.3. We preload the packages `gstreamer1.0-rtsp` and `gstreamer1.0-plugins-good`. There are multiple hardware-accelerated Gstreamer components that are developed by Nvidia, including `nvv4l2decoder`, that can be utilized. More information about these components can be found using `gst-inspect-1.0`. #### Example Pipelines 1. Publishing a sample video stream to the RTSP server ``` gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc pattern=snow ! x264enc ! rtspclientsink location=rtsp://0.0.0.0:8554/test ``` 2. Forwarding a stream from a payload RTSP server to the Jetson RTSP server ``` gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc latency=0 location=rtsp://:/ ! rtph264depay ! rtspclientsink location=rtsp://0.0.0.0:8554/forward_endpoint ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
