Best way to stream and record a webcam

[ichigo]

Well, this is starting to become a monologue, maybe due to my impatience...

But, in case anyone is interested I'm starting to get it working thanks to QtGStreamer which can be obtained from http://gitorious.org/qtgstreamer (more info in http://gkiagia.wordpress.com/) and makes it easy to work with GStreamer :-)

I still have to test if QtGst will compile under windows, but in linux all works well :-)

So many thanks to the QtGStreamer developers for making it so easy that a newbie can get it working in one day!

this worked for me

void gst_setup()
{

gst_init (NULL,NULL);

bin = gst_pipeline_new ("pipeline");
g_assert( bin);



testSrc = gst_element_factory_make("v4l2src", "source");
g_assert(testSrc);



ffmpegcs = gst_element_factory_make ( "ffmpegcolorspace", "ffmpegcs" );


encoder = gst_element_factory_make ( "jpegenc", "encoder" );
g_assert(encoder);





tcp = gst_element_factory_make ("tcpserversink", "tcp");
g_assert(tcp);


muxer = gst_element_factory_make ( "multipartmux", "muxer");


g_object_set(tcp , "host", "192.168.5.77", NULL );
g_object_set(tcp , "port", 5000 , NULL );
g_object_set (testSrc, "capture-mode", 3 , NULL);


videoOut = gst_element_factory_make("autovideosink", "video out");
g_assert(videoOut);




gst_bin_add_many(GST_BIN( bin), testSrc, ffmpegcs, encoder, muxer , tcp , NULL);


gst_element_link_many( testSrc, ffmpegcs ,encoder, muxer, tcp, NULL);
}
