ffmpeg only vs Gstreamer solution

AdCmo — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 23:06:09 GMT

All,

Has anyone ever built a complete capture-->compress-->transmit solution on i.MX53 or similar boards?

i.e. using only ffmpeg libraries without using Gstreamer nor Gstreamer's ffmpeg plugin?

I am trying to figure out the pros and cons of using only ffmpeg and removing Gstreamer from the build tree.

Thanks,

Ad.

Daiane,

Thanks for the link. But this still uses Gstreamer for piping and all.

I wanted something more ffmpeg clean, e.g.

$ ffserver src_video dest_addr src_res out_port.

And the reciever will have something like:

$ ffplay src_video src_addr src_res in_port

Any pros and cons to this idea are welcome.

Just hoping I don't have to re-invent the wheel,

Thanks,

Ad.

HI,

I'm currently using only ffmplay, SDL only, no gstreamer. I'm interested in the comments about this discussion.

Nice to hear. We are also working on the FFmpeg only solution and will update when done.

Can you give a usage scenario for your case?

e.g. server commands and client command setup?

Thanks,

Ad.

I'm using only ffmpeg as "local" player, the movie is on the file system. I have plans to play a network steam, in the next few days. Currently I'm using buildroot for the file system and the compiler, with an external compiled kernel ( e.g. not compiled inside the buildroot environment ).
I'm not using LTIB.
The player is ffplay from ffmpeg, so for now is a really basic application. Hope this helps.
