Description Div Slomin 2005-10-21 20:45:27 UTC
Please describe the problem:
GStreamer refuses to play a RealAudio ".rm" file streamed over RTSP even though
it can play the same file if streamed over HTTP or read from local disk instead.
 Among the various GStreamer plugins installed, there is indeed one which claims
to understand RTSP.

Steps to reproduce:
Try to play an episode of the NPR program "This American Life", such as
<http://www.thislife.org/ra/49.ram>.  This file is a playlist which points to
<rtsp://a1769.v18544.c1854.g.vr.akamaistream.net/ondemand/7/1769/1854/1115330241/www.wbez.org/ta/49.rm>,
an Akamai'ed RTSP stream.

If the end part of that looks like a URL to you, you'd be right.  You can
connect to <http://www.wbez.org/ta/49.rm> directly, and GStreamer will happily
play it.

Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?


Other information:
I'm using Ubuntu 5.10 on x86 with gst-ffmpeg from the "multiverse" repository
(hope I got the version right; not sitting in front of it at the moment).
Comment 1 Ronald Bultje 2005-10-22 05:04:52 UTC
RTSP is not supported in 0.8, even though we have some half-assed code for that.
Moving to 0.9.x, where there's actual work going on in this area.
Comment 2 Andy Wingo 2006-01-13 18:58:14 UTC
Still no RTSP solution in 0.10 afaik.
Comment 3 Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2006-06-02 10:08:25 UTC
General RTSP support is still on the TODO list, with the current work being done on decodebin/playbin this is inching slowly forward.

We realy need normal rtsp support.

Bug 346840 offers a plugin to handle .rm files. 

Bug 341752 offers a patch for the rtsp element to support real servers and includes a patch for the playbin element.

Bug 341524 offers a patch that may be necessary in this context (handling of elements where the caps can only be determined while the pipeline is running).

Div, I'm pretty sure real/rtsp works fine nowadays in GStreamer.

Can you try again with latest releases of all gstreamer modules ?
Comment 13 Tim-Philipp Müller 2009-06-05 09:48:07 UTC
This works fine for me these days, closing.
Comment 14 Matěj Cepl 2009-06-05 11:05:34 UTC
Yes, I can play stream from http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1136921 pretty well.
