Implemented Interfaces

GstRtpBin implements GstChildProxy.

Description

RTP bin combines the functions of GstRtpSession, GstRtpSsrcDemux, GstRtpJitterBuffer and GstRtpPtDemux in one element. It allows for multiple RTP sessions that will be synchronized together using RTCP SR packets.

GstRtpBin is configured with a number of request pads that define the functionality that is activated, similar to the GstRtpSession element.

To use GstRtpBin as an RTP receiver, request a recv_rtp_sink_%u pad. The session number must be specified in the pad name. Data received on the recv_rtp_sink_%u pad will be processed in the GstRtpSession manager and after being validated forwarded on GstRtpSsrcDemux element. Each RTP stream is demuxed based on the SSRC and send to a GstRtpJitterBuffer. After the packets are released from the jitterbuffer, they will be forwarded to a GstRtpPtDemux element. The GstRtpPtDemux element will demux the packets based on the payload type and will create a unique pad recv_rtp_src_%u_%u_%u on rtpbin with the session number, SSRC and payload type respectively as the pad name.

To also use GstRtpBin as an RTCP receiver, request a recv_rtcp_sink_%u pad. The session number must be specified in the pad name.

If you want the session manager to generate and send RTCP packets, request the send_rtcp_src_%u pad with the session number in the pad name. Packet pushed on this pad contain SR/RR RTCP reports that should be sent to all participants in the session.

To use GstRtpBin as a sender, request a send_rtp_sink_%u pad, which will automatically create a send_rtp_src_%u pad. If the session number is not provided, the pad from the lowest available session will be returned. The session manager will modify the SSRC in the RTP packets to its own SSRC and wil forward the packets on the send_rtp_src_%u pad after updating its internal state.

The session manager needs the clock-rate of the payload types it is handling and will signal the “request-pt-map” signal when it needs such a mapping. One can clear the cached values with the “clear-pt-map” signal.

Access to the internal statistics of rtpbin is provided with the get-internal-session property. This action signal gives access to the RTPSession object which further provides action signals to retrieve the internal source and other sources.

GstRtpBin also has signals (“request-rtp-encoder”, “request-rtp-decoder”, “request-rtcp-encoder” and “request-rtp-decoder”) to dynamically request for RTP and RTCP encoders and decoders in order to support SRTP. The encoders must provide the pads rtp_sink_%u and rtp_src_%u for RTP and rtcp_sink_%u and rtcp_src_%u for RTCP. The session number will be used in the pad name. The decoders must provide rtp_sink and rtp_src for RTP and rtcp_sink and rtcp_src for RTCP. The decoders will be placed before the GstRtpSession element, thus they must support SSRC demuxing internally.

GstRtpBin has signals (“request-aux-sender” and “request-aux-receiver” to dynamically request an element that can be used to create or merge additional RTP streams. AUX elements are needed to implement FEC or retransmission (such as RFC 4588). An AUX sender must have one sink_%u pad that matches the sessionid in the signal and it should have 1 or more src_%u pads. For each src_%\u pad, a session will be made (if needed) and the pad will be linked to the session send_rtp_sink pad. Each session will then expose its source pad as send_rtp_src_%u on GstRtpBin. An AUX receiver has 1 src_%u pad that much match the sessionid in the signal and 1 or more sink_%u pads. A session will be made for each sink_%u pad when the corresponding recv_rtp_sink_%u pad is requested on GstRtpBin.

Encode and payload H263 video captured from a v4l2src. Encode and payload AMR audio generated from audiotestsrc. The video is sent to session 0 in rtpbin and the audio is sent to session 1. Video packets are sent on UDP port 5000 and audio packets on port 5002. The video RTCP packets for session 0 are sent on port 5001 and the audio RTCP packets for session 0 are sent on port 5003. RTCP packets for session 0 are received on port 5005 and RTCP for session 1 is received on port 5007. Since RTCP packets from the sender should be sent as soon as possible and do not participate in preroll, sync=false and async=false is configured on udpsink
