Experimental prebuilt Linux plugin is available. You still require the GStreamer run-time installed via your Linux ditribution's package manager.

Usage

This plugin makes use of the GStreamer launch pipeline descriptions. Please refer to the GStreamer documentation to understand what this means:

https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/tools/gst-launch.html

This plugins provides two media sinks named video and audio. These are the media sinks that hand over data to OBS Studio. So your pipeline should connect to these sinks.

An example pipeline:

videotestsrc is-live=true ! video/x-raw, framerate=30/1, width=960, height=540 ! video. audiotestsrc wave=ticks is-live=true ! audio/x-raw, channels=2, rate=44100 ! audio.

RTMP example:

uridecodebin uri=rtmp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:bigbuckbunny_1500.mp4 name=bin ! queue ! video. bin. ! queue ! audio.

RTSP example:

uridecodebin uri=rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov name=bin ! queue ! video. bin. ! queue ! audio.

HLS example:

uridecodebin uri=http://184.72.239.149:1935/vod/mp4:sample.mp4/playlist.m3u8 name=bin ! queue ! video. bin. ! queue ! audio.
