Hello, this is my first post, thank you in advance for your help!
Currently I have two setups:
- KMS 6.7.0, built from source, on Ubuntu 14
- KMS 6.6.2, installed from repository, on Ubuntu 16

I have some rtsp sources (cameras) streaming H264 content. Enabling the VP8 transcoding works well with both Chrome and Firefox. But: I am required to lower the server side hardware needs, and then I need to disable the VP8/9 transcoding. Now the issue: I commented the VP8 section in the SdpEndpoint.json, then I forced the pipeline to use encoded media (useEncodedMedia: true), but in the client page I cannot see anything. Checking the connections with wireshark, it turned out there was no UDP connection established. I have the same behavior with both the setups.

I have also attached a picture of the KMS logs.

Is there anybody who has succedeed with the h264 video streaming without transcoding?

Thank you very much!
Luca

Ok, days ago I tried this example:


it should exactly do what I need, but it simply does not work for me: the client page keeps displaying the spinner, no video stream.
The example does use the "useEncodedMedia" option for the pipeline, as I expected it should do.
Apart from that, this example fully resembles the well known tutorials.

Could you please attach a link to another example?

Thank you very much!

Best regards
