How do I do http streaming with GStreamer?
Yes, I googled it and couldn't find an answer to this simple question anywhere.

What have you tried so far? What were your results? What are you trying to stream?– Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007Jun 30, 2012 at 19:08

I want to stream from a webcam. However, I can't find any destination "sink" for http-streaming (only for RSTP via UDP). As a possible workaround, I could dump the output to stdout and use vlc with the "-" parameter (= read from stdin), but I wondered there was a way to do http streaming from gst directly.– Jeroen JacobsJul 1, 2012 at 14:09

I think you can use new hlssink plugin
Simple pipe to test hlssink localy:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc is-live=true ! x264enc ! mpegtsmux ! hlssink max-files=5
then run vlc:
cvlc playlist.m3u8
if you want stream via net, start you web server and correct pipe:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc is-live=true ! x264enc ! mpegtsmux ! hlssink max-files=5 playlist-root=http://server.com location=/var/www/hlssink playlist-location=/var/www/hlssink
there
/var/www/hlssink is your document_root directory
and open http://server.com/playlist.m3u8 playlist in vlc
You might be able to use the tcpserversink element from the tcp plugin: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-base-plugins/html/gst-plugins-base-plugins-tcpserversink.html
