### Play an RTMP stream
To play from RTMP server, at the path `/live/x`, with the server name in the environment variable `RTMP_SERVER`:
To play from RTMP server, playbin can be used (as with files and HLS streams):
```
gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri='rtmp://$RTMP_SERVER/live/x' ! \
videoconvert ! videorate ! videoscale ! videoconvert ! \
video/x-raw, format=BGRA, pixel-aspect-ratio=1/1, interlace-mode=progressive,framerate=24/1, width=640, height=360 ! \
autovideosink
gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=$RTMP_SRC
```
Russia Today is available over RTMP at `https://rtmp.api.rt.com/hls/rtdru360.m3u8`. So you can watch it with:
A test RTMP stream is available at `rtmp://184.72.239.149/vod/BigBuckBunny_115k.mov` which serves as a useful example:
```
gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri='https://rtmp.api.rt.com/hls/rtdru360.m3u8' ! \
videoconvert ! videorate ! videoscale ! videoconvert ! \
video/x-raw, format=BGRA, pixel-aspect-ratio=1/1, interlace-mode=progressive,framerate=24/1, width=640, height=360 ! \
autovideosink
gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri='rtmp://184.72.239.149/vod/BigBuckBunny_115k.mov'
```
### Stream TO an RTMP server
At the path '/live/x', with the server name in the environment variable `RTMP_SERVER`:
Instead of using `playbin`, it's possible to get video only with `uridecodebin` then shown with `autovideosink`:
```
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc \
is-live=true ! queue ! x264enc ! flvmux name=muxer ! \
rtmpsink location='rtmp://$RTMP_SERVER/live/x'
gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=$RTMP_SRC ! autovideosink
```
Or as a step further we can split out into the source and decode too. This does video:
```
gst-launch-1.0 rtmpsrc location=$RTMP_SRC ! decodebin ! autovideosink
```
and this does the audio:
```
gst-launch-1.0 rtmpsrc name=rtmpsrc location=$RTMP_SRC ! decodebin ! \
queue ! audioconvert ! autoaudiosink
```
We can vget flvdemux to pull out the audio:
```
gst-launch-1.0 rtmpsrc location=$RTMP_SRC ! \
flvdemux name=t t.audio ! decodebin ! autoaudiosink
```
Incidentally, all of these work with a direct flv file:
```
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location="/Users/clarkm22/workspace/silver/assets/test.flv" ! \
flvdemux name=t t.audio ! decodebin ! autoaudiosink
```
If you want to use `flvdemux` to do the video, you need to capture the audio too or else it will fail. This example puts it in `fakesink` which is basically discarding it:
```
gst-launch-1.0 rtmpsrc location="$RTMP_SRC" ! \
flvdemux name=demux \
demux.audio ! queue ! decodebin ! fakesink \
demux.video ! queue ! decodebin ! autovideosink
```
You could then use this to capture the RTMP as an MP4, e.g.
```
gst-launch-1.0 -e rtmpsrc location="$RTMP_SRC" ! \
flvdemux name=demux \
demux.audio ! queue ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! faac bitrate=32000 ! mux. \
demux.video ! queue ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! x264enc speed-preset=superfast tune=zerolatency psy-tune=grain sync-lookahead=5 bitrate=480 key-int-max=50 ref=2 ! mux. \
mp4mux name=mux ! filesink location="out.mp4"
```
