gstreamer pipeline to play remote files over ssh?

potuz · 03-01-2010, 10:02 PM

Hello list, is there a way of using a remote uri for gst-launch to play a file in a remote server (say connected over sftp)?

I've tried a couple of filesrc location=host:///.... and filesrc location=sftp://host...

to no avail.

Thanks,

R.

Have you considered mounting the remote directory with sshfs? Then to gstreamer (or any other program for that matter) it will just look like a local file.

Mount:

Code:

mkdir /home/me/import/media
sshfs host:/home/me/media /home/me/import/media

Unmount

Code:

fusermount -u /home/me/import/media

That's the way I am doing it now... I was hoping there's a gstreamer plugin to deal with remote locations over different protocols, something like playbin uri=http:///....
