Installing GStreamer

Install GStreamer and GStreamer development from https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/

Make sure when install that you do a full install, the standard install is missing important elements like x264enc

Discovering available devices:

Run the command gst-device-monitor-1.0 to discover available devices. A sample output of the command looks like following:

Start sample application to send video stream to KVS using gstreamer plugin by executing the following command:

  1. Before running the demo applications, set the environment by following the instructions below.
set GST_PLUGIN_PATH=C:\Users\<myuser>\Downloads\amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-cpp\build

2.1 Use gst-launch-1.0 to send video to Kinesis Video Streams

Example:

gst-launch-1.0 ksvideosrc do-timestamp=TRUE ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480,framerate=30/1 ! videoconvert ! x264enc bframes=0 key-int-max=45 bitrate=512 ! video/x-h264,profile=baseline,stream-format=avc,alignment=au ! kvssink stream-name="stream-name" access-key="YourAccessKeyId" secret-key="YourSecretAccessKey"

Note: If you are using IoT credentials then you can pass them as parameters to the gst-launch-1.0 command

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="rtsp://YourCameraRtspUrl" short-header=TRUE ! rtph264depay ! video/x-h264, format=avc,alignment=au ! h264parse ! kvssink stream-name="iot-stream" iot-certificate="iot-certificate,endpoint=endpoint,cert-path=/path/to/certificate,key-path=/path/to/private/key,ca-path=/path/to/ca-cert,role-aliases=role-aliases"

2.2 Use gst-launch-1.0 to send audio and raw video to Kinesis Video Streams

gst-launch-1.0 -v ksvideosrc ! videoconvert ! x264enc bframes=0 key-int-max=45 bitrate=512 tune=zerolatency ! video/x-h264,profile=baseline,stream-format=avc,alignment=au ! kvssink name=sink stream-name="stream-name" access-key="YourAccessKeyId" secret-key="YourSecretAccessKey" wasapisrc device="\{0.0.1.00000000\}.\{f1245929-0c97-4389-9c28-1ca9cb01576b\}" ! audioconvert ! avenc_aac ! queue ! sink.

2.3 Use gst-launch-1.0 to send audio and h264 encoded video to Kinesis Video Streams

gst-launch-1.0 -v ksvideosrc ! h264parse ! video/x-h264,stream-format=avc,alignment=au ! kvssink name=sink stream-name="stream-name" access-key="YourAccessKeyId" secret-key="YourSecretAccessKey" wasapisrc device="\{0.0.1.00000000\}.\{f1245929-0c97-4389-9c28-1ca9cb01576b\}" ! audioconvert ! avenc_aac ! queue ! sink.

2.4 Use gst-launch-1.0 command to upload file that contains both audio and video. Note that video should be H264 encoded and audio should be AAC encoded.

Running the gst-launch-1.0 command to upload MKV file that contains both audio and video.
gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location="YourAudioVideo.mkv" ! matroskademux name=demux ! queue ! h264parse ! kvssink name=sink stream-name="my_stream_name" access-key="YourAccessKeyId" secret-key="YourSecretAccessKey" streaming-type=offline demux. ! queue ! aacparse ! sink.
Running the gst-launch-1.0 command to upload MP4 file that contains both audio and video.
gst-launch-1.0 -v  filesrc location="YourAudioVideo.mp4" ! qtdemux name=demux ! queue ! h264parse !  video/x-h264,stream-format=avc,alignment=au ! kvssink name=sink stream-name="audio-video-file" access-key="YourAccessKeyId" secret-key="YourSecretAccessKey" streaming-type=offline demux. ! queue ! aacparse ! sink.
Running the gst-launch-1.0 command to upload MPEG2TS file that contains both audio and video.
gst-launch-1.0 -v  filesrc location="YourAudioVideo.ts" ! tsdemux name=demux ! queue ! h264parse ! video/x-h264,stream-format=avc,alignment=au ! kvssink name=sink stream-name="audio-video-file" access-key="YourAccessKeyId" secret-key="YourSecretAccessKey" streaming-type=offline demux. ! queue ! aacparse ! sink.

  1. You can also run the the sample application by executing the following command which will send video to Kinesis Video Streams.

    • Change your current working directory to Release directory first.

      • cd C:\Users\<myuser>\Downloads\amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-cpp\build
      • export your access key and secret key by doing:
      set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YourAccessKeyId
set AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YourSecretAccessKey
      • Run the demo
        • Example:
          • Run the sample demo application for sending webcam video by executing kinesis_video_gstreamer_sample_app.exe my-test-stream or
          • Run the sample application for sending IP camera video by executing kinesis_video_gstreamer_sample_app.exe my-test-rtsp-stream <rtsp_url>
          • Run the sample application for sending MKV File by executing kinesis_video_gstreamer_sample_app.exe my-test-stream <path/to/file.mkv>

  2. You can also run the the sample application by executing the following command which will send audio and video to Kinesis Video Streams.

    • Change your current working directory to Release directory first.

      • cd C:\Users\<myuser>\Downloads\amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-cpp\build
      • export your access key and secret key by doing:
      set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YourAccessKeyId
set AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YourSecretAccessKey

      • Figure out what your audio device is by running gst-device-monitor-1.0 and export it as environment variable like such:

        set AWS_KVS_AUDIO_DEVICE='{0.0.1.00000000}.{f1245929-0c97-4389-9c28-1ca9cb01576b}'

        You can also choose to use other video devices by doing

        set AWS_KVS_VIDEO_DEVICE='\\?\usb#vid_05c8&pid_038e&mi_00#6&20a8b444&0&0000#{6994ad05-93ef-11d0-a3cc-00a0c9223196}\global'

        If no AWS_KVS_VIDEO_DEVICE environment variable was detected, the sample app will use the default device. Also note that gst-device-monitor-1.0 output device paths that contain escape characters. Before assigning the device paths to the environment variables, they need to be unescaped as shown in the example. Also note that single quote is used to pass the exact string. Any misconfiguration of devices in windows will cause a segmentation fault.

      • Run the demo

        • Example:
          • Run the sample demo application for sending webcam audio and video by executing kinesis_video_gstreamer_audio_video_sample_app.exe my-test-stream or
          • Run the sample application for sending a MKV, MP4 or TS, file containing H264 video and AAC audio by executing kinesis_video_gstreamer_audio_video_sample_app.exe my-test-stream </path/to/file.mkv>

Running sample applications for sending H264 video files to KVS

  • Change your current working directory to Release directory first.

    • cd C:\Users\<myuser>\Downloads\amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-cpp\build
    • export your access key and secret key by doing:
    set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YourAccessKeyId
set AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YourSecretAccessKey

  • Run the demo

    • Example:
      • The sample application kinesis_video_cproducer_video_only_sample sends h264 video frames inside the folder C:\Users<myuser>\Downloads\kinesis-video-c-producer\samples\h264SampleFrames to KVS. The following command sends the video frames in a loop for ten seconds to KVS. kinesis_video_cproducer_video_only_sample.exe YourStreamName 10, or
      • If you want to send H264 files from another folder (MyH264FramesFolder) you can run the sample with the following arguments kinesis_video_cproducer_video_only_sample.exe YourStreamName 10 <PathToMyH264FramesFolder>
