This is a simple test application developed to make VideoReceiver library development and testing easier. It can also be used as part of CI for system tests.

Application's behaviour depends on the executable name. There are two modes - QML and console. QML mode is enabled by renaming application executable to something that starts with Q (for example QVideoReceiverApp). In this case video-sink option is not available and application always tries to use qmlglsink for video rendering. In regular case (executable name does not start with Q) autovideosink or fakesink are used, depending on options.

VideoReceiverApp [options] url

for example:

VideoReceiverApp -d --stop-decoding 30 rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/test

-h, --help - displays help

-t, --timeout <seconds> - specifies source timeout

-c, --connect <attempts> - specifies number of connection attempts

-d, --decode - enables or disables video decoding and rendering

--no-decode - disables video decoding and rendering if it was enabled by default

--stop-decoding <seconds> - specifies amount of seconds after which decoding should be stopped

-r, --record <file> - enables record video into file

-f, --format <format> - specifies recording file format, where format 0 - MKV, 1 - MOV, 2 - MP4

--stop-recording <seconds> - specifies amount of seconds after which recording should be stopped --video-sink <sink> - specifies which video sink to use : 0 - autovideosink, 1 - fakesink

url - required, specifies video URL. Following URLs are supported: rtsp://<host>:<port>/mount/point - usual RTSP URL

udp://<interface>:<port> - H.264 over RTP/UDP

udp265://<interface>:<port> - H.265 over RTP/UDP

tsusb://<interface>:<port> - Taisync's forwarded H.264 byte aligned NALU stream over UDP

tcp://<host>:<port> - MPEG-2 TS over TCP

mpegts://<interface>:<port> - MPEG-2 TS over UDP
