Code Block
languagebash
make gst1-plugins-good-rebuild

...

Here just introduce the basic usage with default parameters for H.264 and JPEG. If you need to change the codec parameters, please follow the usage of GStreamer and FFmpeg.

V4L2 Sample

Test sample(please decompress it for use):

View file
namev4l2_vsi_sample.tar.gz

This test needs a YUV source file, you can use the GStreamer to generate one:

...

The command will encode the file 1080p.yuv to a file called stream.h264.

...

The file can be played by PC tools like PotPlayer and VLC media player.

...

The command will decode the file stream.h264 to a file called test.yuv.

...

The file can be played by PC tools like Elecard YUV viewer and YuvEye.
