#1GStreamer rtspsrc Pipeline in C++
Initialize a zero-copy GStreamer pipeline using rtspsrc over TCP with latency=100:
GStreamer C++ Pipeline
#include <gst/gst.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
gst_init(&argc, &argv);
GstElement *pipeline = gst_parse_launch(
"rtspsrc location=rtsp://rtsplink.com/live/test?token=demo latency=100 protocols=tcp ! "
"rtph264depay ! h264parse ! avdec_h264 ! videoconvert ! autovideosink", NULL);
gst_element_set_state(pipeline, GST_STATE_PLAYING);
g_main_loop_run(g_main_loop_new(NULL, FALSE));
return 0;
