Client libraries

  1. Application Server (Back-end)

    • Language: Java
    • Version: 6.9.0
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.kurento</groupId>
    <artifactId>kurento-client</artifactId>
    <version>6.9.0</version>
</dependency>

  1. Kurento-utils (Front-end)

    • Language: JavaScript (Front-end)
    • Version: 6.9.0 "kurento-utils": "^6.9.0"

When i am trying to connect a "PlayerEndpoint" to an ip camera by RTSP MULTICAST, for example: rtsp://xxxxx:xxxxx@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx?multicast=1

KMS returns the following error:

Log KMS v6.6.0 Connection Kurento IP camera Multicast

Pay special attention to line:

kms2       | 0:04:34.165887894     1 0x7fe214002230 DEBUG                rtspsrc gstrtspsrc.c:7553:gst_rtspsrc_handle_message:<source> timeout on UDP port

I can play RTSP UNICAST streams but not MULTICAST

Also i follow this steps to check if this is not a problem with the network.

  • Try to play the MULTICAST stream on GStreamer using the following command works fine:

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="rtsp://xxxxx:xxxxx@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx?multicast=1" ! decodebin ! autovideosink

  • Compare the Wireshark frames using GStreamer and Kurento. With GStreamer are not problems but using Kurento it appears that the camera starts to send data to the MULTICAST address but Kurento does not visualize the flow, it gives an "invalid uri" error and executes the TEARDOWN.

Here is the result of Wireshark packages:

Pay attention to the Wireshark trace with protocol IGMPv2, i notice that Kurento is not using this protocol.

  • Please use 'gst-launch-1.5' to ensure you use the same libraries than KMS. Also check out extended logging from using `export GST_DEBUG="${GST_DEBUG:-3},playerendpoint:5,uridecodebin:5,rtspsrc*:5"` (on top of the default line). You can use that on console if launching KMS by hand, or adding that line to `/etc/default/kurento-media-server`. I think this is the same as https://groups.google.com/d/topic/kurento/uPAZJ-WYNBU/discussion – j1elo Feb 19 '19 at 17:33
  • Hi @j1elo thanks for your reply, I have edited the question using your logging tip to get more info please take a look :D – perezmlal Feb 20 '19 at 14:14
  • I will also try your gst-launch-1.5 use response to test the RTSP connection. – perezmlal Feb 20 '19 at 14:47

Following this documentation:

https://doc-kurento.readthedocs.io/en/6.9.0/dev/dev_guide.html#add-kurento-repository

I was able to execute the gst-launch-1.5 command in the following way:

gst-launch-1.5 rtspsrc location =" rtsp://xxxxx:xxxxx@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/?multicast=1"! Decodebin! autovideosink

Then the result was as expected, the video could be played in MULTICAST without problems.

After this I found the following post:

How to support multicast network in Docker

Then I could verify that the error came from Docker, specifically the configuration of its network.

The solution to this problem is to expose the KMS service in the following way in Docker Compose with:

network_mode: host 

version: "3.7"
services:
  kms:
    image: kurento/kurento-media-server:6.9.0
    container_name: kms
    restart: always
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - GST_DEBUG=2,Kurento*:5
