Can play RTSP stream with VLC but not gstreamer












0














Context:



-On a VM running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (with beaver GUI)



-Only basic gstreamer is installed (no ugly plugins)



-Closed its firewall:



$ sudo ufw disable



-Closed firewall of my main computer running the vm also (Windows 10)(plz don't hate me)



-Installed vlc via snap:



$ sudo snap install vlc



-The RTSP stream link I'm using looks like:



rtsp://user:password123@192.168.10.116:554/videoMain



Question:



I can open my RTSP stream and view it using the "Open Network Stream" dialog of VLC:
enter image description here



When I try to open the same RTSP stream with gstreamer



$ gst-launch-1.0 rtsp://user:password123@192.168.10.116:554/videoMain



I get errors...



Could not write to resource
enter image description here



Why can't I open my stream with gstreamer?



Note: Opening the RTSP stream with VLC takes at least 5-10 seconds... I don't know if this info is helpful, but there you have it.
