Describe how to replicate the issue

Hi,

I starting docker :

docker run --rm -it --network=host bluenviron/mediamtx:latest

and publishing the video :

ffmpeg -re -stream_loop -1 -i /home/acc//4K_1920.ts -c copy -f rtsp -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://localhost:8554/mystream

I can see with ffplay but it waits 5-10 seconds to start.

on the other hand I cant connect through c++ openCV cap.open..

the c++ code connect normal camera rtsp but cant connect rtsp://localhost:8554/mystream .

Best

Hello, the problem is explained in the log returned by OpenCV:

[ WARN:4] global ./modules/videoio/src/cap_gstreamer.cpp (963) open OpenCV | GStreamer warning: cannot find appsink in manual pipeline

There's an error inside your OpenCV script (which you have not posted) that is preventing OpenCV to correctly interact with any RTSP server. This is not bound to this specific server.
