Python + PiCamera + Gstreamer

[JooPo]

I'm trying to stream video from Raspis camera to my computer via udp. I'm using PiCamera and Gstreamer on python, so I can control them both directly and easily from the code. The problem is, I can't pipe the stream from the PiCamera to gstreamer like in the command prompt. The problematic part of my code is here:

Code: Select all

stream = io.BytesIO()
camera = picamera.PiCamera()
camera.start_recording(stream, format='h264', quality=23)
pipeline = Gst.Pipeline()
src = Gst.ElementFactory.make("fdsrc", None)
src.set_property("fd", stream)
pipeline.add(src)

The pipe works from the first ElementFactory, I've tried it on command prompt. The camera works also. The question is, how can I stream the video from PiCamera in a way, that I can read it with Gstreamer and stream is forward?

No experience with PiCamera or Gstreamer unfortunately. As a last resort you could maybe look at running your command prompt incantations using subprocess?
