Streaming videos on kinesis using kvssink

Question

Hello, I'm attempting to stream my video on Kinesis using the kvssink command, but I'm encountering an error that says "WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element 'kvssink'". Despite installing all the GStreamer plugins, the kvssink element is still missing. Can you assist me with this issue?

Accepted Answer

Kvssink requires at least GStreamer 1.14.

Verify that the Kinesis Video GStreamer plugins are installed correctly. You can run 
`gst-inspect-1.0 | kvssink`
 to validate.

Make sure the AWS credentials/configuration being used by your application have the necessary permissions to access Kinesis Video Streams.

Try simplifying your GStreamer pipeline to a basic source-kvssink test case to isolate the issue. For example:

```
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! kvssink stream_name=test-stream

```
