We have an mjpeg video, obtained from the webcam and stored into *.avi file, still encoded as mjpeg.
We need to restream this file as rtsp (and stil preserve the mjpeg there, i.e. no decoding). The goal is to emulate the webcam this video was obtained from for the software that processes the video. The file can be open with vlc/ffplay with no problems. The ffmpeg behaves like it is streaming it, however, ffplay/vlc can't open this stream.
We tried to stream if with gstreamer.
1) we fount no free rtsp sink element for gstreamer pipeline. So, is there a free analogue for rtspsink to launch this pipeline with gst-launch? we need and only cast, so we don't need so advanced element as rtspsink is.
2) we also tried to build own simple rtsp server as described in http://weeklybuild.com/2013/01/creating-an-rtsp-stream-with-gstreamer/
replacing videotestsrc with filesrc; but what kind of elements we should use there? usage of an only filesrc doesn't help; we get the same problem as if we stream with ffmpeg. But what kind of lements we need there, if we dont' wan to decode/encode it, just to stream the file (to reproduce the thing what the webcam actually does).

And everything is okay when I try gstreamer server built as in example, i.e. using videotestsrc
