Lastly, I am going to add some links to get further information. Ok, let’s start, firstly I will answer the question of What is FFmpeg, secondly, I will tell you how to get FFmpeg and I will give some examples about using FFmpeg. Since I don't really know if that's up to date, I decided to give it a try here.Before answering the question of what is FFMpeg, let me tell you something interesting about FFmpeg.Īlmost everyone, who are developing video/audio software, knows FFmpeg deeply, but If they are not specifically in this industry, almost nobody knows What FFmpeg is. I've just read in the official doc that streaming from a file is kind of broken. I don't really know what I could be missing. Rtsp://192.168.1.99:7654/test2-rtsp: Invalid data found when processing input Thu Oct 18 11:54:23 2012 FFserver started.įinally, if I run ffplay in order to test the server, everything works fine for the mpg file, but not for the mp4: $ ffplay rtsp://192.168.1.99:7654/test2-rtspįfplay version N-45656-g916352f Copyright (c) 2003-2012 the FFmpeg developersīuilt on 16:14:14 with gcc 4.4.5 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5.1) Thu Oct 18 11:54:23 2012 Opening file '/home/g/video_streaming/sample3-mpeg2.mpg' dev/ffmpeg/ffserver -f nfįfserver version N-45673-gd0c27e8 Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the FFmpeg developersīuilt on 10:36:52 with gcc 4.6 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5)

When I launch ffserver, everything seems fine based on the log output: $. Here is my ffserver config file: Port 8090įile '/home/g/video_streaming/sample3-mpeg2.mpg' I just want to stream directly from the file, without feeding from ffmpeg (no transcoding involved). I'm trying to stream a mp4 file over RTSP using ffserver with no luck so far.
