A friend and I are trying to setup a streaming service. Our goal is to receive from an Mpeg4 IP video source (an Axis 210A IP camera) and re-encode into 3 separate bit rates. The re-encoded streams will then be served out on different ports for clients to view depending on their connection speed.
In order to do this we used VLC's VLM interface and a batch file that is created on the fly from a customised web GUI.
Contents of the batch file are as follows:
Code: Select all

One of the major errors that we see is: "ffmpeg encoder warning: almost fed libavcodec with a frame in the past".
We have also tried to rectify this error by recompiling VLC 0.8.6a according to advice given in this thread: viewtopic.php?p=95377#95377
However we still have the same error. Can anyone help us with this error, or advise on an alternative method to achieve our goal.
Thanks in advance.
