rtsp and segmentation fault

[tonj]

I'm running vlc-2.1.4-1.fc20.x86_64 on a fedora 20 64bit server machine, command line only and I'm trying to transcode a live rtsp stream from an ip camera to streaming flash video. The command I'm running is:

cvlc rtsp://<ip cam> --sout "#transcode{vcodec=FLV1,vb=512,acodec=mpga,ab=64,samplerate=44100}:std{access=http{mime=video/x-flv},mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=0.0.0.0::8085/zoomcam.flv}"

but I keep getting Segmentation fault. This command worked on a previous version of vlc but not on this latest version and I don't know where the problem is. I've tried removing the samplerate value - which stops the seg fault but I then get no stream. Thanks for any pointers.

update: I've also tried

Code: Select all

cvlc rtsp://<ip cam> --sout #transcode{vcodec=FLV1,vb=150,acodec=mpga,ab=50,mono,channels=1}:standard{mux=ts,dst=0.0.0.0::8085/stream.flv,access=http}'

but the cosole says:
main mux error: cannot add this stream
stream_out_transcode stream out error: cannot add this stream
and yet if I try to play the flv stream in vlc on a seperate windows machine I can see data is streaming but vlc plays no image and the log shows:
mpgatofixed32 error: libmad error: bad main_data_begin pointer
main warning: playback too late (61631): up-sampling
again thanks for any pionters.

VLC never supported FLV1 over MPEG-TS. That's not an excuse for crashing, but your command is never going to work.

I did get it to work eventually. If it's any use to others looking at this here is the command that worked:

cvlc rtsp://<ip-cam> --sout "#transcode{vcodec=FLV1,vb=150,acodec=mp3,ab=32,samplerate=22500}:std{access=http{mime=video/x-flv},mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=0.0.0.0::8085/stream.flv
