Keeping the same aspect ratio when streaming?

[nereikianieko]

I'm trying to stream from DVB-T
If I try to stream the default output aspect ratio is 21:9, but I need the same as the source - 4:3.

The sout options are:

Code: Select all

:sout=#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=20},vcodec=x264,vb=700,scale=0.5,width=320}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:1234}}

In debug I see:

Code: Select all

main debug: window size: 654x240

But its wrong as I gave 320 pixel widh

The only option is manually change the aspect ratio on player receiving stream.

scale and width won't work at same time.

This is a bug of VLC. It just not able to keep correct aspect ratio transcoding using ts muxer and x264 codec (usualy from h264 source).
The same we will get with :sout=#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=20},vcodec=x264,vb=700,width=320,height=240}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:1234}}
