Streamin .avi

[heiserhorn]

Hi,

I am trying to stream .avi files from my headless server.

.mkv and .mp4 work fine.

On the receiving machine I have the following message:

Code: Select all

[0x175fc68] avcodec decoder warning: cannot decode one frame (17334 bytes) [mpeg4 @ 0xbe1540] Width/height/bit depth/chroma idc changing with threads is not implemented. Update your Libav version to the newest one from Git. If the problem still occurs, it means that your file has a feature which has not been implemented.

My question is: is it possible to stream .avi or will it be?

I am seeding from a Wheezy server and receiving on a Sid laptop.

Cheers

Mike

Streaming works fine. It's threaded decoding that's not supported on the receiver.

I don't know if/when the libav developers will address the limitation. In the mean time, you need to turn off threaded decoding.

I see and how I do that?

Change the value of "Threads" under Tools→Preferences (All)→Input/Codecs→Video codecs→FFMpeg

Thaks!

I changed the value from 0 to 1 and now everything works fine.

Cheers
