Mosaic, no audio?

[rv888]

I'm attempting to use Mosaic to stream 2 files back to back. File 1 will play perfectly fine and with audio. Once that video ends, File 2 starts to play but without any audio.

Checking the debug, I see the following error appear when the 2nd file begins to play: "main private error: cannot add a new stream (unsupported while muxing to this format). You can try increasing sout-mux-caching value"

So I tried to do what it said. I went as far as chaning this value to 500000 (from it's default of 1000 - I believe). It didn't help. I've read over a number of posts, rechecked what I'm doing against other people's sample code and still can'tr figure it out. I've tried changing the muxer too. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I use SVN 0.9.0

Eh, its because they are flv files. Using two mpgs worked just fine. Any way to get around this problem?

Hi rv888,

How did you do the mosaic? What you want to do is like the PIP function at some tv?

[rv888]

I had read on this forum, that you can use the Mosaic feature to basically "fake" a stream like a TV channel. You can bridge one file to the next by using the Mosaic with 1 constant tile with a fake image as a bridge.

This worked to a certain degree for me. But I found if I tried to play to FLVs back to back, the second one wouldn't have audio. If I attempted this using say two mpgs, it would work just fine.

It seems the currently release can't bridge FLVs properly.

What audio codecs do your FLVs use? Could you paste the full debug output from VLC?

I use v0.8.6 and i have the same problem.

FLVs usually have mp3 audio. Newer ones can have AAC as well.
