Issues with Continuous Streaming in 2.0.0

[fluxgame]

I'm attempting to use VLC to convert an RTSP stream from an IP camera to a FLV stream so I can display it on a website. I'm having some issues. I'm using the following command, as it has gotten me the furthest along thus far:

Code: Select all

vlc.exe -I rc -vvv rtsp://192.168.100.223:7070 :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=http{mime=video/x-flv},mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=localhost:8888/stream.flv}}

When I open the stream with VLC (http://localhost:8888/stream.flv) I get no output. Until I close the streaming process. Then I get a couple of seconds of the stream. It's as if one side of the process is waiting for an end-point before it starts displaying anything. This being a continuous stream, that won't ever come. If I use the ts mux, instead of the ffmpeg/flv mux, everything works wonderfully (in VLC at least). Below are some logs from the server and client side of this process. Hopefully someone out there can give me some help with this...

Hi,

I am facing the same issue.

I have setup a vlm broacast in the following manner:

new test2 broadcast
setup test2 input "ducatinoaudio.mp4"
setup test2 output "#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mp2,ab=32,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8081/ch1.f4v}}"
setup test2 loop
setup test2 enabled
control test2 play

I start vlc with the below command:
vlc -vvv -I dummy --vlm-conf commandLine.conf

When I access the resulting stream using command:
vlc -vvv http://127.0.0.1:8081/ch1.flv

there is a huge delay in client(2-3 mins) in starting the stream.
Otherwise if we stop the broadcast, the client vlc plays the stream immediately.

Have you found the solution for this problem.?
I think the issue is with the ffmpeg{flv}.

Please let me know if someone has found a solution to this issue.

Thanks
Rakesh
