FLV video stops playing part way through

Postby lazygarlic » 21 Jan 2021 23:41

Hello, I'm trying to watch a recovered FLV file, and exactly 1:16 into the 2:30 long video it stops. Using Windows 10 if it matters - Here is the debug log file contents: https://pastebin.com/gDs4wrNP

End of file detected, for some reason.
Since the file contains H.264 + AAC, remuxing it to MP4 might help to correct errors.

Remuxing to MP4 reduced the file down to 1:16 - the same point it stops when playing as an FLV. However the original recording was absolutely 2:26 long, and that's the time that gets displayed when playing it as an FLV :(

Sounds like there is an error in your H.264 stream.
Can you try FFmpeg for remuxing your file to MP4 ? It should show some error messages, if any.

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i input.flv -c copy output.mp4

Thanks for your help. Here is the output from FFmpeg: https://pastebin.com/4mwiJ4qf

I've no idea what to make of this, so a pair of expert eyes would be appericiated - The log does specify that the duration is 2:26, however the mp4 output is 1:16 long.

No idea either, I just can guess there are some timing errors in the H.264 stream.
