• ffplay does not play an RTMP stream on VM with Ubuntu

  7 November 2020, by PiotrKulesza

  I am trying to run my RTMP stream on a VM with Ubuntu installed. The stream starts on the host computer from the obs program.

  


  Obs stream settings:

  


  Server: rtmp://192.168.56.102:1935/show
Stream key: stream


  


  Obs sends the stream to the nginx server on the VM with Ubuntu installed.

  


  RTMP configuration in nginx.conf

  


  rtmp {
    server {
        listen 1935; # Listen on standard RTMP port
        chunk_size 4000;

        application show {
            live on;
            # Turn on HLS
            hls on;
            hls_path /mnt/hls/;
            hls_fragment 3;
            hls_playlist_length 60;
            # disable consuming the stream from nginx as rtmp
            deny play all;
        }
    }
}


  


  When I start the stream it connects because it shows up in netstat.

  


  Output from netstat:

  


  Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State

  But when I try to play stream with ffplay, it doesn't work. I am getting the following error.

  I have tried the following commands to play a stream but each one gives the same error.

  


  ffplay -i rtmp://192.168.56.102:1935/show/stream
ffplay -i rtmp://webapp-VirtualBox:1935/show/stream
ffplay -i rtmp://localhost:1935/show/stream


  


  I also tried VLC but this program also didn't work.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or forgot to play this stream?

  


• Capture Video with opencv, save to ffmpeg pipe and live stream

  9 March 2018, by Chris

  The goal is to stream an analysed live video over RTSP to some media server. To make the edits/analysis I use opencv, save the edited frames as JPEG in an FFMPEG image pipe and use the same FFMPEG to create a RTSP stream. Sorry if the terminology is not that accurate, I find it still quite confusing.

  I have the following code after quite some struggle:

  import cv2
  
  from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
  
  from PIL import Image
  
  
  
  # open pipe
  
  p = Popen('ffmpeg -y -f image2pipe -vcodec mjpeg -r 24 -i - -vcodec h264 -f rtsp -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://localhost:8081/test.sdp', stdin=PIPE)
  
  
  
  video = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
  
  i = 0
  
  while video.isOpened():
  
      i=i+1
  
      ret, frame = video.read()
  
      if ret:
  
          #[...do some analysis stuff]
  
          im = Image.fromarray(frame)
  
          im.save(p.stdin, 'JPEG')
  
  
  
          """
  
          alternatively
  
          img_str = cv2.imencode('.jpg', frame)[1].tostring()
  
          p.stdin.write(img_str)
  
          """
  
  
  
      else:
  
          break
  
  
  
      print (i)
  
      if(i==1000):
  
          break
  
  
  
  
  
  p.stdin.close()
  
  p.wait()
  
  video.release()
  
  cv2.destroyAllWindows()
  
  print("done streaming video")

  This runs for 124 frames (i=124) then the loop hangs and I get some message from ffmpeg where I am not sure what it is about, however it does not look like an error:

  push frame

  push frame

  The webcam seems to continue running but no more frames are pushed into the pipe. It looks like some buffer is filled or something. If I write directly to a video file instead of rtsp, it works. If I open the rtsp stream simultaneously with ffplay, it also works (although with a 5 seconds lag).
  Anyone an idea where this is coming from and how to solve it?

• ffmpeg low speed and wrong bitrate

  31 August 2018, by ngc3o34

  My goal is to compress video making it’s bitrate lower.
  For experiment I used following command

  ffmpeg -ss 00:00:00 -i V.mkv -to 00:10:00 -c:a copy -b:v 7500k -maxrate 7500k -minrate 5500k -bufsize 1M V7500.mkv

  1. What are possible reasons speed of conversion was close to 1.0x utilizing all 8 cores?
  2. Bitrate of output video stream is about 4700 (5500 was set as minrate). Is there proper way to specify bitrate?

  Stream mapping:
  
    Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (h264 (native) -> h264 (libx264))
  
    Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (copy)
