Red5 with ffmpeg

[Ricardo]

Hi,

I was wondering if someone can help me out.

I am streaming from FMLE to Red5, and wanted to use that as input to ffmpeg.

However, if I attempt to read using with ffmpeg I just get an error about "Operation not permitted".

ffmpeg doesn't really show much:

ffmpeg -loglevel debug -i "rtmp://server2/live/livestream"

The Red5 log shows a connection and a request to play the stream, and then nothing else

There's not too much to show what exactly the error could be.

What ffmpeg is suposed to do? I see a missing argument (the output).

What version of red5 are you using?

Tiago

I have it transoding to hls (m3u8) but i get the same error whether I have the full cmd line or just the input line

I'm using the latest Red5 (installed last week) - I dont recollect the exact version right now

Please post your question on ffmpeg mailing list (as ffmpeg throws the
error). If you figure that red5 server is causing the exception, post
again here with full details.

From what I see, you are missing rtmp, from ffmpeg output,  --enable-librtmp

This is the ffmpeg invocation I use to generate the m3u8 files from the red5 RTMP output:

ffmpeg -i "rtmp://$SERVER/live/$STREAM live=1" -hls_time 10 -hls_list_size 3 -r 24 -ar 48000 -acodec libvo_aacenc  -vcodec libx264  -async 2 $STREAM.m3u8

You have to be sure the following libs are included when building/installing ffmpeg:

./configure --enable-librtmp  --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl
