ffmpeg Question RTSP to HLS

[Brucek2839]

Ok, Here you go.
Thank you,

Thanks I just wanted to confirm that you had that erroneous carriage return after -vcodec

If you want to break it in lines this in the syntax

Code:

ffmpeg -v verbose  -i "rtsp://admin:12345@192.168.1.138:554/Streaming/Channels/1?transportmode=unicast&profile=Profile_1" -vf scale=1920:1080 -vcodec ^
libx264 -r 25 -b:v 1000000 -crf 31 -acodec aac -sc_threshold 0 -f hls_time 5 -segment_time 5 -hls_list_size 5 C:\Webpages\Video\stream.m3u8

This won't work as an extra or as a pipe though.

What do you get with this.

ffprobe "rtsp://admin:12345@192.168.1.138:554/Streaming/Channels/1?transportmode=unicast&profile=Profile_1"

Ok so you already have HD h264 video so you don't did to transcode to higher res. You also have no audio so that will fail. You can pretty much use this as the basic for your extra https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid537344

[Brucek2839]

Ok. I probably have it wrong.  But I am learning.  Well somewhat.  that is what I have come up with,..
Thank you

[mvallevand]

For the args it is close but the example I gave was wrong since you can use -vcodec copy

Then to create the extra you follow these steps https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/Extras after you figure out the args. If ffmpeg.exe is not in your path you would need to include the full path and filename in command

Before going there did you test it with this one line?

Code:

ffmpeg -re -v panic -f lavfi -i anullsrc=r=48000:cl=mono -rtsp_transport tcp -i "rtsp://192.168.1.138:554/Streaming/Channels/1?transportmode=unicast&profile=Profile_1" -vcodec copy -acodec aac -f mpegts - | ffplay  -i pipe:

Maybe your camera is different try without -rtsp_transport tcp
