ffmpeg到ffserver可以工作，但是无法查看

Question

I have a generic windows webcam that I am trying to broadcast

ffmpeg -f vfwcap -I 0 -vcodedc libx264 -tune zerolatency-b 900k -f mpegts udp://domain.com:8090

which appears error free. I can see plenty of traffic using tcpdump on port 8090

ffserver is configure on a FreeBSD server with no firewall configured

# cat /usr/local/etc/ffserver.conf| egrep -v "(^#.*|^$)"
HTTPPort 8090
HTTPBindAddress 0.0.0.0

The port is live

# netstat -an|grep 8090
tcp4       0      0 *.8090                 *.*                    LISTEN

But when I try to connect via VLC to the ffserver

rtsp://persiaspalace.us:8090/feed1.ffm

connection fails. There are no networking issues

How do I configure a webcam broadcast from ffmpeg to ffserver for viewing via VLC (or similar)?

Answer 1

You need to connect to the stream, not the feed. The feed is the incoming video. The stream is the outgoing video.

rtsp://persiaspalace.us:8090/feed1.ffm

needs to be

rtsp://persiaspalace.us:8090/test1.mpg or rtsp://persiaspalace.us:8090/test.asf or rtsp://persiaspalace.us:8090/test1-rtsp.mpg

Answer 2

I believe your ports are mixed up. FFserver is using port 8090 for HTTP, RTSP. Set RTSPPort in your FFserver config file and then make sure you're hitting the stream and not the feed (as QA Collective pointed out). Something like:

...
HTTPPort 8090
RTSPPort 5554
...

Make sure the port is available, and then try:

ffplay -loglevel debug "rtsp://persiaspalace.us:5554/test1.mpg"
