[FFmpeg-user] [Libav-user] RTMP issue

[william keeling]

I already have that code

if (flv_frmtctx->oformat->flags & AVFMT_GLOBALHEADER) {
     h264_codec_ctx->flags |= AV_CODEC_FLAG_GLOBAL_HEADER;}

Keep the ideas coming

Thanks

Have you confirmed that the H.264 stream produced by the hardware encoder can actually be decoded by Youtube?  Some of these hardware encoders use non-standard/less-common options that might cause problems with a streaming service.  Since you're using "-vcodec copy" you're essentially just passing through the NAL stream from the hardware encoder unmodified.

I would suggest trying it with an H.264 stream that isn't the output of the hardware encoder, just to see if this is really a problem with the RTMP as opposed to the H.264 stream contained within it.

Hi all,

My guess is that your header information is not properly set. This will cause YouTube or Twitch to not decode the stream. Twitch has much better tools to diagnose these kinds of problems.
Make sure that you have this code before you call the avcodec_open2:

if (oc->ofmt_ctx->oformat->flags & AVFMT_GLOBALHEADER){
         enc_ctx->flags |= AV_CODEC_FLAG_GLOBAL_HEADER;
}
