Question

Remote web cam stream to FMS

Hi,
I've been searching everywhere but I hope someone here can help,

I'm setting up a web cam (Surf cam actually) at a remote location with a network camera, as in it connects directly to the internet and streams mjpeg & mpeg 4 streams, because of the limited uplink bandwidth available (Quality drops considerably with more than 5 simultaneous connections), I need to somehow transcode the footage to FLV and stream it with FMS or Red5 so that up to 50 or so users can view it without affecting the stream quality.

Can anyone give me some insight into how this can be done?

I've tried FFMPEG --> FFSERVER --> FLV but the output FLV stream can't be played because it has no meta data or timecode, and I can't see any way of injecting meta data into a live stream.

Thanks,
Ivan

    ffmpeg do a right job... generate meta data are valid. You can try FLVMetaData injector for your meta but I think that your problem come that your are not putting your flv in the stream folder. You can specify stream folder and an alias in your configuration files of FMS. If it's a video, in your code specifify stream without .flv in the file name like this :

    aliasName/yourFileName
