MPEGTS to rtmp stream

Report · May 25, 2012

Hi,

I have to stream MPEG -2 video. I want to take mpegts stream as input in FMS. I have udp stream with mpeg 2 video & mpeg 1 audio. Can i transcode mpegts stream with FMS like wowza media server ?

Thanks & regards,

Anil Maurya

Right now FMS does not support transcoding nor it can take mpeg2-ts input stream. The only way i can think off is if there is encoder which takes your input and publishs it as RTMP ingest. Can you detail out how you get your input - is it from some device?

I'd like to continue conversation.

Hello,

Right now i'm trying to take stream from upd://xx.xx.xx.xx:5000/ and publish it to fms. There's only one linux server. I don't want to use win/mac, it is technically really hard in my situation.

If i understand to, there's no way to use fms for this?

Is it possible to use vlc or ffmpeg for converting the stream?

thanks.

Hi,

You have to use a transcoder, which will take udp stream as input and send rtmp stream to FMS because FMS can only handle rtmp stream (as per my knowladge) not udp (Mpegts). You can use ffmpeg http://ffmpeg.org for transcoding, its opensource and support linux but don't have GUI, little bit tough. If you are looking for GUI transcoder, you can use ipvideo transcoder (http://www.ipvideotrans.com/). Its also available for linux and uses ffmpeg for transcoding but not opensource.

One other alternative, Use Wowza Media Server. It has transcoder add-on also, which can transcode mpegts and give rtmp, http...etc.

yeah, thanks.

i've already did it with ffmpeg

(something like ffmpeg -i udp://@232.0.0.12:8000 -re -f flv "rtmp://server.net/live/live")
