In this guide will show a real world use of ffmpeg to create MBR HLS VOD stream from a static input file. The video with different resolutions and bitrates that can be switched seamlessly, this concept is called MBR (Multi Bit Rate).Ī powerful tool that supports conversion of various video formats from one to another, including HLS both as input and output. Since end users have different screen sizes and different network performance, we want to create multiple renditions of HLS is one of the most prominent video streaming formats on desktop and mobile browsers.

Now, if I don't use my Panasonic TV to access the web stream but use Kodi UPnP source (and forcing the UMS renderer to be the one of my Panasonic in order have the same transcoding behavior for Kodi than for my TV), then FFMpeg trancoding works.so it must be something with the client. If I force the ffmpeg command by using CustomFFmpegOptions in the renderer conf to be the same as for the local video file, it doesn't work better, so this small difference doesn't seem to be the problem. If I download the web video file locally on my hard drive and stream it by forcing transcoding using FFMpeg, it works and the FFMpeg command line is very similar for the working local file than for the non working web file :įfmpeg64.exe -y -loglevel info -i. I am trying to stream to a Panasonic GT50 TV some content from WEB.conf (focusing on TEDTalks contents only for now, but to be able to use YT addon from Kodi through Jumpy later).įor now, I have been unable to make the transcoding with FFMpeg Web Video worked, and it only worked when transcoding with Mencoder Web (and VLC not working either).
