Excellent video, thank you very much!!! Since you're using the mpegts format, is that possible to generate an hls playlist on the fly and use the http protocol instead of udp? It could be very handy to be able to generate a live stream to test a player.
I use this (tail end of command) for a particular application (using a mapped network drive p:\ where the webserver is) and this is windows. -an -f mpegts -aspect 16:9 -r 25 -framerate 25 -s 1024x576 -qscale 5 -f hls -hls_time 8 -hls_wrap 8 -hls_playlist_type event p:\grantstream.m3u8
Hi Stef, I own a Dolby digital 5.1 surround system and I have tons of eac3 encoded movies in my harddrive. I usually convert the eac3 media files to ac3 using ffmpeg command line because my home theatre system is only compatible with Dolby Digital and not DD+. The conversion is not very convenient for me via terminal. Is there any better way in VLC or any other media player where the conversion of eac3 to ac3 is possible during the playback? If so, how can I tweak the VLC settings. Please advise.
Hi! With VLC there is the possibility to convert you media, but I don't think it can while playing. I will take a look if there are other solutions. Stay tuned!
hello bro hope you will be fine i am useing Cesbo Astra to get dvb stream and transmit to xtream ui but xtream cant get udp stream can you please help me
I see you always use some encoder. What about using raw video? It should be faster if on one machine (say from virtual machine or docket) How to do it with FFmpeg? I’m trying hard but I’m having some artifacts probably related to the color palette. And thank you for the awesome in depth videos.
Yes, I agree with you: raw video (in general, uncompressed) or FFV1 (lossless compressed) can be good in terms of quality preservation, but not so good in terms of bandwidth occupied. In fact I use H.264 all the time (but I can use H.265/HEVC in these days, since it is quite commonly used), you can customize it using the preset and the CRF (Constant Rate Factor) to give a good tradeoff between quality and stream size. Of course, if you use your application/service on your local network and you don't mind about network costs you are most welcome and I invite you to use it! But in case of using it over the internet (and above all 4G/5G) it is better to keep the file size to the minimum, at the expense of some quality loss and artifact generation (as it is your case). A way to avoid it is to play with the Constant Rate Factor (or CRF for short) and the presets (some settings that are meant to be used in certain scenarios like a film, an animation, footage with grainy noise, etc). A video upon that is on the rise! Stay tuned!
Thanks Stef. I learn a lot from your video. Cheers.

This is the beginning, I will make other videos dealing with other types of stream. Stay tuned!

Hi. Can you please help me to stream a live RTSP to UDP using ffmpeg in ubuntu 22.04?
Hi. Is it possible to stream to localhost? In other words RTSP server and client on the same machine?
Hi! Thanks for watching.
Yes you can! I guess this is what I did in the testing phase (no other machines to communicate with in the very beginning)
