Or Named Pipes

If I tell ffmpeg that input format is image2pipe it seems to work.

looks also like a small Bug in the TranscodingService

I can see that part of the code is used for analyzing Url's. How did it end up there when extracting a subtitle?

That is strange does it also work with ffprobe? Just curious^^

According from the callstack it comes from here: AddTargetVideoFormatAndOutputFileParameters to InitTranscodingParameters and finally to AddInputOptions.

I don't know if data.InputResourceAccessor.ParentProvider.Metadata.NetworkResource is also true for files on a network share.
But maybe you could use save casts:
var someName = data.InputResourceAccessor as INetworkResourceAccessor;
if (someName != null) {
if ((someName .URL.StartsWith("rtsp://", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
{
data.GlobalArguments.Add("-rtsp_transport +tcp+udp");
data.GlobalArguments.Add("-analyzeduration 10000000");
}
}else{
// some debug logging to figure out whats wrong
}

@FreakyJ
I pushed some fixes for the issues.

Added latest MPExt from above.

I tried adding a local movie and now streaming starts but I have some issues. No sound(tried the same movie with MPExt and then I had sound). Tried both low and high quality ios profiles. I couldn't seek using the MPExt way with stop stream and continue at another duration. Seeking with the inbuild player where one seeks within the already transcoded duration and it works fine. When stopping the stream it didn't end the transcoding process so I had to kill it manually.

Logs attached

Thank you very much! I made a small adjustment which was suggested by Resharper. Attached are the new TranscodingService and MP2Ext.

@johanj
This shoudl hopefully fix your image and subtitle issues

You didn't add the audioId. I than set the variables to "-1". I guess that is the problem and it needs to be 1 or 0?! I need to check that.^^

I couldn't seek using the MPExt way with stop stream and continue at another duration.

I think this is not supported yet.

Seeking with the inbuild player where one seeks within the already transcoded duration and it works fine. When stopping the stream it didn't end the transcoding process so I had to kill it manually.

Henso did a nice job here
I think it is intended to keep the transcoding running to have it in the cache for the future. Maybe there should be an option to prevent this in case somebody doesn't like this?! What do you think @henso ?

 

[johanj]

No, the audio id was 0, see attached. I don't want the service to continue transcoding if I tell it to stop transcoding

 

[FreakyJ]

No, the audio id was 0, see attached.

I will check it tomorrow. I thought I was looking at the URL, but maybe I just overlooked it. Almost Bedtime

I also will fix some more issues I found in your logs and provide a new build tomorrow. These little errors are so tricky :/

 

[johanj]

Im done for today as well. Thanks for today

 

[pünktchen]

Where do i have to put tv station logos if i don't have installed the MP2 client?

There already is. The UseCache option in the TranscodingServiceSettings config file.

I guess that is the problem and it needs to be 1 or 0?!

IIRC the stream ID for audio is usually 1 because the video is usually the first stream.

I couldn't seek using the MPExt way with stop stream and continue at another duration.

I don't remember if I tested this. I will try with aMPdroid. BTW does the free version of MPiV support streaming?

I don't want the service to continue transcoding if I tell it to stop transcoding

Technically I think you tell it to stop streaming.
