default files and settings -- nothing happens (black screen) about ffmpeg-streamer HOT 6 CLOSED

when I updated ffmpeg to 3.4.2 (https://www.johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/old-releases/ffmpeg-3.4.2-64bit-static.tar.xz) , things started working with default settings

so apparently ffmpeg 2.8.15 is not sufficient

Thanks for following up so quickly. You could have visited your server address and put "/install" added on to url to get option to install ffmpeg, too.

I have ffmpeg 3.4.4 installed. I want to view the IP camera streams which is throwing the same error when I used rtsp url of the camera. Have I missed something?

hi @pattarmanjunath50 . Can you give me a little more details?

• how did you start the process
• what os are you running it on
• did the test stream work
• is your ip cam publicly accessible so that i can try to view it
• did you try the test app @ http://kevin.shinobi.video:3000/

Hi,
thank you for replying.
The OS i am using is Ubuntu 16.04 which is connected to a private network which consists of IP cameras connected to that network. And I started the process by providing the rtsp url of the IP camera in the UI on localhost:3000

When I proceeded after giving the rtsp url, The console had error as mentioned above by @saket424

Since the IP cam is not publicly accessible, it didn't work in the test app.

I just tried ffmpeg-streamer on my ubuntu, mac, and windows machines and it still works for me, so there must be some setting that is making ffmpeg crash.

Did you ever try to run it with the default parameters and video stream that is pre-populated, assuming that your ubuntu box has internet access?
