I am having the same problem, i receive a multicast stream from a hardware encoder in MPEG2 and using ffmpeg i then encode the stream in x264.

Now my problem was/is that ffplay works fine, no errors, but ffmpeg gives lots of errors. I added a circular buffer into the udp.c file which allocates a 2Mb buffer and this is controlled by a seperate task.

I have validated that the buffer is working and sometime i see a max level of 800k but it is normally around 450k.

But i am still getting decode errors on the input, so if i am receiving the data and not losing any why do i get decode errors?

Anybody hekp and would a patch file be os use to anybody
