[FFmpeg-user] rtsp error - intermittent

[Lee Smith]

Hi everyone, First time posting on this list.

The short version:

#ffmpeg -i rtsp://www.address.com/Auto%20DJ%20Channel%202?tcp test.wav
...
[rtsp @ 003AA3E0] Failed to fix invalid RTSP-MS/ASF min_pktsize

The long version:

I am setting up an application to switch between different incoming
audio streams for a single output.
As part of this project I am using ffmpeg to decode the incoming data
to wav format.
I have it connecting to the Auto DJ over rtsp however it sometimes
fails with the below error (and the freeze) and sometimes appears to
freeze with no error at all:

[rtsp @ 003AA3E0] Failed to fix invalid RTSP-MS/ASF min_pktsize

No data is written to the output.

The Auto DJ server is basically just a Windows media services 9.6
Server with a play list.
Each time you connect it picks a (random?) file from its playlist and
streams it to the client (ffmpeg).

The odd thing is we have 2 such servers with different play lists. One
will fail 1 time in 10, the other more like 9 times in 10 (these are
guesstimates).

Connecting to the same server using winamp (over mms, although I
belive this is the same thing?) works first time every time.

I am thinking this must be some kind of incompatibility between ffmpeg
and Windows media services 9.6 ?

I get the exact same behaviour whether I try it on Windows 7 or SUSE
11.4 on a different PC (the Hex number is different every time though)

Full transcript of a failed run below if it helps

Can anyone shed any light?


Many Thanks

Lee
