[FFmpeg-user] FFMPEG unable to receive UDP stream

[Varun Ganesh]

Hi,

I am sorry for sending the mail incorrectly. I am resending it properly.

I want to receive a UDP stream, transcode it and send it out to another
host. I have setup a streaming media server using vlc.

My machine IP is 192.168.1.108. I setup the vlc to stream on udp://
> 192.168.1.108 port 1234. I tried receiving the stream on the same machine

I have configured a client to listen on port 8005 to receive the stream on
the second machine. But the ffmpeg doesn't accept the first connection. I
was able to use a separate vlc client to receive the same on the host
machine.
I also tried it to send a file locally saved on the machine using
 ffmpeg -i filename  -f mpegts -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec mp2 -ac 2 -ab 128k -s
720x432 -r 30 -re -b 2000k -threads 2 udp://192.168.1.107:8005
and was able to successfully receive it on the second machine. How can I
get FFMPEG to listen and receive the UDP stream from the VLC server?

Thanks,
