[FFmpeg-user] HTML5 live streaming

Wed May 8 01:16:03 CEST 2013

Hi Hombibi,

Why are you using MJPEG as the codec? Would be an unusual codec to find in
an x264 guide.

If you want to stream low latency HLS from a local capture use something
like this which just grabs the desktop:
ffmpeg -f x11grab -s `xdpyinfo | grep ‘dimensions:’|awk ‘{print $2}’` -r 25
-i :0.0 -pix_fmt yuv420p -vcodec libx264 -acodec libfaac -r 25 -profile:v
baseline -b:v 1500k -x264opts keyint=25 -s 640x360 -map 0 -flags
-global_header -f segment -segment_list index_1500.m3u8 -segment_time 1
-segment_format mpeg_ts -segment_list_type m3u8 -segment_list_flags +live
-segment_list_size 2 segment%05d.ts
