[FFmpeg-user] Live RTMP stream to HLS

Mon Nov 18 14:08:18 CET 2013

Thanks again for the help but having a little difficulty. When I run the 
ffmpeg everything seems to go ok until near the end. Here is the part of 
the log with the error. It seems to be looking for an application folder 
that is missing. Not sure what that might be, any suggestions.

(object begin)
Property: <Name:              level, STRING:	error>
Property: <Name:               code, STRING:	NetConnection.Connect.Rejected>
Property: <Name:        description, STRING:	Connection failed: 
Application folder ([install-location]/applications/iguide:1935) is 
missing.>
Property: <Name:           clientid, NUMBER:	483171666.00>
(object end)
(object end)

rtmp server sent error

RTMP_ClientPacket, received: invoke 18 bytes

rtmp://ny.premiumcdnlive.com/iguide:1935/ypb87lzx6ak05m3: Unknown error 
occurred
