[FFmpeg-user] libx264 vs android 4.4

[Patrick Shirkey]

Hi,

I'm seeing the following output when trying to use ffmpeg/libx264 with
ffserver on android 4.4. I'm not sure why the preset value is not being
picked up and also how to get around the final message. I have tried
adding flags for bitrate, size, rate.

- I have tested that ffserver is working with "videoCodec flv" on another
stream.

- I'm using the following config for the x264 stream:

<Stream l.h264>
  Format rtp
  Feed feed1.ffm
  VideoCodec libx264
  VideoFrameRate 1
  VideoBitRate 100
  VideoSize 480x800
  NoAudio
  AVOptionVideo flags +global_header
</Stream>

- This is the commandline for ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -r 30 -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565  -s 800X640 -i
/dev/graphics/fb0 -preset:v fast  http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm

Codec AVOption preset (Set the encoding preset (cf. x264 --fullhelp))
specified for output file #0 (http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm) has not
been used for any stream. The most likely reason is either wrong type
(e.g. a video option with no video streams) or that it is a private option
of some encoder which was not actually used for any stream.
No pixel format specified, yuv444p for H.264 encoding chosen.
Use -pix_fmt yuv420p for compatibility with outdated media players.
