[FFmpeg-user] FFmpeg RTSP crash

[Yu Ang Tan]

I am trying to rtsp stream between two consoles on my computer.

On console 1 I have:

    ffmpeg -rtbufsize 100M -re -f dshow -s 320x240 -i video="BisonCam, NB
Pro" -r 10 -an -f rtsp -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/demo

On console 2 I have:

    ffplay -rtsp_flags listen -i rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/demo

When I run execute both commands, my webcam LED lights up. But then
immediately after ffmpeg crashes. Has anyone encountered the same thing? I
could really use some help here.


This is the ffmpeg configuration on my Windows 10 machine:

I tried to stream from a video file, just to be sure that the issue is not
related to the webcam.

    #Console 1
ffmpeg -i out.mp4 -f rtsp -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://localhost:8888/live.sdp

#Console 2
ffplay -rtsp_flags listen rtsp://localhost:8888/live.sdp?tcp

The output for both consoles are as follows:

The same crash happened with ffmpeg.exe, and ffplay continued waiting for
data. I tried the same commands on a Linux virtual machine, and it worked
fine.

Any ideas?
