[FFmpeg-user] stream hls from ffmpeg via media-server to TV

[Thomas Schmiedl]

Hello,

I tested with Streamlink (https://streamlink.github.io/) and Gerbera 
media-server (https://gerbera.io/), that works with my TV.

streamlink https://hddn01.skylinewebcams.com/live.m3u8?a=... best 
--player-external-http --player-external-http-port 1234

(complete m3u8 url from: 
http://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/czech-republic/prague/prague/old-town-bridge-tower.html)

Gerbera settings:
- External Link (URL)
- Title: Teststream
- URL: http://<local-ip>:1234
- Protocol: http-get
- Class: object.item.videoItem
- Description: Teststream
- Mimetype: video/mpeg

But Streamlink is slow on the router (Python interpreted) and doesn't 
exit when leaving the stream on TV.

The combination ffmpeg + Gerbera doesn't work:
ffmpeg -i https://hddn01.skylinewebcams.com/live.m3u8?a=... -c copy -f 
mpegts -listen 1 http://<local-ip>:1234

ffmpeg output:

Error message on TV is "file not readable" and in ffmpeg "Broken pipe".

Maybe someone could help me.
