publish stream from camera using ffmpeg + v4l2

Wowza Streaming Engine

Hi,

I can publish file stream from my android by using this command:

ffmpeg -i Extremists.m4v -re -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f flv rtmp://192.168.1.39/live/myStream

When i changed the input device to v4l2, my android crashed and rebooted. The command :

ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video20 -re -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f flv rtmp://192.168.1.39/live/myStream

Any idea ?

Thanks

I really don’t know. What video format is the device producing? If H.264 what are the encoding parameters. This is beyond free Wowza support. It is very ffmpeg specific.

I also don’t know.

So, will it be different for every device?
