ffmpeg commands | Cell 0 | | Search

The FFmpeg command is used to stream video and audio from an RTMP source to YouTube Live, using the H.264 codec for video and the AAC codec for audio. The command sets various settings for video and audio encoding, including bitrate, frame rate, and sampling rate, and outputs the stream in FLV format at a specified URL.

What the code could have been:

# Define video and audio input URLs
VIDEO_URL="http://192.168.4.22:8080/video"
AUDIO_URL="http://192.168.4.22:8080/audio.wav"

# Define output stream URL
STREAM_URL="rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/dvqv-7eyf-72d5-vaw7-dvsb"

# Define FFmpeg options
VIDEO_OPTIONS="-c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -b:v 4500k -maxrate 4500k -bufsize 9000k -g 50"
AUDIO_OPTIONS="-c:a aac -b:a 128k -ar 44100"

# Construct FFmpeg command
FFMPEG_CMD="ffmpeg -i ${VIDEO_URL} -i ${AUDIO_URL} ${VIDEO_OPTIONS} ${AUDIO_OPTIONS} -f flv ${STREAM_URL}"

# Execute FFmpeg command
echo "${FFMPEG_CMD}"
# ffmpeg "${FFMPEG_CMD}"
