Hello, Amit. I had the same problem and I have already solved it.
The reason is in new libavformat which has constants with different names.
Try replace CODEC_TYPE_AUDIO with AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO, CODEC_TYPE_VIDEO with AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO and PKT_FLAG_KEY with AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY in your live_segmenter.c source. It helps me to compile live_segmenter.

I am getting the following error while compiling the live_segmenter.c file. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Amit

Hi Bastien – Can you let us have the version of the script where you've taken out the pipe … might work for me!

Thanks, Tony

@bernhard no audio track support yet, it is something I haven't had time to really get started on.

Hello Carson

I have segmented Zeitgeist Moving forward, a 2 hour 41 min movie and get the m3u8 multi stream to play it in 2:19.
http://www.onvos.com/zmf.html
I am still trying to find the error in ffmpeg, but no additional parameter helps.
When I use the -vn trying to create an audio only stream, the length is correctly 2:41
Do you have any idea where the missing 22 minutes went?

Take the time and have a nice evening viewing the video.
Saludos
Bernhard

Hello Carson

Thank you for the inspiration to follow through and make this work. I have written a Howto for the setup of a live broadcast. the url is http://www.onvos.com/http-live-streaming-howto.html

Thanks again.

Do you have the separate audio track commando already contemplated?

@bn The required 64k bitrate fallback is indeed missing. I haven't had time to add it yet and doing so will require some work because the audio tracks aren't currently separated from the video before being segmented. They need to be separated so that the 64k fallback will sync correctly.

Hi,

Very interesting.

I was wondering about the 64k bitrate fallback that seems to miss to the yaml file (required by Apple)

Any tips on howto do integrate this ?

Many thanks

Is there any documentation on how to use this? Or do I need to know how to integrate the ruby into apache? I managed to get it to compile, but then when I go to http://my-server/html/streamingvideo/stream_multi.m3u8 on my iphone4, I get 20 seconds of choppy video and it exits.

folks,

the very last segment always misses a second or 2 (the time bar stops at –0:01) and the quicktime logo is shown.

has anyone had a fix for this? thx.
