Trying to stream live TV via WebRTC

[Peter De Groot]

Hi guys..

Can I get some advice on streaming live TV.

So.. a bit of background.

I have a Silicon Dust  TV tuner that supplies a rtp video stream.

According to ffprobe I get

Input #0, rtp, from 'rtp://239.0.2.2:5678':
  Duration: N/A, start: 43387.993622, bitrate: N/A
  Program 2391
    Stream #0:1: Video: mpeg2video (Main) ([2][0][0][0] / 0x0002), yuv420p(tv, top first), 720x576 [sAR 64:45 DAR 16:9], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc
    Stream #0:2(eng): Audio: mp2 ([4][0][0][0] / 0x0004), 48000 Hz, stereo, s16p, 256 kb/s
    Stream #0:0(eng): Subtitle: dvb_teletext ([6][0][0][0] / 0x0006)
Unsupported codec with id 94215 for input stream 0

Notes

  1)  Does not like the teletext .. which is fine..

  2)  Note the DAR.. the display aspect ratio.  Basically the pixels are rectangular and not square..   Will get talk about this later

Moving on

I have OBS running that receives this stream and then forwards it to the ant media server.  Am very keen to

use WebRTC to minimise the lag..

First problem..

I can create the stream on the ant media server and then point the obs to it.  And very often I can see the video in the view link.

But it is very jerky.

But if I change the streaming parameters... and then restream....the server says it is receiving the stream, but the player says

Will start playing automatically when it is live..

The logs are full of stuff like.  ( deleted a lot of multiple lines)

^C

And to the second problem.. and after days of googling..  How do I fix up the aspect ratio of the picture...  The is a pile of stuff

about canvas size but trying to change it does not seem to help.

Snap of what I am trying currently in OBS to fix the size and judder.  But I cannot see as I cannot play it.,..

Hi Peter,

Which version of Ant Media are you using?

Best regards,

After a day of playing around ... I have got no further.. sadly.

After a ffmpeg suggestion from the support email guys..  I use this ffmpeg command to send an rtsp stream to the antmedia server

ffmpeg -sn -i rtp://239.0.2.2:5678  -c:v libx264 -tune zerolatency -f flv rtmp://e4182s01sv026/WebRTCAppEE/440403888621333407000333

Sadly... the antmedia server shows it coming in . but when I click on the play button... it comes up with the dreaded

What I have done is .... stopped the server and deleted all of the log files.  Set the log level to debug and restarted.

Then restarted the ffmpeg and then tried to viewer again

A zipped up copy of the logs is attached.  Also a .flv of the stream to a file.  Looks  good.

Please help.......... so close...

Cheers

Hi Peter,

Could you please ensure that UDP ports 5000 to 65535 of your server are open.

Then please have a look at here: http://docs.antmedia.io/en/latest/FAQ.html#id11

Many tx for the reply..

More information...

It was not the port issue.  It seems if I have set the adaptive frame rate.  I do not get the WebRTC stream.

Possibly because my source is does not fit into into one of those categories ??

Interestingly ... when I enabled HLS I did get a picture (with the correct aspect ratio)

Have put a slab of info logs, for when it works, at the bottom of this...

One thing I did find .. .and I would love to be proved wrong... is when I change the stream settings page.. I have

to do a save and RESTART the server for them to take effect...

Doing this made my problem solving a bit more intuitive..  as the setting corresponded with what I was seeing..

Cheers

Peter
