ffplayout
Help wanted
I am looking for someone to help me out in configuring ffplayout in combination with the frontend. It is not for setting up the installation, everything is set up and working. It is mainly for configuring rtmp output, preview, live ingest etc.
I can offer payment. This would be needed on a regular basis (whenever I want to make a change ;-) )
Best regards, Ron
Hello Ron, I would suggest, that we try here together to fix your problem. Then maybe you will be able in the future to setup everything by your self and it can help others to.
For me is difficult at the moment to give payed support, because of the lack of time.
Can you describe your need a bit more? What are the target to that you want to stream? What is your preferred rtmp server, also for preview? Are you ok with SRS?
Hi,
Thanks, yes that would work for me.
So I run a ffplayout server and have updated it to the latest version. Before, I used the hls output but because I want to use the new live ingest function, I have changed it to stream to get an rtmp output.
As a streaming server I use Nimble, running on a dedicated server as well. I am trying to send rtmp to that server, but it does not arrive.
SRS would be ok with me, as long as I create a) scheduled playlists and b) unlimited repeating playlists - and also be able to switch to an incoming live stream coming from my smartphone or laptop as well.
I can send you the login info by pm if that is ok, so you can take a look at the configuration?
Thanks in advance!
Just as a info: The next release will have live ingest in HLS mode to.
I think we should see first, that you are able to stream to your Nimble server, and when this is working we can add preview. I would suggest:
- deactivate preview
- try stream directly with ffmpeg to your server
- when 2. works take the command for ffplayout
After update did you replace the config with the new one? Because they are not compatible.
When this is still not working please post your output settings.
Hi,
Ok so I deactivated preview which made no change. Then I streamed directly to my server using OBS with the same settings and that works.
I am using the following output settings:
-c:v libx264 -crf 23 -x264-params keyint=50:min-keyint=25:scenecut=-1 -maxrate 1300k -bufsize 2600k -preset faster -tune zerolatency -profile:v Main -level 3.1 -c:a aac -ar 44100 -b:a 128k -flags +global_header -f flv rtmp://10.13.37.253:1935/yourowntv/eyeonlinetv
And this works not in ffplayout?
can you run /opt/ffplayout-engine/venv/bin/python /opt/ffplayout-engine/ffplayout.py -l none and post here the output?
yourowntv@eyeonlinetv:~$ /opt/ffplayout-engine/venv/bin/python /opt/ffplayout-engine/ffplayout.py -l none

Does the playout continue running, or does it break?
For me it looks like, that this issue is not related to ffplayout.
When the command from above runs for longer and don't stop, it streams some where.
You can simulate this with:
ffmpeg -v level+error -hide_banner -nostats -re -thread_queue_size 160 -i <INPUT.mp4> -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -x264-params keyint=50:min-keyint=25:scenecut=-1 -maxrate 1300k -bufsize 2600k -preset faster -tune zerolatency -profile:v Main -level 3.1 -c:a aac -ar 44100 -b:a 128k -flags +global_header -f flv rtmp://10.13.37.253:1935/yourowntv/eyeonlinetv
It was running all the time (the command), when I stopped it, this is what it said:

I tried with the ffmpeg command:
yourowntv@eyeonlinetv:~$ ffmpeg -v level+error -hide_banner -nostats -re -thread_queue_size 160 -i <INPUT.mp4> -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -x264-params keyint=50:min-keyint=25:scenecut=-1 -maxrate 1300k -bufsize 2600k -preset faster -tune zerolatency -profile:v Main -level 3.1 -c:a aac -ar 44100 -b:a 128k -flags +global_header -f flv rtmp://10.13.37.253:1935/yourowntv/eyeonlinetv -bash: INPUT.mp4: No such file or directory yourowntv@eyeonlinetv:~$
Better disable the ingest server for now, but I still think ffplayout is not the problem :-).
You have to replace <INPUT.mp4> with a real file.
This works ok with a real mp4 file:
yourowntv@eyeonlinetv:~/mp4s$ ffmpeg -v level+error -hide_banner -nostats -re -thread_queue_size 160 -i cocacola.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -x264-params keyint=50:min-keyint=25:scenecut=-1 -maxrate 1300k -bufsize 2600k -preset faster -tune zerolatency -profile:v Main -level 3.1 -c:a aac -ar 44100 -b:a 128k -flags +global_header -f flv rtmp://10.13.37.253:1935/yourowntv/eyeonlinetv
The screenshot is the incoming Nimble rtmp server
You can create a valid playlist and see if it works better with that. You can also post for ffplayout.yml here.
ok it is now sending a playlist after I put 2 videos in there and selected infinity.
Could we continue with fixing the preview and activating ingest?
Do you run ffplayout in a local environment? When yes you could expose the ingest directly to your network.
When not I would continue with the preview:
- add to your
/etc/hosts:127.0.0.1 preview.local - install SRS from source, I think you can use the 4.0release branch
Maybe you can follow the SRS install process from here: https://github.com/ffplayout/ffplayout-installer/blob/main/scripts/srs.sh. Are you able to understand this?
"Do you run ffplayout in a local environment? When yes you could expose the ingest directly to your network."
How would I do that? The settings are these currently:
-s 512x288 -c:v libx264 -crf 24 -x264-params keyint=50:min-keyint=25:scenecut=-1 -maxrate 800k -bufsize 1600k -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency -profile:v Main -level 3.1 -c:a aac -ar 44100 -b:a 128k -flags +global_header -f flv rtmp://preview.local/live/stream
You ask me about live ingest? Because your settings you post is for preview.
No I would like to fix the preview first, then look at the live ingest - so step by step
Ok, then try to install SRS in the way I wrote it. Or have you install it with the installer already?
I have used the script in the link you sent to install SRS.
Now should I enable the preview and that's it? Are the preview params correct the way they are? What should the value for the player url be?
When srs is correct setup and running, you need this preview address in ffplayout config: http://<IP or URL>/preview/stream.flv
And nginx needs this location:
location /preview/stream.flv {
proxy_pass http://preview.local:8080/live/stream.flv;
}
No luck yet, I tried several options. What would be the correct URL enter? The server's local IP address is 10.13.37.213
What would be the correct URL enter? The server's local IP address is 10.13.37.213
The correct URL would be: http://10.13.37.213/preview/stream.flv
Ok lets check if everything is in place:
- have you add the entry in
/etc/hosts - can you check if SRS is running?
systemctl status srs - does ffplayout running, without error?
- have you set the
locationin the nginx config from/etc/nginx/site-enable/ffplayout.confand restart nginx
When all this works, but there is still no preview, please post here the configs from SRS, nginx and ffplayout.
I create a documentation for the preview stream: https://github.com/ffplayout/ffplayout-engine/blob/master/docs/preview_stream.md
I tried all the steps in the new document, but still no video in the preview window. So here are the different settings:
