ffmpeg can't determine the video codec #39

Apparently TikTok has changed something to their streams, because ffmpeg is unable to identify the video codec being used.

Are you using -ffpmeg or post download conversion?

My apologies. I forgot that I've modified your application a while ago, so it uses ffmpeg by default. I'm using "ffmpeg -i source.flv -c copy dest.ts" to save the stream and "ffmpeg -i dest.ts -c copy final.mp4" to convert the transport stream to mp4. This is the most efficient way to save streams and results in better PQ and smaller files as it doesn't transcode the stream but still provides "real" MPEG-4. TikTok has changed something to their streams which confuses ffmpeg's stream saving functionality, but that's not something you should be bothered with.
