Poor quality of video #12

Hi there, thanks for your work ! I tried your project and it seems that the quality is not as good as my previous setup with just raspivid + ffmpeg.

I didn't try to change the config, i'm no ffmpeg expert, but I used the same FPS and bitrate as the command below (that I found on this excellent post http://maxogden.com/hd-live-streaming-cats.html). Maybe we could change some default parameters in live.json, fyi my setup is this:

raspivid -o - -t 0 -vf -hf -fps 30 -b 6000000 | ffmpeg -re -ar 44100 -ac 2 -acodec pcm_s16le -f s16le -ac 2 -i /dev/zero -f h264 -i - -vcodec copy -acodec aac -ab 128k -g 50 -strict experimental -f flv rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2

Hi tiencios

Yes Sir - the Raspicam is currently just a "hack" ;-) But we added more startup ENV in the latest version. You can start the Docker-Image now with:

-e "RS_RASPICAM_WIDTH=1280" -e "RS_RASPICAM_HEIGHT=720" -e "RS_RASPICAM_FPS=25" -e "RS_RASPICAM_BITRATE=500000"

An example for a Pi2:

docker run -d —name restreamer --restart always -p 8080:8080 --privileged -v /opt/vc:/opt/vc -v /mnt/restreamer/db:/restreamer/db \
   -e "RESTREAMER_USERNAME=YOUR-USERNAME" \
   -e "RESTREAMER_PASSWORD=YOUR-PASSWORD" \
   -e "MODE=RASPICAM" \
   -e "RS_RASPICAM_WIDTH=1280" \
   -e "RS_RASPICAM_HEIGHT=720" 
   -e "RS_RASPICAM_FPS=25" \
   -e "RS_RASPICAM_BITRATE=500000" \
