Hardware FFMPEG Raspberry Pi

[simonrb2000]

Has anyone got this to work? I have it all running on a raspberry pi 3. I have compiled https://github.com/legotheboss/YouTube-files/wiki/(RPi)-Compile-FFmpeg-with-the-OpenMAX-H.264-GPU-acceleration

All that appears to by running and I added the "vcodec": "h264_omx" to the bottom of camera info inside the config like the example on the readme and I get the screen show and when I connect to camera it waits 30 secs then fails to connect.

Anyone have this working?

Update:- I have since followed these instructions and can confirm ffmpeg with omx is installed yet still can't get the stream working

Cheers for any help you can provide

Got this working for a while but now on iOS 11 Beta is has stopped working. I did work in previous beta's. Anyone else with issue?

I'm having the same issue, but it occurs on both iOS 10 and 11 Beta 9. The funny thing is that when I try to access the streaming through VLC app on Macbook, it goes great! Oh, and I'm running on RaspberryPi Zero W...

Here's my raspivid command: raspivid -o - -t 0 -w 640 -h 360 -fps 30 -rot 270 | tee /home/pi/video.h264 | cvlc stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8090}' :demux=h264

And here's my config.json "videoConfig": { "source": "-re -i http://192.168.1.24:8090", "maxStreams": 2, "maxWidth": 640, "maxHeight": 480, "maxFPS": 30, "vcodec": "h264_omx" }

Only tested on iOS 11 and not working as well. The stream came for a couple of seconds, and "not responding"

Tried to fetch process via htop the ffmpeg process stoped after a couple of second also, from call of node.

Reagrdless of using omex (compiled on device or precompiled) or not

[Willian-Zhang]

I think the problem might more dues to iOS11 rather than ffmpeg. I'll test on an iOS10 later.

I had problems with this as well - wrote my findings down in a gist.

results: iOS 10 and 11 tested, CPU usage of ffmpeg ~5%, video delay ~1s

great I'd like to test it out

Mine seems to work now, had to play about with the streams. Then I have to do a whole restart of HomeKit and Homebridge. I am using the beta of tvOS also for Apple TV 4

I'm using beta tvOS as well, haven't yet try to restart it yet.

So let me confirm what you've done:

You are using ffmpeg with omex. You restarted homebridge and your Apple TV.

And it no longer fail-to-connect-after-30-s.

Is that correct?

[moritzmhmk]

@Willian-Zhang you can now install homebridge-camera-rpi to test it 😉

I'm not using video0 from within the raspberry, I'm using outside rtsp courses, I couldn't make it work, Am I missing something?

[moritzmhmk]

@Willian-Zhang homebridge-camera-rpi is only for using the Pi Camera but you can probably use the info here

[morilm]

I have only been able to make it work by using an special version of ffmpeg

sudo wget goo.gl/gMGA81 -O ffmpeg.deb sudo dpkg -i ffmpeg.deb

The information is taken from homebridge-camera-ffmpeg-omx pakage.

[moritzmhmk]

@morilm using the omx enabled version of ffmpeg seems to be the only sane way of dealing with anything that is not a pi camera

[jeylites]

@morilm

I tried running the following but no joy...

sudo wget goo.gl/gMGA81 -O ffmpeg.deb
sudo dpkg -i ffmpeg.deb

Hardware: Raspberry pi 3 model B Jessie Is there a good link to install ffmpeg on RPI3?
