How to start live555HLSProxy

Question

I want to use live555HLSProxy to convert an RTSP stream.

First I've started live555MediaServer executable informing the stream is available at rtsp://192.168.1.2:8554 address. When I play it with

ffplay rtsp://192.168.1.2:8554/test.mpeg

it works as expected. Now I want to convert that stream to HLS to view on web.

So, I've navigated to /var/www/html and started live555HLSProxy as described in documenation page

/path/to/live555HLSProxy "rtsp://192.168.1.136:8554/test.mpg" test_stream

and it gives me such output

Created new TCP socket 3 for connection
[URL:"rtsp://192.168.1.136:8554/test.mpg/"]: This stream has no usable subsessions

Answer 1

You did it in the correct way, but you should use a supported format, or implement it.

LIVE555 HLS Proxy support only H264/H265 video codec, as it is write in the documentation :

Note that the RTSP stream must contain H.264 or H.265 video, optionally with an AAC audio track. For now, no other codecs are supported.
