Hi all,
I need to have ffprobe, ffplay, or ffmpeg to decode the stream itself and print
the stream attributes without pulling the information from embedded metadata. I
have streams sources with the wrong metadata. ffprobe shows data that diverges
by a good percentage from what is reported by the encoder settings. The
metadata reads a stream bit rate of about 2Mbps, but the encoder settings
report 800kbps. The discrepancy is too large to dismiss.
I am seeing this issue with RTMP, HLS, and MPEG-DASH streams. I read on a blog
that >ffprobe -show_streams rtmp://source will decode the stream before posting
the results. Is it possible to get confirmation on that. I am trying to
convince some peers of the importance of having matching metadata with actual
encoder settings. They are using a homebrew version of rtmp encoders, and a
tweaked wowza architecture for DASH, but the readings that I am getting from my
tools do not match what they encoders are doing.
