Greetings all, I'm making my first experiments with streaming. Currently I do a live capture of a screen region compress in real time and save the file. What I want to do is to take that capture and send it to another machine for storage where it will be embedded in a multi-stream container with other sources.
So far in my experiments, I have a file I captured earlier and I'm streaming that over to the remote system and using ffplay to view it, rather than store it. What I find is that the quality is trashed in the transmission, and I don't know where to start looking for why. The original file is 720p screen capture, and it's crisp and sharp. At the receiver, it shows what I might describe as heavy "jpeg artifacts", that is, fuzzyness and penumbra around all the edges of things like windows and text. The commands I'm using are: Receiver: ffplay -i tcp://192.168.1.109:2000?listen Transmitter: ffmpeg -i <filename> -f mpegts tcp://192.168.1.109:2000 Since no codecs are mentioned, I rather assumed that the file would be streamed "as is", but that's clearly not the case. Can anyone point me at what I need to know to make the transmission process not alter the quality of the image?
