Hello, I have a large ffmpeg/ffserver media server built. The ffserver will stream files listed in a program guide to the web. The problem is, some of the files that we upload are of very poor quility and subscrently do not play. These files do have a duration and other headers but are just too messed up to stream.
My solution: To add an file integraty checking function which can tell us when a file is not going to work/stream correctly. Here is my intial direction --> if ( ! ffmpeg -re -i /home/sites/mmrn_site/mmrn/scripts/programming/media/test1.mov -threads 4 http://127.0.0.1:8090/temp_feed.ffm 2>&1 & ); then echo "Bad"; else echo "good"; fi I know this looks barbaric but checking these files for integrity is much more tricky than it appears. Can anyone give me a better direction? surgemcgee Posts: 1Joined: Tue Apr 24, 2012 2:03 pm -- Bust0ut, Surgemcgee: Systems Engineer --- PBDefence.com BudTVNetwork.com RadioWeedShow.com "Bringing entertainment to Unix" "Finding the exit without looking" _______________________________________________ ffserver-user mailing list ffserver-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffserver-user
