You are using a rather resource hungry codec (x264), so the more instances you run simultaneously the slower *all* of them get. What are those sources you talk about? If they are already encoded material then transcoding way be unnecessary and the copy codec, which requires hardly any CPU power can be used. Or do you want to stream *one* source to multiple outputs? If so, the mentioned tee muxer can be used in a single instance of ffmpeg. > -Original Message- > From: ffmpeg-user On Behalf Of Carl Eugen > Hoyos > Sent: Friday, March 12, 2021 9:59 AM > To: FFmpeg user questions > Subject: Re: [FFmpeg-user] How to scale FFmpeg > > > > > Am 12.03.2021 um 08:27 schrieb > > : > > > > I'm trying to run the following command: > > When asking questions on this mailing list, please do not attach screenshots > of your console output, instead post the command line you tested (without > using the hidebanner option!) together with the complete, uncut console > output. > > A few random comments: > mpegts and mp4 are not the same things. > You generally cannot request an FPS rate. > When you use the x264 preset „slow“ do not expect it to work in real-time. > There is a tee muxer and it is mentioned in the documentation. ___ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
Re: [FFmpeg-user] How to scale FFmpeg
Hi, Here are the three commands used: ffmpeg -threads 0 -loglevel repeat+level+verbose -f lavfi -i testsrc2=s=1920x1080:r=30 -f lavfi -i sine -c:a aac -ar 48000 -b:a 64k -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset medium -tune zerolatency -pix_fmt yuv420p -f mpegts - > NUL1 ffmpeg -threads 0 -loglevel repeat+level+verbose -f lavfi -i testsrc2=s=1920x1080:r=30 -f lavfi -i sine -c:a aac -ar 48000 -b:a 64k -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset medium -tune zerolatency -pix_fmt yuv420p -f mpegts - > NUL2 ffmpeg -threads 0 -loglevel repeat+level+verbose -f lavfi -i testsrc2=s=1920x1080:r=30 -f lavfi -i sine -c:a aac -ar 48000 -b:a 64k -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset medium -tune zerolatency -pix_fmt yuv420p -f mpegts - > NUL3 All the presets are 'medium' now. And here are the outputs: [info] frame= fps= 25 q=17.0 size= 124402kB time=00:01:14.03 bitrate=13765.4kbits/s speed=0.835x [info] frame= 3441 fps= 19 q=18.0 size= 192778kB time=00:01:54.68 bitrate=13769.8kbits/s speed=0.631x [info] frame= 2632 fps= 17 q=18.0 size= 147456kB time=00:01:27.70 bitrate=13773.6kbits/s speed=0.582x Thanks for the note about tee muxer, I read that it can send output to multiple locations, but in my particular example I'm trying leverage a case when I have multiple sources to be streamed to different locations. The main question I have is - what if I want to stream to N different locations from one machine? If the quality of the output will be decreasing when each next process is starting, then it leaves me with running only one process on a machine? Sorry in case I'm missing something.
