ffmpeg restreaming to nginx, connection refused

0

New to ffmpeg and read a dozen of guides and howto, but still can't get it to work.

I have a Tvheadend server that receives channels from DVB, the channels work without any problem, but I need to transcode it so that U can see the channel outside my home.

I tried installing nginx+rtmp module with ffmpeg on a more powerful server (ubuntu 18.08), but whatever I do I can't seem to get it to work.

Here's what I'm trying:

ffmpeg -f mpegts -i http://username:password@192.168.0.14:4445/stream/channelid/9 -deinterlace -vcodec libx264 -vb 1000k -acodec libfacc -ar 48000 -ab 48k -f flv rtmp://192.168.0.58:1935/test

The source is a tvheadend server and the rtmp server is the ffmpeg where the transcoding is going to be done.

Hi slhck, sorry, just updated the question with more infor – hans gerte – 2018-07-17T07:46:12.600

"Unknown encoder 'libfacc'" — start with that issue. Use -acodec aac instead. – slhck – 2018-07-17T08:22:52.357

Next time when editing your question, please make sure to use proper grammar and formatting. Use the code button ({}) to format console output. Thanks in advance. – slhck – 2018-07-17T08:25:11.540

the aac syntax did work, but now i get a connection refused error – hans gerte – 2018-07-17T10:24:53.350

Well, do you have a server running on 192.168.0.58 and listening on TCP port 1935? If not, you have to configure and start the server appropriately. – slhck – 2018-07-17T10:52:51.510

i tried installing nginx-rtmp on the same server. nginx is running, the default nginx is showing. but dont sure if the nginx.conf is curret. – hans gerte – 2018-07-17T10:57:32.047

You haven't shown your nginx.conf so it's hard to tell. Look into your nginx logs — and netstat -altun can show you open ports. Note that this is not a live-troubleshooting site. It'd be better if you could show more info about what you've tried and what the problem is. – slhck – 2018-07-17T11:06:45.320

How did you solve the problem? Other readers would benefit from the solution. You could post it as an answer to your own question below. – slhck – 2018-07-18T06:34:52.403

I re-installed the nginx- rtmp module and made sure that the rtmp port was open using netstat - altun and made sure that the string of ffmpeg was the same as the nignx server. – hans gerte – 2018-07-18T07:21:40.133

The OP solved the problem by re-installing the nginx-rtmp module, making sure that the RTMP port was open using netstat -altun. He also made sure that the string of ffmpeg was the same as the nignx server.
