  RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header

  Posted by James Hauge on October 27, 2014 at 5:42 am

  I am trying to use FFMPEG to take one video stream from VLC and send it to a CDN.

  I got the stream from VLC and can play it with FFPLAY, but when I try to send it to my CDN with FFMPEG I get the error:
  
RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header
rtmp://fmgw.sje008.internap.com/MiracleNet/live_1: Unknown error occurred

  Here is my command line:

  
ffmpeg -re -i "rtp://192.168.1.111:5004" -f flv rtmp://fmgw.sje008.internap.com/MiracleNet/live_1

  I know that the VLC output is RTP, but since VLC doesn’t send RTMP yet and FFMPEG can read the RTP protocol as proved by it working with FFPLAY, that’s what i’m trying to use…

  I was first trying to use Unreal Media Server, and would prefer to use that, but FFMPEG doesn’t seen to like it at all, can’t get it to play with FFPLAY at all…

  Any help on getting my stream from ffmpeg into my CND?

  Thanks!
