Error -104 while writing interleaved audio frame

[jmbernal]

Hello all.

I am trying to streaming video with ffmpeg from android (using RecordActivity.java) to ffserver.

My ffserver.conf is:

HTTPPort 8090
HTTPBindAddress 0.0.0.0
MaxHTTPConnections 2000
MaxClients 5
MaxBandwidth 10000
CustomLog -

<Feed feed1.ffm>
    File /tmp/feed1.ffm
    FileMaxSize 20M
</Feed>

<Stream live.flv>
    Feed feed1.ffm
    Format mpeg
    AudioBitRate 64
    AudioChannels 2
    AudioSampleRate 44100
    VideoBitRate 128
    VideoFrameRate 30
    VideoSize 320x240
    NoAudio
</Stream>

Then, when I try to record recorderStreaming.recordSamples(audioData), the exception is throw:

11-04 12:21:13.222 19213-19715/recordactivity.javacv.bytedeco.org.recordactivity W/System.err: org.bytedeco.javacv.FrameRecorder$Exception: av_interleaved_write_frame() error -104 while writing interleaved audio frame.

If I use ffmpeg command, I can stream video, and I can play it with ffplay.

Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance

[saudet]

Could you try with an unmodified version of the RecordActivity.java sample?

If you still get an error with the original version, could you call FFmpegLogCallback.set() and copy/paste what you get in the Android log? Thanks

[jmbernal]

Thanks, saudet.

Original RecordActivity.java? it write video on the SDCard, but I need to send to ffserver. If I change 'ffmpeg_link= "/mnt/sdcard/stream.flv"' for 'ffmpeg_link= "http://192.168.26.162:8090/feed1.ffm"', it doesn't work either. Now, I only have error pressing Stop button, like this:

I use too ffserver -d and ffplay http://192.168.26.162:8090/live.flv. After pressing Stop button, if I close server, ffplay windows shows:
http://192.168.26.162:8090/live.flv: Invalid data found when processing input

[saudet]

It looks like your app isn't writing enough audio frames or enough video frames. This is only a guess, but it may help to write a dummy video frame just before calling stop().

[jmbernal]

I have found one error in my code. I was streaming to http://192.168.26.162:8090/live.flv and I have to use http://192.168.26.162:8090/feed1.ffm. Now, the log is a bit different.

What way I have to choose?

[saudet]

Do you get the same thing when using ffmpeg on the command line?

[jmbernal]

Absolutely not. If I use ffserver -d -f /etc/ffserver.conf, ffmpeg -f v4l2 -s 320x240 -r 25 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0 http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm and ffplay http://localhost:8090/live.flv, I can see correctly the video.

[saudet]

So let's see. Which codecs is ffmpeg using in that case? Have you tried to use those same audio and video codecs with FFmpegFrameRecorder? And have you tried to setFormat("ffm")?

Also, does the same thing happen with FFmpegFrameRecorder on the desktop? Or does it happen only on Android?

[jmbernal]

The codecs in the ffserver.conf? Always are the same:

<Stream live.mpeg>
    Feed feed1.ffm
    Format ffm
......
    AudioCodec mp2
    VideoCodec mpeg2video
......

Now, I tried to use recorder.setFormat("ffm"). I need to use VideoCodec mpeg1video. I can see just the first seconds of the video. Server window shows:

Mon Nov 16 14:53:11 2015 Error writing frame to output for stream 'live.mpeg': Invalid argument

And ffplay window shows:

now, it's very close!!!

You might want to try with a codec that is a bit more resistant to corrupted data than mpeg2video, such as h264 maybe...

[jmbernal]

If I use VideoCodec h264 in ffserver.conf, when I start ffserver, I get this error:

/etc/ffserver.conf:33: Invalid codec name: 'h264'
/etc/ffserver.conf:40: Setting default value for audio bit rate = 64000. Use NoDefaults to disable it.
/etc/ffserver.conf:40: Setting default value for video bit rate tolerance = 21333. Use NoDefaults to disable it.
/etc/ffserver.conf:40: Setting default value for video rate control equation = tex^qComp. Use NoDefaults to disable it.
/etc/ffserver.conf:40: Setting default value for video max rate = 128000. Use NoDefaults to disable it.
Error reading configuration file '/etc/ffserver.conf': Invalid argument

So, I'm trying with h263 or mpeg1video, it occurs strange things: I start ffplay and nothing happends. But, if I stop streaming from android, suddenly it is opened a video window (from ffplay) and I can see a few seconds of the video, not full video. This window shows no error.

In ffserver window, I can see:

If you want the mpeg file to be compliant to some specification
Like DVD, VCD or others, make sure you set the correct buffer size

[saudet]

Well, you should use a version of ffserver that supports h264.

[jmbernal]

This is my ffserver -version result:

Which version should I use?

[saudet]

Maybe it wants libx264 as "codec name"?

[jmbernal]

I do not understand. You mean VideoCodec libx264in fserver.conf`? If yes, I have tried and have the same result (short video after closing streaming from android).

[saudet]

So, what error message do you get in that case in Android?

[jmbernal]

Sorry, saudet, but I can not work on it anymore.
Thanks for your help.

[saudet]

No problem! Thanks for your time. I hope we can find a way to make this work better eventually. :)

[saudet]

One last thing I thought about though, according to ffserver's documentation, the "ffm" format is not compatible between different versions of FFmpeg, so we might want to try the "ffm2" format instead, which is more stable: https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffserver.html
