Transcoding and Streaming with ffmpeg
By chimo on (updated on )
Another note-to-self to document the commands I'm using to transcode video
files from the desktop and stream it to the raspberrypi.
On the desktop:
[chimo@desktop ~]$ ffmpeg -i S05E01.mkv -map 0 -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -vf \
format=yuv420p -c:a copy -f matroska "tcp://0.0.0.0:1234?listen"
On the raspberrypi:
[chimo@raspberrypi ~]$ /usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/ffplay tcp://desktop:1234 \
-vf scale=1920:1080 -- :0 -nolisten tcp vt1
