Config file sample for network inputs

[LSrt-stack]

Can we have a sample, live input config file ?
Am currently using looped file as input and pipeline config is set to live : this should work ?
Thank you

Hi, I am using the following input config to roll a mp4 file in loop and stream it to udp port. without much success, could you please help with any errors in the config file ?

 # List of inputs.
inputs:
    # The type of input.
  - input_type: external_command
    name: >
        ffmpeg 
        -threads 2 
        -re 
        -fflags +genpts 
        -stream_loop -1 
        -i ./test2.mp4 
        -v 0 -vcodec mpeg4 
        -f mpegts udp://127.0.0.1:23003
      
    extra_input_args: '-i udp://127.0.0.1:23003?overrun_nonfatal=1'
    media_type: video
    frame_rate: 25
    resolution: 720p

Please try something like https://github.com/google/shaka-streamer/blob/master/config_files/input_looped_file_config.yaml :

inputs:
    # The type of input.
  - input_type: looped_file
    # Name of the input file.
    # This example can be downloaded from https://storage.googleapis.com/shaka-streamer-assets/sample-inputs/Sintel.2010.720p.mkv
    name: Sintel.2010.720p.mkv
    # The media type of the input. Can be audio or video.
    media_type: video

    # The type of input.
  - input_type: looped_file
    # A second track (audio) from the same input file.
    name: Sintel.2010.720p.mkv
    media_type: audio

Instead of using external_command to loop an input file, let Shaka Streamer do it for you.

You can find many more sample configs in the config_files/ folder in the repo: https://github.com/google/shaka-streamer/tree/master/config_files

Does this help?

@LSrt-stack Does this answer all your questions? Can we close the issue?

Hi, I checked all the example config files in config_files : my request is specific to a example config file which streams from a network source instead of static file "Sintel.2010.720p.mkv" as in the above example.
Thank you

Hello,
If you mean how can you take an external input and package it based on some pipeline config, you can use the external command input config as the one you are using above but you need to specify the output from your external command to the environment variable $SHAKA_STREAMER_EXTERNAL_COMMAND_OUTPUT so that the output of the external command is piped into Shaka Packager.

Apologies for letting this issue go unnoticed. We are catching up on issues.

I think this is covered by #16 (comment), where we suggest adding docs and examples for RTMP. For example:

inputs:
  - name: rtmp://localhost/live/foo
    media_type: video

  - name: rtmp://localhost/live/foo
    media_type: audio
