Please help. Just share instructions on how to push mp4 file as rtsp stream using docker

Hello,

• You're using rtsp-simple-server in TCP mode, why? just use the normal UDP mode with this command

  docker run --rm -it --network=host aler9/rtsp-simple-server
  

  or use TCP mode by fixing your command (you wrote .yaml instead of .yml)

  docker run --rm -it -v $PWD/rtsp-simple-server.yml:/rtsp-simple-server.yml -p 8554:8554 aler9/rtsp-simple-server
  

• You're asking about streaming MP4s, but you posted a command that is intended to stream the webcam. To stream the webcam, use

  ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:8554/mystream
  

Anyway, i think that your error depends on the fact that you're trying to push a UDP stream into a Docker container, which do not work for the reasons exposed in the README. Just use rtsp-simple-server in UDP mode with the command i provided above and it will work. Otherwise, push in TCP mode with

ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -f rtsp -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://localhost:8554/mystream

[shkr]

Thanks.

Now I am running

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD/rtsp-simple-server.yml:/rtsp-simple-server.yml -p 8554:8554 aler9/rtsp-simple-server

and

ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -f rtsp -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://localhost:8554/mystream

Both commands are working fine.

How can I view the output rtsp url? Can you share a working command for that.

This is the error if I try to read the output rtsp stream to an mp4 using ffmpeg
