ffmpeg与ffserver的协同工作
2014/1/9
ffmpeg和ffserver配合使用可以实现实时的流媒体服务,可以实时传输来自摄像头的数据,客户端可以采用HTTP、RTSP、RTP协议等播放视频流。
一、概念和流程
ffmpeg和ffserver配合使用涉及到四个概念:
1. ffmpeg,负责媒体文件的转码工作,把你服务器上的源媒体文件转换成要发送出去的流媒体文件。
2. ffserver,负责响应客户端的流媒体请求,把流媒体数据发送给客户端。
3. ffserver.conf,ffserver启动时的配置文件,在这个文件中主要是对网络协议,缓存文件feed1.ffm和要发送的流媒体文件的格式参数做具体的设定。
4. feed1.ffm,可以看成是一个流媒体数据的缓存文件,ffmpeg把转码好的数据发送给ffserver,如果没有客户端连接请求,ffserver把数据缓存到该文件中。
工作流程如下:
1、 启动ffserver,配置参数
ffserver先于ffmpeg启动,它在启动的时候需要加参数-f指定其配置文件,配置文件里包含端口信息、缓冲文件配置、传送流配置(如编码方式,帧率,采样率……)。
2、 启动ffmpeg,输入流
启动ffmpeg,向缓冲文件输入数据流,数据流可以来自摄像头,也可以来自本来就存在的文件。
feed1.ffm是一个缓冲文件,fserver启动后,feed1.ffm就会自动被创建,feed1.ffm开始的部分已经写入向客户端传送流的配置信息,在feed1.ffm做缓冲用的时候,这些信息是不会被覆盖掉。
ffmpeg启动的一个关键参数就是“http://ip:port/feed1.ffm”,其中ip是运行ffserver主机的ip,如果ffmpeg和ffserver都在同一系统中运行的话,用localhost或者127.0.0.1也行。ffmpeg启动后会与ffserver建立一个连接(短暂的连接),通过这第一次的连接,ffmpeg从ffserver那里获取了向客户端输出流的配置,并把这些配置作为自己编码输出的配置,然后ffmpeg断开了这次连接,再次与ffserver建立连接(长久的连接),利用这个连接ffmpeg会把编码后的数据发送给ffserver。如果你观察ffserver端的输出就会发现这段时间会出现两次HTTP的200,这就是两次连接的过程。
3、连接过程
ffmpeg从摄像头获取数据后,按照输出流的编码方式编码,然后发送给ffserver,ffserver收到ffmpeg的数据后,如果网络上没有播放的请求,就把数据写入feed1.ffm中缓存,写入时把数据加上些头信息然后分块,每块4096B(每块也有结构),当feed1.ffm的大小到了ffserver.conf中规定的大小后,就会从文件开始(跳过头)写入,覆盖旧的数据。直到网络上有播放的请求,ffserver从feed1.ffm中读取数据,发送给客户端。
二、配置与应用
ffserver可以配置为带缓冲或者不带缓冲,其中不带缓冲的只需要配置stream的位置,不需要feed和ffmpeg。
ffserver配置文件可以参考ffmpeg源码中的doc/ffserver.conf,里边有详细的注释。文件的结构可以分为头部信息、实时流信息、格式信息。
1、不带缓冲
最简单的配置文件如下
Port 9999
RTSPPort9990
BindAddress0.0.0.0
MaxClients1000
MaxBandwidth100000
CustomLog–
#只需要指定待播放的文件的路径以及格式信息即可
<Streamtest.flv>
File "/home/test.flv"
Format flv
</Stream>
#rtsp应用
<Streamtest.mpg>
File"myfile/testvideo/test.mpg"
Format rtp
</Stream>
命令符:
1. 在终端里输入ffserver -f /etc/ffserver.conf
2. 在浏览器里或者相关播放器地址里输入 http://ipAddr:port/test.flv
备注:1、Port为配置里面的9999,文件名直接输入流的文件名即可。
2、实际测试flv等格式都可以播放。
3、测试需要的test.flv的可以使用ffmpeg录制,命令是
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -s 320*240 -r 10 -i /dev/video2-vcodec flv /test.flv
2、带缓冲
配置文件如下
Port 9999
RTSPPort9990
BindAddress0.0.0.0
MaxClients1000
MaxBandwidth10000
CustomLog–
<Feed feed1.ffm>
File/tmp/feed1.ffm
FileMaxSize40k
ACL allow127.0.0.1
</Feed>
<Stream test.flv>
Feedfeed1.ffm
Formatflv
BitExact
DctFastint
IdctSimple
VideoFrameRate10
VideoSize320x240
VideoBitRate64
VideoGopSize10
NoAudio
PreRoll10
StartSendOnKey
MaxTime100
</Stream>
要点:
1、实时流数据配置,其中注意文件的位置,可以放到tmp文件夹下面,这样会被自动清理掉。
2、每个不同的流都来自feed1.ffm,因此配置越多的流,当执行的时候,会逐个转换,影响速度,一般不建议多配置。
3、ACL allow表示ip的地址范围,比如ACL allow 192.168.0.0 192.168.255.255
命令符:
1. 在终端里输入
ffserver -f/etc/ffserver.conf
2. a.若是文件方式则输入
ffmpeg -i/home/test.flv http://127.0.0.1:9999/test.flv
b.若是实时视频则输入
ffmpeg -fv4l2 -framerate 30 -i /dev/video2http://127.0.0.1:9999/feed1.ffm
3、运行客户端命令
http://192.168.1.230:9999/test.flv
rtsp://ip:port/rtsp.mpg
三、流的格式
文件的拓展名对应一定的格式,常用的有:
拓展名 |
格式 |
flv |
flv |
mp4 |
mp4 |
mpg |
rtp |
|
libx264 |
.asf |
asf |
.mjpg |
mjpg |
.jpg |
jpeg |
配置例子:
Multipart JPEG
|
<Stream test.mjpg> Feed feed1.ffm Format mpjpeg VideoFrameRate 2 VideoIntraOnly NoAudio Strict -1 </Stream> |
Single JPEG
|
<Stream test.jpg> Feed feed1.ffm Format jpeg VideoFrameRate 2 VideoIntraOnly VideoSize 352x240 NoAudio Strict -1 </Stream> |
Flash
|
<Stream test.swf> Feed feed1.ffm Format swf VideoFrameRate 2 VideoIntraOnly NoAudio </Stream> |
ASF compatible
|
<Stream test.asf> Feed feed1.ffm Format asf VideoFrameRate 15 VideoSize 352x240 VideoBitRate 256 VideoBufferSize 40 VideoGopSize 30 AudioBitRate 64 StartSendOnKey </Stream> |
MP3 audio
|
<Stream test.mp3> Feed feed1.ffm Format mp2 AudioCodec mp3 AudioBitRate 64 AudioChannels 1 AudioSampleRate 44100 NoVideo </Stream> |
Ogg Vorbis audio
|
<Stream test.ogg> Feed feed1.ffm Metadata title "Stream title" AudioBitRate 64 AudioChannels 2 AudioSampleRate 44100 NoVideo </Stream> |
Real with audio only at 32 kbits
|
<Stream test.ra> Feed feed1.ffm Format rm AudioBitRate 32 NoVideo </Stream> |
Real with audio and video at 64 kbits
|
<Stream test.rm> Feed feed1.ffm Format rm AudioBitRate 32 VideoBitRate 128 VideoFrameRate 25 VideoGopSize 25 </Stream> |
For stream coming from a file: you onlyneed to set the input filename and optionally a new format.
|
<Stream file.rm> File "/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/tlive.rm" NoAudio </Stream> |
|
<Stream file.asf> File "/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/test.asf" NoAudio Metadata author "Me" Metadata copyright "Super MegaCorp" Metadata title "Test stream from disk" Metadata comment "Test comment" </Stream> |
实测可行的例子
配置:
<Streammy.mp4>
Formatrtp
File"/home/my.mp4"

# Set this to the number of seconds backwards in time to start. Note that

# ACL:
# You can allow ranges of addresses (or single addresses)
#ACL ALLOW <first address>
# You can deny ranges of addresses (or single addresses)
#ACL DENY <first address>
# You can repeat the ACL allow/deny as often as you like. It is on a per
# stream basis. The first match defines the action. If there are no matches,
# then the default is the inverse of the last ACL statement.
#
# Thus ‘ACL allow localhost‘ only allows access from localhost.
# ‘ACL deny 1.0.0.0 1.255.255.255‘ would deny the whole of network 1 and
# allow everybody else.
