FFmpeg Streaming Bootstrap: UDP To Get Started! 

Thank you very much for watching! This is the beginning, I will make other videos dealing with other types of stream. Stay tuned!

I use this (tail end of command) for a particular application (using a mapped network drive p:\ where the webserver is) and this is windows. -an -f mpegts -aspect 16:9 -r 25 -framerate 25 -s 1024x576 -qscale 5 -f hls -hls_time 8 -hls_wrap 8 -hls_playlist_type event p:\grantstream.m3u8

Thanks for watching!

Hi! With VLC there is the possibility to convert you media, but I don't think it can while playing. I will take a look if there are other solutions. Stay tuned!

@@devstefit thanks Stef 👍

Hi! Thanks for watching. Yes you can! I guess this is what I did in the testing phase (no other machines to communicate with in the very beginning)

Yes, I agree with you: raw video (in general, uncompressed) or FFV1 (lossless compressed) can be good in terms of quality preservation, but not so good in terms of bandwidth occupied. In fact I use H.264 all the time (but I can use H.265/HEVC in these days, since it is quite commonly used), you can customize it using the preset and the CRF (Constant Rate Factor) to give a good tradeoff between quality and stream size. Of course, if you use your application/service on your local network and you don't mind about network costs you are most welcome and I invite you to use it! But in case of using it over the internet (and above all 4G/5G) it is better to keep the file size to the minimum, at the expense of some quality loss and artifact generation (as it is your case). A way to avoid it is to play with the Constant Rate Factor (or CRF for short) and the presets (some settings that are meant to be used in certain scenarios like a film, an animation, footage with grainy noise, etc). A video upon that is on the rise! Stay tuned!
