ffmpeg issue with output from video stream


I have two video streams from which I'd like to take one frame of each, both of them are RTSP. I'm using the same FFMPEG instruction for both of them but changing the URL of the stream, the first one works but the second one throws the error:

method SETUP failed: 455 Method Not Valid In This State

Can anyone tell me what could be the reason for this error and how to solve it?

Solution

  • As I see in your output, ffmpeg failed to determine input stream type in the second case (rtsp://camaras.corredorautomotriz.cl:554/live.sdp).

    I checked it, and it got me mpeg4:

    Input #0, rtsp, from 'rtsp://camaras.corredorautomotriz.cl:554/live.sdp':

    Metadata:

    title : RTSP server

    Duration: N/A, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A

    Stream #0:0: Video: mpeg4 (Simple Profile), yuv420p, 720x480 [SAR 1:1 DAR 3:2], 30 tbr, 30k tbn

    Thus possibly you compiled ffmpeg without mpeg4 decoder (or with broken decoder).
