FFMPEG FFmpeg Protocols Documentation 3 Protocols 3.41 udp
The required syntax for an UDP URL is:
udp://hostname:port[?options]
FFMPEG FFmpeg Protocols Documentation 3 Protocols 3.41 udp 3.41.1 Examples
Note that broadcasting may not work properly on networks having a broadcast storm protection.
ffmpeg -i input -f format udp://hostname:port

FFMPEG FFmpeg Protocols Documentation 3 Protocols 3.32 rtsp 3.32.1 Examples
The following examples all make use of the ffplay and ffmpeg tools.
ffplay -max_delay 500000 -rtsp_transport udp rtsp://server/video.mp4
FFMPEG FFmpeg Protocols Documentation 3 Protocols 3.14 http
If set to 1 enables experimental HTTP server. This can be used to send data when used as an output option, or read data from a client with HTTP POST when used as an input option. If set to 2 enables experimental multi-client HTTP server. This is not yet implemented in ffmpeg.c and thus must not be used as a command line option.
# Server side (sending):
ffmpeg -i somefile.ogg -c copy -listen 1 -f ogg http://server:port

# Client side (receiving):
ffmpeg -i http://server:port -c copy somefile.ogg

# Client can also be done with wget:
wget http://server:port -O somefile.ogg

# Server side (receiving):
ffmpeg -listen 1 -i http://server:port -c copy somefile.ogg

# Client side (sending):
ffmpeg -i somefile.ogg -chunked_post 0 -c copy -f ogg http://server:port

# Client can also be done with wget:
wget --post-file=somefile.ogg http://server:port
FFMPEG FFmpeg Protocols Documentation 3 Protocols 3.19 pipe
For example to read from stdin with ffmpeg:
cat test.wav | ffmpeg -i pipe:0
# ...this is the same as...
cat test.wav | ffmpeg -i pipe:
FFMPEG FFmpeg Protocols Documentation 3 Protocols 3.19 pipe
For writing to stdout with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i test.wav -f avi pipe:1 | cat > test.avi
# ...this is the same as...
ffmpeg -i test.wav -f avi pipe: | cat > test.avi
FFMPEG FFmpeg Protocols Documentation 3 Protocols 3.8 data
For example, to convert a GIF file given inline with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i "data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhCAAIAMIEAAAAAAAA//8AAP//AP///////////////ywAAAAACAAIAAADF0gEDLojDgdGiJdJqUX02iB4E8Q9jUMkADs=" smiley.png
FFMPEG FFmpeg Protocols Documentation 3 Protocols 3.9 file
For example to read from a file input.mpeg with ffmpeg use the command:
ffmpeg -i file:input.mpeg output.mpeg
FFMPEG FFmpeg Protocols Documentation 3 Protocols 3.30 librtmp rtmp, rtmpe, rtmps, rtmpt, rtmpte
For example, to stream a file in real-time to an RTMP server using ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -re -i myfile -f flv rtmp://myserver/live/mystream
FFMPEG FFmpeg Protocols Documentation 3 Protocols 3.39 tcp
The following example shows how to setup a listening TCP connection with ffmpeg, which is then accessed with ffplay:
ffmpeg -i input -f format tcp://hostname:port?listen
ffplay tcp://hostname:port
