Hi,
Im trying to decode a h264 stream from an IP camera. I have been able to
use write a program in visual studio (im running on widows) to connect
to my camera and play the stream using the current FFmpeg libraries, but
its very badly artifacted. So after a bit of looking about i tried VLC.
This seems to play the stream fine with no artifacts. I had a look into
how this was done and it seems to use the live555 librarys for the RTP
then decode using libavcodec. Ive managed to get the live555 libraries
working and reached the point where i have a h264 encoded frame and no
real understanding of how to decode it. Ive tried using
avcodec_decode_video (with all the various setup) but only ever had -1
returned.
The strange thing is that i can save off the streamed video to an mp4
file using my live555 and play that through my ffmpeg sample application
with no artifacts.
Its a bit of a pain since i cant debug the ffmpeg libraries or see how
VLC is decoding it, to find out where its going wrong. I was wondering
if anyone can give me some tips on how to procede further with this.
Thanks
Richard
