[FFmpeg-user] Select a single program from mpegts

[Robert Szelepcsényi]

Hi,

I need an utility that can receive a complete mpeg transport stream on one
multicast address, select one particular program and stream it to another
multicast address. For example, this works perfectly for me:

ffmpeg -copy_unknown -i udp:/224.0.0.1:20001 -map 0:p:3001 -c copy -f
mpegts udp://224.0.0.2:20001

Program #3001 is a standard SD channel with MPEG2 video and MP2 audio.

However, when I try to stream program #3003, which is a HD channel with H264
video, I get the following error:

[mpegts @ 0x55dda31d41a0] dimensions not set
Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?):
Invalid argument

Metadata information for program #3001 is:

Program 3001

and metadata information for program #3003 is:

It obviously lacks information about the picture size.

Increasing -probesize and -analyzeduration won’t help, but in fact, this is
not what I wish to do. I want ffmpeg just extract a given program and
generate a new mpegts without touching the contents. There is no problem
with completely unknown streams. I want the video and auto streams to be
handled in the same way. The end device can play the program, so there is
no point in trying to add information about picture size, which for some
reason cannot be successfully extracted.

In other words I need something like the famed getstream, which was just
demultiplexer/remultiplexer and nothing else without any deeper analysis of
the streams' content.

Is there any switch to force all streams being handled as unknown?

(I am not convinced that ffmpeg is the right tool for this kind of
retransmission, just in case this isn't obvious: A new output stream
is created with new properties, FFmpeg is unable to just strip the
unwanted parts of an mpeg stream.)

Command line and complete, uncut console output missing.
