How to stream Hik 2032 to Youtube Live

Here is my bash script that works with my camera. You will need to modify it to enter your camera's username, password, and IP address. Also specify what channel you want. I am using the 704x480 stream to pipe to youtube.

ffmpeg version 2.8.7 on Fedora 23 (4.5.6-200.fc23.x86_64)

#! /bin/bash​
YOUTUBE_URL="rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2" # Server URL​
KEY="[ENTER YOUR KEY HERE]" # Stream name/key​

ffmpeg \​
-hide_banner \​
-ar 44100 -acodec pcm_s16le -f s16le -ac 2 -channel_layout 2.1 -i /dev/zero \​
-i rtsp://[ENTER YOUR CAMERA USER HERE]:[ENTER YOUR CAMERA PASSWORD HERE]@[ENTER YOUR CAMERA IP HERE]:554/Streaming/Channels/2?tcp \​
-rtsp_transport tcp \​
-ss 2 \​
-c:v copy \​
-c:a libmp3lame \​
-shortest \​
-f flv "$YOUTUBE_URL/$KEY"
​

The output should look something like this:

Stream #0:0: Audio: pcm_s16le, 44100 Hz, 2.1, s16, 2116 kb/s

In windows, you will need to figure out the blank audio source (replacing "/dev/zero") and likely changing the audio encoder (you could try removing it, as ACC or mp3 is supported). Note, as I found out tonight, you NEED an audio channel, youtube will just tell you something like this:

​
8:46 PM No data No active stream
YouTube is not currently receiving data for this stream. If you believe this is incorrect, ensure you're sending a stream and that it is configured with the correct stream key.​

8:46 PM Good Stream is healthy
Stream health is excellent.​


​
I get this warning message, but i don't want to transcode the stream besides adding the blank audio stream, so I don't care:

8:57 PM OK Check resolution
Please check the video resolution. The current resolution is (704x480), which is not optimal.​

8:53 PM Good Stream is healthy
Stream health is excellent.​


Hope that helps everyone. The only issues here should be changing a couple things here to work for your Operating System, but that should be the easy part.
 
Unfortunately, my FFMPEG is still broken...Any script I try (even scripts for other things that worked in the past) just gives me the same error message "cannot find a suitable output format" <file name> "invalid argument"....

Obviously some file has gone missing or has corrupted since it worked fine in the past..I've tried re-downloading FFMPEG and still get the same thing..

Edit: Nevermind, I just found where the problem was (kinda)..I just copied the text of a script, opened a command prompt, typed FFMPEG then pasted the whole text of the script and it worked....Problem seems to be when I save the test script in C:/ as "something.sh" and command FFMPEG "C:/something.sh"...Apparently it's something with that file structure that it doesn't like (even though it worked perfectly that way in the past)...Weird...Oh well, guess if it works just pasting the whole raw script, then I'll try it this way with Youtube to see if I can get it to work..Updates to follow...

Update: Well, I had brief, partial success on my Windows PC with both my Hikvision 2032-I and Huisun mini-ptz by using this script, despite not having any audio...

ffmpeg -f lavfi -i anullsrc -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://admin:<password>@<ip>:554 -tune zerolatency -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt + -c:v copy -c:a aac -strict experimental -f flv rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/<youtube-key>

The result: it threw a few error codes in CMD prompt, then seemed to work itself out somehow and start printing up a steady stream of details for each frame...It worked for roughly a minute or two and then would end itself....The completed results on Youtube was about maybe 20 seconds worth of video that was very choppy, frame freezes for several seconds, mixed with varying levels of video quality from clear to extremely pixelated and occasional splotches of random colors covering part of the image. Here is the full text output from CMD prompt. Perhaps someone that understands this can tell what's going on....and maybe recommend script changes to solve the issues...

You are looking for someone to grab your camera, from your network, and pipe it to youtube? I'll do it, if you send me the info. need the IP and the username/password for view access. I will be any issues are NOT the camera, but the method to pipe to youtube.

You have a lot of stuff in that command line. Try stripping it down to the essentials. Also, I can tell that your computer or internet can't keep up with your stream. It takes a lot of horsepower to do video conversion at high quality.

That shows you are streaming at 4.0fps, and it was fairly variable, so something can't keep up.
 
I mean i got created a special firmware for camera that fits RTMP PIPE INSIDE camera directly - without using PC.

That's just a command line I found online that someone else was using. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about this stuff so I'm not really sure what parts would be essential.

Hmm, not quite sure which would be causing the slowdown. I get a solid 4 mbps upload speed on this internet connection, and seems that I was only streaming at a bitrate of around 1 mbps (if I'm understanding the output correctly), so it shouldn't be much of an issue there? The computer has 4 gigs of RAM (only using about 2 gigs during the stream) and a 3 Ghz quad-core processor (no cores were maxed out to 100% while streaming), so it seems like the resources were available? Perhaps something could be added into the command line to force a lower quality conversion (ie. resize the output video to standard definition size, max bitrate at 500kbps, etc.)...Without knowing anything about writing these scripts, I don't know what to put in to make that happen. If I could get a low quality stream to run stable, it would at least allow for some experimenting.
 
Easiest way to do this is to just do a copy of the videostream and insert a silent audio stream. I'm using the following to stream a 4k camera with 20fps to Youtube with 1-2% CPU usage:

ffmpeg -ar 44100 -ac 2 -f s16le -i /dev/zero -i "rtsp://xxx:[email protected]:aaaa" -codec:v copy -codec:a libmp3lame -b:a 128k -minrate 128k -maxrate 128k -strict experimental -f flv "rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/xxx-xxxxx-xxx.xxxx-xxxx.xxx"

Mind you, this is on Linux. Replace /dev/zero with the Windows equivalant.

Continuating on this thread after almost one year, I was testing some Youtube streaming with ffmpeg on a Windows 10 Box yesterday.

Videostreaming went fine, but I didn't got any audio on Youtube live. I tried different settings on the camera (G.726 and MP2L2 Codecs) and ffmpeg options (like -c:a aac and -c:a
libmp3lame) but no success at this, Youtube was silent all the time.

Does anyone have some experience with this (Hikvision cam streaming to youtube)?
 
Do you get audio from the camera watching it with vlc or fplay? My camera doesn't have an audio stream, at least not one I have ever heard.
 
I get audio from the camera with the webinterface in liveview or when I record it with the NVR. I managed as well to include the rtsp stream in OBS (obsproject.com) and had audio there.

Just wondering if someone is using ffmeg to stream with audio.?
 
I can't test that @forinsec, pretty sure neither of my cameras have audio. Which camera are you using? if it plays audio with ffplay, then ffmpeg shouldn't be much different.
 
I'm using the cube cameras for testing like the DS-2CD2442FWD-IW, but there are a lot of other models with audio support...

Good idea with ffplay, didn't knew this before. I'll try with it first

I installed the ds-2cd2542fwd-is which has a (s) mic and able to stream with BI. Link will be live overnight at least into tomorrow.
 
Wooaah, thanks for this info. Can you post a printscreen of the BI settings page where you setup the youtube streaming?
 
Hi,
I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW, and I need to stream live a school event in 2 days

and I don't have audio on youtube stream please help me

(on VLC player - if I see the rtsp:xxx:554 stream I have audio)

with this command video is working but no audio:
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i anullsrc -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://admin:<password>@<ip>:554 -tune zerolatency -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt + -c:v copy -c:a aac -strict experimental -f flv rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/<youtube-key>

maybe here need to enter some audio codec option?


the second command:
ffmpeg -ar 44100 -ac 2 -f s16le -i /dev/zero -i "rtsp://xxx:[email protected]:aaaa" -codec:v copy -codec:a libmp3lame -b:a 128k -minrate 128k -maxrate 128k -strict experimental -f flv "rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/xxx-xxxxx-xxx.xxxx-xxxx.xxx"
is not working error: Option sample_rate not found. (i delete maxminrate option also)

if anybody has sold this problem please replay here

thanks
ron
