Hi ,

@PrinzEugen : try something like below .

@echo on
ffmpeg -i "http://..." -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mpegts | "c:\program.....\vlc.exe" -
pause
:fin

Maybe you ought to use vlc 2.1.2 instead of 2.1.3 .

Cheers .

Hi ,

@PrinzEugen : Create a batch file .

===
To do this :
_ open a text editor
_ paste the lines @echo ... :fin <= or :end
_ replace "http://..." by your link
_ replace "c:\program.....\vlc.exe" by the right directory of VLC

_ save the file as (example) "TRY.bat" in the same directory where is staying FFMPEG.exe
===

Open "explorer.exe" . Search for "TRY.bat" , and launch it .

Cheers .

is says
at least one output file must be specified,

[aazerty]

Add pipe: , like this :
-f mpegts pipe: |

on mxplayer for android streams are work flawlessly.

Hi ,

@PrinzEugen :

Try this , to watch a stream "m3u8" directly .
----
@echo on
ffplay -i "http://... .m3u8" -x 750 -y 550
pause
:fin
----

Or , 
_ catch the stream to "1er_essai.ts"
_ convert "1er_essai.ts" => "1er_essai.mp4"
----
@echo on
ffmpeg -re -i "http://... .m3u8" -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mpegts "1er_essai.ts"
pause
rem "1er_essai.ts" => "1er_essai.mp4"
ffmpeg -i "1er_essai.ts" -threads 0 -f mp4 -r 25 -vcodec mpeg4 -filter:v yadif=0:-1:1 -maxrate 4000k -b:v 2000k -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 8000k -acodec libmp3lame -async 4 -ar 48000 -b:a 128k -ac 2 -vf scale=704:396 -aspect 16:9 "1er_essai.mp4"
pause
:fin
----
read "1er_essai.mp4" with what you want .

Cheers .
