re-streaming source - almost give up

[Koze]

After spending more than week with testing almost give up.
Cannot find proper command for ffmpeg to restream following stream:

http://inea.live.e238-po.insyscd.net/travelchannel.smil/chunklist_b2400000.m3u8

I was using following command to do that but getting errors, missing headers, etc:

ffmpeg -re -headers 'User-Agent: bar'$'\r\n'  -i http://inea.live.e238-po.insyscd.net/travelchannel.smil/chunklist_b2400000.m3u8 -acodec aac -strict -2 -vcodec libx264 -r 30 -video_size 1024x578 -b:v 2000k -b:a 128K -preset ultrafast -bufsize 3968k -f flv rtmp://livexxxxxxxx

Can someone point out me what I am doing wrong, or what needs to be changed?

Any help, much appreciate,

Koze

Stream via livestreamer:

livestreamer "hls://http://inea.live.e238-po.insyscd.net/travelchannel.smil/chunklist_b2400000.m3u8" best

or, to capture using ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i  "http://inea.live.e238-po.insyscd.net/travelchannel.smil/chunklist_b2400000.m3u8" -c copy travel.ts

Thank you so much for your quick reply.
I forgot to mention that I am using linux (Debian7).

Could you kindly elaborate your suggestions please.

Am I able to re-steam this by using livestreamer?

Thanks again,

Yes, you should be able to use livestreamer to stream to vlc in linux. See the following page for all the info you need.

Also, have a look at this for ffmpeg to stream via vlc. You should only need to change a couple of small things (like the m3u8 and the path to the player).

ffmpeg -i "http://server1/ch-01.m3u8" -q:v 0 -bsf h264_mp4toannexb -f mpegts - | "/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC" - && exit

I am trying to stream above link within livestreamer with following command:

root@ghjo:~# livestreamer --yes-run-as-root "hls://http://inea.live.e238-po.insyscd.net/travelchannel.smil/chunklist_b2400000.m3u8" best --player-external-http-port 4819

and plan was to open another terminal later with following command:

ffmpeg -re -i "http://localhost:4819/" -acodec aac -strict -2 -vcodec copy -b:v 2000k -b:a 128K -preset ultrafast -bufsize 3968k -f flv rtmp://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

But looks I am missing something again as getting following error:

[cli][info] Found matching plugin stream for URL hls://http://inea.live.e238-po.insyscd.net/travelchannel.smil/chunklist_b2400000.m3u8
[cli][info] Available streams: live (worst, best)
[cli][info] Opening stream: live (hls)
error: The default player (VLC) does not seem to be installed. You must specify the path to a player executable with --player.

My idea was to use livestreamer not VLC. Do I need in this case install VLC too?

Thank you so much for your help
