I want to multicast two videos to two different ports of a multicast address. I am able to send one video to one port at a time. But I want a command where both the videos are sent to the ports at the same time. I used the command

{ffmpeg -i  stream1_small.ts -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mpegts -re "udp://239.101.101.1:1234?ttl=1&pkt_size=1316" &
ffmpeg -i  stream2_small.ts -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mpegts -re "udp://239.101.101.1:1235?ttl=1&pkt_size=1316" &}

When i execute the command stream2_small.ts is streamed to the port 1235 but stream1_small.ts is giving a error as

Output #0, mpegts, to 'udp://239.101.101.1:1234?ttl=1&pkt_size=1315
':

I'm not sure what this error is, but:

  • have you tried each (!) command separately - do they both in fact work?
  • have you tried running them in parallel, but each in its own shell?

It is however possible to stream them both with one ffmpeg command. Assuming each input has a single video and a single audio stream:

ffmpeg
  -i stream1_small.ts
  -i stream2_small.ts
  -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mpegts -re "udp://239.101.101.1:1234?ttl=1&pkt_size=1316" -map 0.0 -map 0.1
  -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mpegts -re "udp://239.101.101.1:1235?ttl=1&pkt_size=1316" -map 1.0 -map 1.1
