Now you should be able to see what is going wrong. The following list contains some common problems and solutions:
|
||||
|
||||
- `[rtsp @ ...] UDP timeout, retrying with TCP`: You need to set an RTSP transport in the configuration with: `input: -rtsp_transport tcp -i INPUT`
|
||||
- `[rtsp @ ...] Could not find codec parameters for stream 0 (Video: ..., none): unspecified size`: FFmpeg needs more data or time for autodetection (the default is 5 seconds). You can set the `analyzeduration` and/or `probesize` options to experiment with giving FFmpeg more leeway. If you find the needed value, you can set it with: `input: -analyzeduration xy -probesize xy -i INPUT`. More information about this can be found [here](https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#Description).

#### {% linkable_title USB cameras %}

|

For `INPUT` a valid source is needed. USB camera are an easy way to test your video setup. To get all available USB cameras connected to the system, eg. use the v4l2 tools on a Linux machine.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ v4l2-ctl --list-devices
|
||||
UVC Camera (046d:0825) (usb-0000:00:14.0-1):
|
||||
/dev/video1
|
||||
|
||||
Integrated Camera (usb-0000:00:14.0-10):
|
||||
/dev/video0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Record a test video with your USB device `/dev/video1`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ffmpeg -i /dev/video1 -codec:v libx264 -qp 0 lossless.mp4
|
||||
