FFmpeg: Tee Muxer not saving a local copy












1















Tee Muxer is this very awesome feature but has a minimal amount of documentation and examples to help explain it.



I am trying to stream to multiple streaming servers (Facebook & Youtube for now) and save a local copy, it streamed to Facebook but I have two problems here:



1- I can't save a local copy of the live stream to a custom location



2- YouTube isn't receiving my video saying that it's 65kx65k pixels as shown in this picture.



Note: I doubt there's a problem in filter_complex because it used to save locally before live-streaming through tee mux.



This is my command, I'll paste it almost as it is so that you can tell where's the issue:



ffmpeg -f dshow -i video="video-input-device":audio="audio-input-device" 
-i "logo.png"
-filter_complex "crop=1360:768:0:0[cropped];[cropped]pad=ceil(iw/2)*2:ceil(ih/2)*2[scaledagain];[scaledagain]scale=1360x768[unscaled];[unscaled]scale=1280:-2,overlay=0:0[output]"
-c:a aac -strict experimental -ab 128k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -bt 500k
-c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency -b:v 1500K -bufsize 750K -minrate 1000K -maxrate 2000K -framerate 30 -threads 0
-f tee -map [output] -map 0:a "C:UsersUserDesktopoutput.flv|[f=flv]youtubeRtmpLink/key|[f=flv]facebookRtmpLink/key"


Is there any workaround the problem of a local copy in a custom location?



Thank you so much for your time and help.

          Add -flags +global_header as the tee docs say.



          And for local saving, escape the path elements



          "C:UsersUserDesktopoutput.flv" --> "C:\Users\User\Desktop\output.flv"
