Description

Is this a new report?

Yes

System Info

Void 6.6.52_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD uptodate rrmFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Package(s) Affected

ffmpeg6-6.1.2_2

Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

No response

Expected behaviour

Running ffmpeg -listen 1 -i rtmp://192.168.1.235:1935/test -f h264 - | ffplay - should listen for an incoming stream, then display a video.

Actual behaviour
$ ffmpeg -listen 1 -i rtmp://192.168.1.235:1935/test -f h264 - | ffplay -

Error opening input files: Unknown error occurred
fd:: Invalid data found when processing input 0KB sq=    0B f=0/0
Steps to reproduce
  1. Have ffmpeg listen for an RTMP stream: ffmpeg -listen 1 -i rtmp://192.168.1.235:1935/test -f h264 - | ffplay -
  2. Stream something to the RTMP url.
  3. See error above.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the documented ffmpeg command with the Void package built using --enable-librtmp, then compare its RTMP listener behavior with a build that does not use that option. Done means an incoming stream can connect to the listener and the command displays video through ffplay.
