The live video has ended.

I didn't try including audio. I did upgrade ffmpeg to 3.2-1~16.04.york1 instead of the 2.x included in the Ubuntu 16.04 repo, but that didn't help. The fps always starts at 30, and then drops down to around 9 fps.

I also tried a whole bunch of different fmpeg parameters (setting fps with -r on both input and output, using -framerate, setting threads to 0, setting a buffer size) based on these threads, none of which helped:

You may take a look to my PR, which has solved the issue for me.

Hi, afaik a lot of user see this message.
Can you please check:

1. Start stream
2. Go to you wall and open the developer console
3. Look for network issues

I got a 404 from FB for the video while other friends saw it :(

Best,
Philipp Holly

Yes, I am seeing GETs from the video-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net domain which are 404s, followed by a 'Refused to get unsafe header "Date"' message.

Yeah, same here. must be a facebook issue !?

[mmccaff]

Interesting, so it's stopped working for you also?

I've been digging into this but have kind of reached a dead end. Please let me know if you find anything, and I'll do the same.

Thanks!

Matt

Btw -I also wondered if it was a Facebook issue, but checked and found that plenty of other people are currently live. So if it is on their end, it's not a problem across the board.

[phips28]

We should open a bugreport.

I am out of office till friday. So will check it later

I tried to start a live video from my iPhone.

And I can see this stream on my wall but not the stream from the tool. strange.

Interesting. Let's keep an eye on those threads. Did you take any meaning from the responses other than to try increasing the frame rate?

I saw that FB recommends 30 fps. I tried changing 10 to 30 in your index.js and scraper.js, but that didn't help.

[phips28]

Yes I also tried to update the framerate but the streaming stays at ~12 fps..

[mmccaff]

I wonder if there is an issue when streams don't have audio? Just a hunch from some of the discussion in the second link.

[phips28]

@mmccaff have you tried it?

[phips28]

I also tested every combination of parameter, but no success :(

[necenzurat]

Not using the app, but i have the same problem with ffmpeg & facebook.
