Demultiplex UDP live stream to multiple single live stream outputs using FFMPEG & FFSERVE

Question

i have a problem with ffmpeg. i have an input live stream that has 8 inputs and i want to use ffmpeg to convert it from udp live steram to tcp livestream and then extract each of the 8 input stream differently.

i have been reading about the ffmpeg documentation at they havent provided a clear way of solving my problem.

am running

ffmpeg version 3.2.4-1~16.04.york0 Copyright (c) 2000-2017 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 5.4.1 (Ubuntu 5.4.1-5ubuntu2~16.04.york1) 20170210 configuration: --prefix=/usr --extra-version='1~16.04.york0' --toolchain=hardened --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --incdir=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu --enable-gpl --disable-stripping --enable-avresample --enable-avisynth --enable-gnutls --enable-ladspa --enable-libass --enable-libbluray --enable-libbs2b --enable-libcaca --enable-libcdio --enable-libebur128 --enable-libflite --enable-libfontconfig --enable-libfreetype --enable-libfribidi --enable-libgme --enable-libgsm --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libopenmpt --enable-libopus --enable-libpulse --enable-librubberband --enable-libshine --enable-libsnappy --enable-libsoxr --enable-libspeex --enable-libssh --enable-libtheora --enable-libtwolame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libwavpack --enable-libwebp --enable-libx265 --enable-libxvid --enable-libzmq --enable-libzvbi --enable-omx --enable-openal --enable-opengl --enable-sdl2 --enable-libdc1394 --enable-libiec61883 --enable-chromaprint --enable-frei0r --enable-libopencv --enable-libx264 --enable-shared libavutil 55. 34.101 / 55. 34.101 libavcodec 57. 64.101 / 57. 64.101 libavformat 57. 56.101 / 57. 56.101 libavdevice 57. 1.100 / 57. 1.100 libavfilter 6. 65.100 / 6. 65.100 libavresample 3. 1. 0 / 3. 1. 0 libswscale 4. 2.100 / 4. 2.100 libswresample 2. 3.100 / 2. 3.100 libpostproc 54. 1.100 / 54. 1.100

am running this command to help me split my input into multiple output that can be accessed differently.

ffmpeg \
-i udp://@localhost:4000 -loglevel debug \
-map 0:0 http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm \
-map 0:1 http://localhost:8090/feed2.ffm \

this is the link to the short sample. it has all the 8 stream channels. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B12_TxWYu6LzMlBsTDVMN2RjZ1E — tiras muturi, Feb 17 '17 at 07:16
The mapping works here: `Stream #0:4 -> #0:0 (mp2 (native) -> mp2 (native))`. Likely something to do with ffserver config. Try the mailing list. — Gyan, Feb 17 '17 at 07:46
i have realised that if i run the command but i just save it a file , it works fine, `code` ffmpeg \ -i udp://@localhost:4000 -loglevel debug \ -map 0:0 /tmp/stream0.mp2 \ -map 0:1 /tmp/stream1.mp2 \ but when i try so stream output it just doesnt work. — tiras muturi, Feb 17 '17 at 09:24

ffmpeg -f dshow -i video="Integrated Webcam" -c:v rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -window_size qcif -f sdl "SDL output"

This works for me on Windows.
