ffmpeg: Invalid segment filename template 'stream05d.ts'

Question

I have tried to use http live streaming with ffmpeg windows build (http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/)

Here's the command

ffmpeg.exe -v 9 -loglevel 99 -re -i tes.avi -an ^
-c:v libx264 -b:v 128k -preset medium ^
-flags -global_header -map 0 -f segment -segment_time 4 ^
-segment_list test.m3u8 -segment_format mpegts stream%^05d.ts

but an error message raised,

[segment @ 045f5840] Codec for stream 0 does not use global headers but container format requires global headers
[segment @ 045f5840] Selected stream id:0 type:video
[mpegts @ 062f2540] Invalid segment filename template 'stream05d.ts'

Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invali

What's this error message mean and how to solve it?

Answer 1

stream%05d.ts

With Windows, %0 is the name of the script, in your case tes.bat. Perhaps you need to escape the % like this

stream%%05d.ts

Ignore percent sign in batch file
