# ================================================================= | |
# Stream configuration file for Raspberry Pi Camera | |
# | |
# @author Russell Feldhausen (russfeldh@gmail.com) | |
# @version 2019-06-05 | |
# | |
# This set of commands should allow you to stream video from your | |
# Raspberry Pi Camera to Twitch and Youtube (and possibly other | |
# RTMP endpoints) with decent quality and performance. | |
# | |
# You may need to install raspivid and/or ffmpeg to use this script. | |
# | |
# This was tested and built on Raspbian 9 installed using Noobs | |
# ================================================================= | |
# Set width and height of output video | |
WIDTH=1920 | |
HEIGHT=1080 | |
# Set output framerate | |
FRAMERATE=30 | |
# Set keyframe spacing (must be double the framerate) | |
KEYFRAME=60 | |
# Set bitrate (Twitch recommends 3500000) | |
BITRATE=3500000 | |
# Set stream URL | |
URL= | |
# Set stream key | |
KEY= | |
# Command | |
raspivid -n -t 0 -w $WIDTH -h $HEIGHT -fps $FRAMERATE -b $BITRATE -g $KEYFRAME -o - | ffmpeg -f lavfi -i anullsrc -c:a aac -r $FRAMERATE -i - -g $KEYFRAME -strict experimental -threads 4 -vcodec copy -map 0:a -map 1:v -b:v $BITRATE -preset ultrafast -f flv "${URL}/${KEY}" | |
# ================================================================= | |
# Full Documentation of Command Options | |
# | |
# +++ raspivid +++ | |
# -n = no preview window | |
# -t = time to capture (0 to disable, which allows streaming) | |
# -w = video width | |
# -h = video height | |
# -fps = output framerate (max 30 for 1080p, 60 for 720p) | |
# -b = bitrate | |
# -g = keyframe rate (refresh period) | |
# -o - = output to stdout (allows piping to ffmpeg) | |
# | |
# +++ ffmpeg +++ | |
# -f lavfi = use lavfi filter (see note below) | |
# -i anullsrc = grab blank input (see note below) | |
# -c:a aac = set audio codec to aac | |
# -r = output framerate (should match raspivid framerate) | |
# -i - = read input from stdin (piped from ffmpeg) | |
# -g = keyframe rate (refresh period) | |
# -strict experimental = allow nonstandard things | |
# -threads 4 = set number of encoding threads to 4 (# of cores) | |
# -vcodec copy = use video as-is (do not re-encode video) | |
# -map 0:a = use the audio from input 0 (see note below) | |
# -map 1:v = use the video from input 1 (raspivid) | |
# -b:v = bitrate | |
# -preset ultrafast = use the ultrafast encoding preset | |
# -f flv = set output format to flv for streaming | |
# "${URL}/{KEY}" = specify RTMP URL as output for stream | |
# | |
# ** NOTE ** | |
# According to some information online, YouTube will reject a live | |
# stream without an audio channel. So, in the ffmpeg command above | |
# a blank audio channel is included. It was not required for Twitch | |
# in my testing. | |

This is brilliant, thank you so much for this, works a treat!

Hi first for making this script its been a huge help, I have a problem since raspivid is no longer working, I have tried to modify it by changing it to:
libcamera-vid -n -t 0 --width $WIDTH --height $HEIGHT --frames $FRAMERATE -g $KEYFRAME -b $BITRATE -o -| ffmpeg
but in twitch, I only get a blank screen and 0kbps bitrate. Any idea of what can I do to fix this?UPDATE:
I've made an updated tool that works with libcamera and with more additions. Here it is: https://github.com/diegozalez/RaspyStream
