How to stream video in a loop via RTP using ffmpeg?

Question

Given a file input.mp4, how can I use ffmpeg to stream it in a loop to some rtp://xxx:port?

I was able to do something similar for procedurally generated audio based on the ffmpeg streaming guides, but I was unable to find a video example:

ffmpeg -re -f lavfi -i aevalsrc="sin(400*2*PI*t)" -ar 44100 -f mulaw -f rtp rtp://xxx:port

Answer 1

You could try this:

ffmpeg -re -fflags +genpts -stream_loop -1 -i input.mp4 -f rtp rtp://xxx:port
