FFmpeg wrong codecstring for DASH manifest

admin

I’m trying to create a DASH stream with ffmpeg with the following command:

ffmpeg -i rtsp://admin:***@camera-retro.lan/ch0_0 ^
       -map 0 ^
       -codec:v copy ^
       -codec:a copy ^
       -f dash ^
       -use_template 1 ^
       -use_timeline 1 ^
       -window_size 50 ^
       -extra_window_size 5 ^
       -seg_duration 5 ^
       tmp/output.mpd

The problem is the generated manifest doesn’t contain a valid codecstring for the video part (note the codecs=”hev1″ part) and thus is not playable by the browser:



    
        Session streamed by "rRTSPServer"

This is the output of ffprobe:

SDP:

a=fmtp:97 streamtype=5;profile-level-id=1;mode=AAC-hbr;sizelength=13;indexlength=3;indexdeltalength=3;config=1408
a=control:track2

it seems to me that all codec informations are present:

a=fmtp:96 profile-space=0;profile-id=1;tier-flag=0;level-id=186;interop-constraints=000000000000;

why ffmpeg is putting only codecs=”hev1″ instead of the full codecstring (containing the profile, the level and the constraints)?

Thank you
