Hi all,
I am trying to add a camera to BI that displays the current weather radar in North America.


Currently I have a PowerShell script to download the most recent North East *.gifs from htt p://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/RadarImg/ and convert them to .png and rename them in sequence to image0.png, image1.png, image2.png etc


I then use FFMPEG to convert the images into a video :
ffmpeg -loop 1 -f image2 -re -i img%d.png -vcodec libx264 out.mp4


This works perfectly, however I am having issues trying to convert to a stream that BI can read, something like this :
ffmpeg -loop 1 -f image2 -re -i img%d.png -vcodec libx264 -f mpegts udp://10.1.0.102:1234


I can play the stream from ffplay(MediaPlayer) but not able to get BI to connect, any help on stream formatting to enable BI to read the stream would be much appreciated.


Many thanks,
Mike
