ffprobe Invalid data found when processing input

[Keld312]

Hello,

Thank you for your kurento module, this one is very interesting due to lack documentation or my low knowledge of this subject. I have tried to use curlendpoint, the output file is well generated but unfortunately I'm not able to read it through vlc or it is impossible to have information through ffprobe.
In fact, my goal is to send the audio webrtc session to my script through http in order to call my own API.

/home/seb/Bureau/test_module/records/file.mp4: Invalid data found when processing input

Do you have an idea about this issue ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Seb

I have a similar problem. I guess your file is not in mp4 format. You can do a simple test: find the correct MP4 file to probe with ffprobe, remove the file suffix. MP4, and the ffprobe will prompt the same as yours.
