mpegtsmux files and Safari playback

[Jin Choi]

Found the problem! I was reading through today’s digest and Duncan Palmer’s response on what h264parse did got me curious, so I dropped it into the pipeline. That makes the MPEG-TS file viewable in Safari (and presumably other browsers that can display h264).

The video quality is great, but there are many issues trying to live stream anything other than mjpeg. Step #1 is getting an MPEG-TS format that is acceptable to a browser, and mpegtsmux is not working out. I generated a test using x264enc to isolate any h264 format issues.
