Am using ffmpeg to receive data on udp protocol on Amazon ec2 e.g.

#> ffmpeg -i udp://0.0.0.0:2013 -f flv http://0.0.0.0:8090/live.ffm

but there does not seem to be any packets received. for test purposes, am trying to send data from local pc via ffmpeg as follows:

$> ffmpeg -i vdo.flv -f flv udp://<ec2-ip>:2013

netstat -lu also

The security group being used has all udp ports open.

however for the sake of testing the validity of ffmpeg command , also wrote in on local pc and it seems to receive without issue:

e.g:

Sender:

$> ffmpeg -i vdo.flv -f flv udp://localhost:2013

Receiver:

    $> ffmpeg -i udp://localhost:2013 -f flv udp.flv

UPDATE

tcpdump shows that data is coming to the EC2 instance but ffmpeg still doesnt seem to be getting that data

any help will be appreciated.

In addition to the udp, did you ensure port 8090 tcp outgoing is available for your app? I have not run into any major issues with udp in ec2, snmp for example has worked well.
