With FFMPEG, I'm sending a stream from Computer A over to Computer B, via UDP. This is done over a MPEGTS stream, encoded with libx264 and aac. Computer B takes this stream with FFMPEG and puts it into an m3u8 playlist.

After a random time (2-35 minutes), the message 

[mpegts @ 0533f000] AAC bitstream not in ADTS format and extradata missing
av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid data found when processing input

appears. What I figures is that the receiving FFMPEG can't read the header file of the audio part for this particular package, and since it can't put video and audio together anymore, it stops creating the .ts files and just stops running.

Here's the cmdline of the receiving stream:

ffmpeg -i udp://address -vcodec copy -acodec copy -map 0 -f segment -segment_list playlist.m3u8 -analyzeduration 100000 -probesize 100000-segment_list_flags +live-cache -segment_time 8 -segment_wrap 10 out%03d.ts

Now I need to know the answer to either one of these 2 questions:

1) Can I put something in my commandline in order to avoid this particular problem or

2) Can I tell FFMPEG to just ignore it for this particular message, quite possibly creating weird audio or none at all, and to simply move on to the next one?

    sounds like data loss [lost udp packets]. Possibly receive using tcp instead? https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/StreamingGuide#Pointtopointstreaming (you could re-ask question 2 on the ffmpeg ML) – rogerdpack Aug 15 '14 at 19:31
  • Yes you're right, it's the packet loss. I've switched to HLS for now, but I'm still interested in how to circumvent this issue. (: – Boehmi Aug 18 '14 at 10:12
  • are you receiving using ffmpeg? is it a zeranoe build [windows]? – rogerdpack Aug 18 '14 at 19:28
  • I've streamed this from Linux/Debian with a self-compiled FFMPEG to a Windows Server 2012 with the Zeranoe build FFMPEG. – Boehmi Aug 19 '14 at 07:39
  • I am having a similar problem, any luck in resolving this issue? – JD. Feb 04 '15 at 20:46
  • Sadly, no. I switched to HTTP Live Streaming using playlists written to the hard drive, and that one doesn't have this problem. – Boehmi Feb 06 '15 at 06:29
