I tried running against the Bunny URL above and there were no such "monotonic" errors. While helpful, I'd like to have a real-time camera to test against.įor example, when running ffmpeg against my Reolink camera, I occasionally get: nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 0: 1770 >= 1770 nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 0: 1773 >= 1773 nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 0: 1776 >= 1776 nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 0: 1779 >= 1779 nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 frame= 1518 fps= 26 q=-0.0 size=N/A time=00:00:59.64 bitrate=N/A speed=1.04x nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 0: 1782 >= 1782 nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 nal_unit_type: 1(Coded slice of a non-IDR picture), nal_ref_idc: 1 a camera's streaming feed of h264 encoded bytes.

It may be that the decoding time stamp (DTS) and presentation time stamp (PTS) (see tutorial) do not reflect real-time disparities that might arise when streaming a file. The problem with this is that it is a file, an mp4 format, that is being streamed.
