I want to streaming the camera via NETWORK. I have connected the USB webcam to i.MX6 board and want to stream in Ubuntu14.04/16.04 via network.
Incidentally, I have installed the gstreamer and ffmpeg tools for this in i.MX6 board.
Also I am able to stream USB webcam within Ubuntu14.04 PC using the following ffmpeg commands. But it's also not working if I use ffplay in other Ubuntu16.04 and I am not sure why (both are same ffmpeg versions).

Finally I want to stream with different ARM boards. Am also not able to build ffplay command. Same issue with raspberry pi too. I am doing something wrong or misunderstood something here?
You want to stream the live USB camera feed from iMX6 to PC. Assuming I understood correctly, running the following pipeline on iMX6
gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2src device=/dev/video3 ! videoconvert ! queue ! vpuenc_h264 ! rtph264pay ! udpsink host=10.18.0.125 port=5004
and by running the following pipeline on my PC
gst-launch-1.0 udpsrc port=5004 caps="application/x-rtp, media=(string)video, clock-rate=(int)90000, payload=(int)96, encoding-name=(string)H264" ! rtph264depay ! avdec_h264 ! xvimagesink
I can view the USB camera stream on PC.

I'm trying to record my webcam with FFmpeg.
I listed the devices with this line:
ffmpeg -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy
And I test the settings with this one:
ffplay -loglevel verbose -f dshow -rtbufsize 100M -video_size 1280x720 -framerate 60 -video_device_number 0 -audio_device_number 0 -i video="C922 Pro Stream Webcam":audio="Microphone (C922 Pro Stream Web"
The first command outputs this:

What can be the problem? Is it the extender cable? What are FFmpeg's requirement on USB cables (and extenders)?
This is not a software/configuration issue - it's purely electrical one. I assume you have passive USB over Ethernet adapters which only convert the wiring without touching signal itself. 5-10 meters is realistic maximum you can expect from that kind of cable (I tested for myself using iPhone and Mac Mini).
Active USB over Ethernet adapters might help. They work in entirely different way and they are completely transparent to both host and guest device - no additional configuration needed.
For details about limitations of USB cables see this answer https://superuser.com/a/64747/416084
I've got some code that outputs rawvideo to ffmpeg via pipe, which then overlays a png over it. If the code exits with an error, ffmpeg keeps going forever, I don't know how to stop it :( Any ideas? Here's an example:
set -o pipefail
(echo "error!!"; exit 1) | \
ffmpeg -f rawvideo -c:v rawvideo -s 1280x720 -pix_fmt bgra -i - \
-i my_icon.png \
-filter_complex "[0][1]overlay=50:50" \
out.mp4
Note ffmpeg DOES show an error message, but still does not stop, stuck in 'frame 0' forever, with a strange time attribute e.g. time:-577014:32:22.77:
[rawvideo # 0x563fc94427c0] Packet too small (8)

Im trying to use FFMPEG to stream out to my Decklink duo 2 but im unable to do so.
Heres the command that im trying:
ffmpeg -f decklink -i "DeckLink Duo (1)#5"
-pix_fmt uyvy422 -r 25000/1000 "DeckLink Duo (3)"
I tried just sending color bars as an output but it still doesnt work
Command:
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i color=color=red -t 10000 "DeckLink Duo (3)"
Both Result:

DeckLink Duo (3): Invalid argument
Any Suggestions or help to solve this is much appreciated.
As the documentation says "DeckLink is very picky about the formats it supports. Pixel format is always uyvy422, framerate, field order and video size must be determined for your device with -list_formats 1. Audio sample rate is always 48 kHz.", see https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-devices.html#decklink-1. So you need to add the resolution and make sure it is supported.
For the Duo 2 or Quad 2, You need to confirm in Desktop Video utility that you have assigned an SDI port to the channel, otherwise it may be in key/fill mode. This can be found in the third tab called "Connectors". If you can't select one (happens on device (2) or (4) if 1 or 3 are set to key/fill mode, you go back to 1 or 3 and change them to use a single connector.
That was the cause of my I/O error trying to use chanel (3).
So, I have a directory full of files named motor_animate_000.gif, motor_animate_001.gif, etc.
I run:
ffmpeg -r 30 -i motor_animate_%03d.gif -r 30 motor.mpg
I expect to get a file called motor.mpg, but instead I get the usual bunch of printout, ending with:
motor_animate_%03d.gif: No such file or directory
What? This worked in Ubuntu 14.04, but doesn't work now. What I'm doing appears to be consistent with the ffmpeg man page. I'm now officially clueless. Thanks in advance.
Here's what I get when I try the alternate suggested below:
tim#Servo:~/Documents/Movies/dcmotor/animation$ ffmpeg -f image2 -framerate 30 -i motor_animate_%03d.gif motor.mpg

The gif demuxer does not support a series of input files. You'll need to manually tell it to use the image file demuxer instead:
ffmpeg -f image2 -framerate 30 -i motor_animate_%03d.gif motor.mpg
The image file demuxer uses -framerate instead of -r.
You don't need to declare frame rate twice if you want to output to be the same as the input, so I removed the output -r.
The ffmpeg cannot recognize the '-af' option. How can I fix this?
