USB Streaming with ffmpeg

Forums:

Streaming with the pi camera seemed fairly easy. I will also be adding this to motion to test if it works from there, but for now a straight command line seems to work streaming directly to youtube using the usb webcam and the usb camera microphone.

ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:1 -f v4l2 -s 1920x1080 -r 30 -input_format h264 -i /dev/video0 -vcodec copy -r 15 -g 30 -b:v 3000k -ar 44100 -threads 6 -b:a 96k -bufsize 3000k -f flv rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/YourYouTubeStreamKeyHere

The problem I had was the audio. On the first -f I added alsa and then the first -i I put hw,1.

I found the audio recording device of my usb camera by typing:
arecord -l
This gave me the audio device of the camera. You may have more than one, but my pi only has the usb camera mic.

Once I had this I was fairly sure that the hw device would be 1.
