  • How do I configure codec parameters for a RTSP stream ?

    16 mai, par Kermit

    I am trying to stream a network camera source into /dev/video0. However, all attempts keep telling me I have set incorrect codec parameters. Any suggestions?

    # works
ffplay rtsp://admin:password@172.16.0.184:554/live

    Then trying any of these to feed into /dev/video0 (valid from list of ls /dev/video*):

    ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -i "rtsp://admin:password@172.16.0.184:554/live" -c:v rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -f v4l2 /dev/video0

    Results in

  • Generating timestamps in webm transport stream with ffmpeg

    16 mai, par Vlad Feinstein

    I am recording screen capture of my Electron app to a file, as suggested here: Save captured video to file in Electron

    It works great, but the file is a “transport stream”. I can play it in Chrome browser, but can’t adjust the time slider.

    The suggestion was to use ffmpeg to post-process the file. The simplest, straight-forward command I found is:

    ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i in.webm out.webm

    I thought that this simply generates timestamps. However, the out.webm file is 15 times smaller than in.webm! I don’t see any change in the quality. The downside is - the processing takes about the same time as the duration of the video.

    Two questions:

    1. Is there any way I can speedup this “timestamping” process?
    2. Can I record a video that is already 15 times smaller in size?

    I specify maxFrameRate: 30 when calling webkitGetUserMedia().

    Here is the output of that ffmpeg command:

    vlad$ ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i in.webm out.webm

  • C# server problem with FFmpeg Visual Studio 2022

    I have FFmpeg.AutoGen package installed through VS i originally started with 7.0 but then switched to 5.0 to see if an older version might work (it did not). I also have the files in the same directory as the .exe for testing purposes as seen in the screenshot. Can someone please help me figure out this error. enter image description here

  • PHP/ffmpeg (Windows 7) : - Permission Denied. Tried everything, but still doesn't work

    16 mai, par user365465

    I have a command-line PHP script that, when given the folder name as an argument when executing the script, will find all images in said folder and resize them using FFmpeg. Problem is, I always get a Permission Denied error in FFmpeg when it attempts to get at the files within the folder. This is while being on Windows 7.

    The big problem is that I've tried every solution that keeps popping up on the interwebs when I search for how to fix it. I've changed the settings in Avast!, did the attrib command (both as normal and "Run as Administrator") to unmark as read-only, took ownership of the folder both via command line and using that GUI takeown context menu thing everyone keeps throwing around (obviously before my efforts to mark everything as not-read-only), messed with permissions, everything. I keep searching and searching for a solution, but all of the sites keep throwing out the same things over and over again - things that I've already tried multiple times. I'm at the end of my rope here. All I want to do is resize images quickly and automatically so I can put them up on my website, yet this has been a massive headache...

    Please help me! :(

    Update (Additional Points):

    • The error is through FFmpeg, not PHP. FFmpeg spits out the permission denied error, the script just continues doing what it does normally (or, at least, it would if it weren't for my die statement that kicks in in the event of FFmpeg failing).

    • FFmpeg will execute just fine if it's run normally through the command line instead of through the script. However, this does not help the problem of me having to resize hundreds of photos by hand!

    • I'm just running this script in the normal terminal using the CLI engine. Weird use for PHP, I know, but since I already knew how to work with FFmpeg in PHP (but in Linux!) so I figured I might as well use the code as a normal, stand-alone program...

    • FFmpeg spits out the same error regardless of which PHP function is used to execute it. It happens for shell_exec, exec, passthru, and system.

  • How to stop ffmpeg remotely ?

    16 mai, par Adam

    I'm running ffmpeg on another machine for screen capture. I'd like to be able to stop it recording remotely. FFMPEG requires that q is pressed to stop encoding as it has to do some finalization to finish the file cleanly. I know I could kill it with kill/killall however this can lead to corrupt videos.

    Press [q] to stop encoding

    I can't find anything on google specifically for this, but some there is suggestion that echoing into /proc//fd/0 will work.

    I've tried this but it does not stop ffmpeg. The q is however shown in the terminal in which ffmpeg is running.

    echo -n q > /proc/16837/fd/0

    So how can I send a character to another existing process in such a way it is as if it were typed locally? Or is there another way of remotely stopping ffmpeg cleanly.
