• FFmpeg : Is it better to make a application then using ffmepg directly

  14 juillet 2020, par Mirabeau

  For all my IP camera streams, I use, under Linux, ffmpeg by a bash script which allows me at the same time to manage :

  


  1/ Convert the RTSP streams to HTTP (HLS) for the "Live" and therefore which generates "m3u8" file and *.ts segments

  


  2/ Backup the stream for archiving (in increments of 5 minutes), a cron remove older files (xx days)

  


  ffmpeg -i "rtsp://[IP_CAM01]" -rtsp_transport tcp -c copy -map 0 -f segment -segment_time 300 -segment_atclocktime 1 -segment_format mkv "cam01-% 03d.mkv" -c copy -f segment -segment_list cam01.m3u8 -segment_list_flags + live -segment_time 2 -segment_list_size 20 -segment_wrap 20 cam01-% 03d.ts


  


  The question I ask myself, and the reason for this message is as follows :

  


  

  • would there be an interest (memory / cpu / speed) to develop a program (C/C++/other ?) to do the same thing by using the libraries of ffmpeg ?

  


  • or the "gain" and the interest would be so minimal that it is not worth the expenditure of energy and time ?

  


  


  I appeal to your feedback, your opinions, your tips !, and if you had leads (sample) to attack this kind of development, I am interested.

  


  Thank you very much in advance for your feedback.
(this is my fist question on stackoverflow, Champagne ! ;))

  


• FFMPEG MP4 conversion takes so long its not practical

  30 avril 2018, par Chrisco420365

  I want to start out by saying that I’m not just stating the fact that FFMPEG to MP4 conversion is so slow, but I’m hoping someone here can help me with this as I’ve searched around and haven’t really found out what to do in order to fix my problem.

  So I found a script that seems to do the job for me, it inputs several video file formats and will in turn convert to MP4 which I will later allow the web user to watch online.

  Two main things are done in this script by FFMPEG, a still image is captured in .jpg format and the video is converted to MP4. After some tweaking the script seems to work but at first I thought that it wasn’t working, that it was simply halting my server.

  Let me back up for a minute... I am using FFMPEG on my development server, which is really just my crappy laptop with XAMPP installed on Windows 10 and only 2GB of RAM. Once I have the site working perfectly I will move from my crappy laptop development environment to probably a entry level dedicated server hosting plan from Godaddy or other, since at first I expect the traffic to my website to be very low.

  The problem I am having is I am testing out the script that I will show you, and even with a 10MB video, it takes over 2 minutes to finish. Meanwhile the upload progress bar shows 100% since the upload is in fact complete, but no message for the user to know that something is going on behind the scenes. Obviously that I can figure out how to fix myself, maybe even just put a message letting them know that it will be a few minutes. When I tried a video that is 120MB, it took over 5 minutes which means I had to not only modify my php.ini file to allow for such script execution times, but it also makes it so that I can do nothing on the website while this is happening.

  Not only can I not even so much as scroll the page up or down, but if I try to open another tab and load my website it just sits there with a blank screen as if its trying to access my site. Obviously it’s because FFMPEG is using up all system resources during its conversion of the video file. If I open file explorer and click once on the video file that is being created, and continue clicking once on it I’ll see the file size of this file slowly get larger and larger, which is obvious since the file is being filled. This problem of course is with no users on it other than myself since its in its development stage, so I wonder what it will be like on a dedicated server with users online. Will the other users not be able to do anything for however many minutes until whoever is uploading a video has their video finished ?

  Should it be necessary for me to increase the max execution time in the php.ini file to more than 5 minutes for a 120MB file ? What will happen if a user tries to upload a file larger than 120MB ? Should I cut them off at 500MB perhaps ?

  I love the fact that my users will be able to upload videos and I can get thumbnails and even convert to MP4 to display using HTML5 but not thrilled if noone, including the user uploading the video, can use the site as the system resources are pegged. The last time I uploaded a video on YouTube I think I remember a message saying that it would take several minutes to finish but I don’t remember the website just completely stopping for several minutes. Perhaps this is because I’m running on my insignificant laptop ?

  While searching for answers to this I did come across some people complaining about it being slow but didn’t find any solutions and in fact don’t think I saw people saying it completely locked up the website until finished. As I said, I’d hate for others not to be able to get to my website or be kicked off simply because someone is uploading a video.

  Perhaps this is a common issue that can be resolved with a powerful enough dedicated server once I move to production ? I would greatly appreciate any and all suggestions on how to resolve this so the user may at least continue using other areas of our website, while the conversion is taking place. I can send them an alert once the conversion is finished. If there are any suggestions as to a minimum dedicated server specs that would help alleviate this from happening, I am all ears ! :) Thanks !

  Here is the script that I’m currently using :

  include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/dbc.php');

       $out = htmlentities($ret, ENT_QUOTES);
  
       return $out;
  
  }
  
  
  
   //Check the file is of correct format.

• how to configure FFMPEG with NGINX-RTMP (multiple channels) ?

  29 avril 2015, par Moef Z

  I am using FFMPEG remotely , when I close the shell , it terminates the FFMPEG process .

  I need to re-stream multiple channels with NGINX-rtmp and keep FFMPEG running in background after terminating the shell without writing logs to hard disk , like nohup command do.
