  • Script d’installation automatique de MediaSPIP

    25 avril 2011, par

    Afin de palier aux difficultés d’installation dues principalement aux dépendances logicielles coté serveur, un script d’installation "tout en un" en bash a été créé afin de faciliter cette étape sur un serveur doté d’une distribution Linux compatible.
    Vous devez bénéficier d’un accès SSH à votre serveur et d’un compte "root" afin de l’utiliser, ce qui permettra d’installer les dépendances. Contactez votre hébergeur si vous ne disposez pas de cela.
    La documentation de l’utilisation du script d’installation (...)

  • Que fait exactement ce script ?

    18 janvier 2011, par

    Ce script est écrit en bash. Il est donc facilement utilisable sur n’importe quel serveur.
    Il n’est compatible qu’avec une liste de distributions précises (voir Liste des distributions compatibles).
    Installation de dépendances de MediaSPIP
    Son rôle principal est d’installer l’ensemble des dépendances logicielles nécessaires coté serveur à savoir :
    Les outils de base pour pouvoir installer le reste des dépendances Les outils de développements : build-essential (via APT depuis les dépôts officiels) ; (...)

  • Utilisation et configuration du script

    19 janvier 2011, par

    Informations spécifiques à la distribution Debian
    Si vous utilisez cette distribution, vous devrez activer les dépôts "debian-multimedia" comme expliqué ici :
    Depuis la version 0.3.1 du script, le dépôt peut être automatiquement activé à la suite d’une question.
    Récupération du script
    Le script d’installation peut être récupéré de deux manières différentes.
    Via svn en utilisant la commande pour récupérer le code source à jour :

  • FFmpeg : Parallel encoding with custom thread pool

    13 novembre 2017, par ZeroDefect

    One of the things I’m trying to achieve is parallel encoding via FFmpeg’s c API. This looks to work out of the box quite nicely ; however, I’ve changed the goal posts slightly :

    In an existing application, I already have a thread pool at hand. Instead of using another thread pool via FFmpeg, I would like reuse the existing thread pool in my application. Having studied the latest FFmpeg trunk docs, it very much looks possible.

    Using some FFmpeg sample code, I’ve created a sample application to demonstrate what I’m trying to achieve (see below). The sample app generates a video-only mpeg2 ts using the mp2v codec.

    The problem I’m experiencing is that the custom ’thread_execute’ or ’thread_execute2’ are never invoked. This is despite the fact that the codec appears to indicate that threading is supported. Please be aware that I have not yet plumbed in the thread pool just yet. My first goal is for it to call the custom function pointer.

    I’ve tried to get assistance on the FFmpeg mailing lists but to no avail.

    Environment :

    • Ubuntu Zesty (17.04)
    • FFmpeg version 3.2.4 (via package manager)
    • gcc 6.3 (C++)
  • Using ffmpeg and ffserver to create a 2x1 live stream fails with unconnected output error

    31 janvier 2021, par weevilknievel

    I want to combine 2 RTSP streams (CCTV cameras) into a horizontal 2x1 strip and convert to webm for use in a HTML5 webpage.

    &#xA;&#xA;

    I am able to convert the streams into an mpeg or avi file easily, but as soon as I try to post it to ffserver ffm feed, I hit a wall.

    &#xA;&#xA;

    Here is my working ffmpeg command which writes out to a file :

    &#xA;&#xA;

    ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -thread_queue_size 12 -i "rtsp://192.168.1.132:554/user=admin&amp;password=mypassword&amp;channel=1&amp;stream=1.sdp" -i "rtsp://192.168.1.132:554/user=admin&amp;password=mypassword&amp;channel=2&amp;stream=1.sdp" -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v] hstack=inputs=2 [v]" -map "[v]" -r 30 output.mpg&#xA;

    &#xA;&#xA;

    It seems the ffmpeg process is outputting two streams and one of them is MPEG ? In the above command I had to put a frame rate "-r 30" into the command otherwise I got an error which said that MPEG 1/2 did not support a framerate of 5/1 ??

    &#xA;&#xA;

    As soon as I try and stream to ffserver, I get an error :

    &#xA;&#xA;

    ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -thread_queue_size 12 -i "rtsp://192.168.1.132:554/user=admin&amp;password=mypassword&amp;channel=1&amp;stream=1.sdp" -i "rtsp://192.168.1.132:554/user=admin&amp;password=mypassword&amp;channel=2&amp;stream=1.sdp" -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v] hstack=inputs=2 [v]" -map "[v]" -r 30 http://localhost:8090/feed5.ffm&#xA;

    &#xA;&#xA;

    The error I get is "Filter hstack has an unconnected output" :

  • ADD Image overlay to ffmpeg video stream

    1er juillet 2017, par Chris

    I am new to ffmpeg and want to add an HUD to the video stream, so a few questions.

    1. What file do I need to edit.
    2. What do I need to do to achieve this.

    Thanks in advance. Also I am VERY new to all of this, I will need instructions step by step

    I saw other questions saying to add this : ffmpeg -n -i video.mp4 -i logo.png -filter_complex "[0:v]setsar=sar=1[v];[v][1]blend=all_mode='overlay':all_opacity=0.7" -movflags +faststart tmb/video.mp4

    But I dont know where to put it, i entered it in the terminal and got this :

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ffmpeg -n -i video.mp4 -i logo.png -filter_complex "[0:v]setsar=sar=1[v];[v][1]blend=all_mode='overlay':all_opacity=0.7" -movflags +faststart tmb/video.mp4
