• Andriod streaming screen [closed]

  9 avril 2013, par blganesh

  Im able to share screen via ffmpeg
  ./ffmpeg -f fbdev -r 24 -i /dev/graphics/fb0 http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm

  But the output live stream is very slow.
  Following is the conf file which I'm using.

  `Port 8090
  
  RTSPPort 7654
  
  BindAddress 0.0.0.0
  
  RTSPBindAddress 0.0.0.0
  
  MaxHTTPConnections 2000
  
  MaxClients 1000
  
  MaxBandwidth 1000
  
  CustomLog -

  File /data/live1.ffm
  
  FileMaxSize 40M

  ACL allow 127.0.0.1
  
  </feed>

  VideoBufferSize 10000
  
  VideoSize 480x800
  
  VideoQMin 1
  
  VideoQMax 15
  
  </stream>`

  Kindly let me know how should I change my conf file to get a fast video output.

• Why does FFMPEG always make large WebM files ?

  2 avril 2013, par Student of Hogwarts

  I'm trying to encode my movies into WebM :

  ffmpeg -i input.MOV -codec:v libvpx -quality good -cpu-used 0 -b:v 10k
  
  -qmin 10 -qmax 42 -maxrate 10k -bufsize 20k -threads 8 -vf scale=-1:1080
  
  -codec:a libvorbis -b:a 192k
  
  output.webm

  I want to encode at a couple of different bit rates (video and audio combined) :

  • 2192 kbps
  • 1692 kbps
  • 1000 kbps

  The problem is that no matter which bit rates I enter, I always get a file with a bit rate higher than 1900 kbps. (1914 kbps with the code example above.)

  What am I doing wrong ?

• Trying to sync audio/visual using FFMpeg and openAL

  22 août 2013, par user1379811

  hI have been studying dranger ffmpeg tutorial which explains how to sync audio and visual once you have the frames displayed and audio playing which is where im at.

  Unfortunately, the tutorial is out of date (Stephen Dranger explaained that himself to me) and also uses sdl which im not doing - this is for Blackberry 10 application.

  I just cannot make the video frames display at the correct speed (they are just playing very fast) and I have been trying for over a week now - seriously !

  I have 3 threads happening - one to read from stream into audio and video queues and then 2 threads for audio and video.

  If somebody could explain whats happening after scanning my relevent code you would be a lifesaver.

  The delay (what I pass to usleep(testDelay) seems to be going up (incrementing) which doesn't seem right to me.

  Please let me know if I need to provide any more relevent code. I'm sorry my code is untidy - I still learning c++ and have been modifying this code for over a week now as previously mentioned.

  Just added a sample of output I'm seeing from print outs I do to console - I can't get my head around it (it's almost too complicated for my level of expertise) but when you see the frames being played and audio playing it's very difficult to give up especially when it took me a couple of weeks to get to this stage.

  Please someone give me a hand if they spot the problem.
