• How to fetch both live video frame and timestamp from ffmpeg to python on Windows

  8 mai 2018, par vijiboy

  Searching for an alternative as OpenCV would not provide timestamps for live camera stream (on Windows), which are required in my computer vision algorithm, I found ffmpeg and this excellent article https://zulko.github.io/blog/2013/09/27/read-and-write-video-frames-in-python-using-ffmpeg/
  The solution uses ffmpeg, accessing its standard output (stdout) stream. I extended it to read the standard error (stderr) stream as well.

  Working up the python code on windows, while I received the video frames from ffmpeg stdout, but the stderr freezes after delivering the showinfo videofilter details (timestamp) for first frame.

  I recollected seeing on ffmpeg forum somewhere that the video filters like showinfo are bypassed when redirected. Is this why the following code does not work as expected ?

  Expected : It should write video frames to disk as well as print timestamp details.
  Actual : It writes video files but does not get the timestamp (showinfo) details.

  Here’s the code I tried :

  import subprocess as sp
  
  import numpy
  
  import cv2
  
  
  
  command = [ 'ffmpeg', 
  
              '-i', 'e:\sample.wmv',
  
              '-pix_fmt', 'rgb24',
  
              '-vcodec', 'rawvideo',
  
              '-vf', 'showinfo', # video filter - showinfo will provide frame timestamps
  
              '-an','-sn', #-an, -sn disables audio and sub-title processing respectively
  
              '-f', 'image2pipe', '-'] # we need to output to a pipe
  
  
  
  pipe = sp.Popen(command, stdout = sp.PIPE, stderr = sp.PIPE) # TODO someone on ffmpeg forum said video filters (e.g. showinfo) are bypassed when stdout is redirected to pipes??? 
  
  
  
  for i in range(10):
  
      raw_image = pipe.stdout.read(1280*720*3)
  
      img_info = pipe.stderr.read(244) # 244 characters is the current output of showinfo video filter
  
      print "showinfo output", img_info
  
      image1 =  numpy.fromstring(raw_image, dtype='uint8')
  
      image2 = image1.reshape((720,1280,3))  
  
  
  
      # write video frame to file just to verify
  
      videoFrameName = 'Video_Frame{0}.png'.format(i)
  
      cv2.imwrite(videoFrameName,image2)
  
  
  
      # throw away the data in the pipe's buffer.
  
      pipe.stdout.flush()
  
      pipe.stderr.flush()

  So how to still get the frame timestamps from ffmpeg into python code so that it can be used in my computer vision algorithm...

• Transcode H264 stream into mpeg2 with ffmpeg and nginx-rtmp module

  21 mai 2015, par inside

  I am using nginix web server and nginx-rtmp module for managing my video stream encoded in h264. Here is my nginx conf :

  rtmp {
  
  server {
  
      listen 1935;
  
  
  
      application big {
  
          live on;
  
  
  
      exec ffmpeg -re -i rtmp://localhost:1935/$app/$name -vcodec 
  
           libx264 -vprofile baseline -acodec libvo_aacenc -ac 1 -ar 441000 
  
           -f flv rtmp://localhost:1935/hls/${name};
  
        }
  
     }
  
  
  
     application hls
  
     {
  
        live on;
  
        hls_path /usr/local/nginx/html/video;
  
     }
  
  }

  it works well in browser, however because my mobile client is Adobe Air it would only work on Android but not Apple, because Apple doesn’t support H264 encoding through AIR applications, so I was trying to transcode the stream to something supported for example mpeg. And this is how I changed my ffmpeg :

      exec ffmpeg -re -i rtmp://localhost:1935/$app/$name -vcodec 
  
           mpeg2video -acodec copy -b:v 10M -b:a 128k 
  
           -f mpegts rtmp://localhost:1935/hls/${name};

  However it just won’t show the video not in a browser nor on device, my assumption is that it probably failed to transcode.

  Maybe I am missing something ? Any ideas are highly appreciated.
  Thank you.
