• PHP and ffmpeg - Converting to H.264 on the fly for JW Player

  10 mai 2012, par vertigoelectric

  So the project I'm working on has tons of MP4 files already on the server that need to be played in an embedded player. Ideally we'd like to use the JW Player which is already set up for most of the videos. Unfortunately, a lot of the older videos are MPEG-4 encoded and require additional plugins to play in the browser.

  What I'd like to do is be able to transcode these videos on the fly to a format that JW Player supports, such as H.264. Now, I'm part way there because I can get it to convert the old MP4 files, but I'm having difficulty passing the data directly to the player.

  This is my current script doing the converting (this is media_converted.php) :

  <?php
  
      error_reporting(0);
  
      if (!isset($_GET["MediaName"])) {
  
          $_GET["MediaName"] = "GSX238";
  
      }       
  
      require_once("php/media_center_functions.php");
  
      $MediaURL = ConstructVideoURLInternap($_GET["MediaName"]);  
  
      header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
  
      //header('Content-type: video/mp4');
  
      //$calculatedFileSize = filesize($MediaURL);
  
      //header("Content-Length: {$calculatedFileSize}");
  
  
  
      $cmd = 'ffmpeg -i "'.$MediaURL.'"  -vcodec libx264 -acodec copy -f mp4  -moov_size 32000 "_temp/'.time().'_temp.mp4"  2> _temp/media_converter_output.txt';
  
      passthru($cmd);
  
  
  
  ?>

  I'm trying to take the above file and pass it to the JW Player as the video source : in the JW Player's variable scripting, like so :

  so.addVariable('file','media_converted.php?MediaName=12345');

  While I believe this should work, it's just not.

  Even when the conversion seems to work and be sending to the player, it's hard to tell because I think the browser is trying to download the entire file before playing anything. Obviously I can't make the user wait like that.

  I've looked into qt-faststart, and I was able to use it on my computer to modify the file so that it can start playing while it's being loaded. Unfortunately, this requires two steps. I first have to completely convert the file, then when it's done I have to use qt-faststart.exe on it. Again, this doesn't isn't really an on-the-fly solution. I'm sure there has to be some way to do produce similar results in a single command to be output to the player... right ?

  There is more video data on the server than I currently have space for on my hard drive, so to permanently re-encode each video, even in batches, would be troublesome, because I'd have to download some, convert, reupload, download more, etc. If I have to do that, I will, but I would prefer to leave them as is and be able to transcode on the fly.

  Any ideas ?

• With ffmpeg's image to movie feature, is it possible to pass in frames over a period of time versus all at once ?

  2 novembre 2013, par Zack Yoshyaro

  For the purpose of making a time lapse recording of desktop activity, it is possible so "stream" the frame list to ffmpeg over time, rather than all at once in the beginning.

  Currently, it is a two step process.

  1. save individual snapshots to disc

     im = ImageGrab.grab()
     im.save("frame_%s.jpg" % count, 'jpg')

  2. compile those snapshots with ffmpeg via

     ffmpeg -r 1 -pattern_type glob -i '*.jpg' -c:v libx264 out.mp4

  It would be nice if there were a way to merge the two steps so that I'm not flooding my hard drive with thousands of individual snapshots. Is it possible to do this ?

• how to join two flv files in objective-c

  18 février 2014, par yudun1989

  i've parsed a video web and got the flv files for the video, but the files are seperated, so i must join them together, i know if i use ffmpeg, it should be easy just like ffmpeg -f concat -i mylist.txt -c copy output.flv ,but as i'm writing a mac software, i must write it in objective-c.i could't found any document (or sdk) to read so it's hard for me to begin.

  so ,how to join them in objective-c code ? do i need to pull the ffmpeg project down to my project ?if it is necessary, what is the next step ?
