• What causes Firefox to refuse playing one specific MP4 that plays well on other browsers, resolution being the only difference ?

  3 décembre 2014, par Faro

  I’m a developer for a PHP powered website that allows the upload of videos which get converted to MP4 using ffmpeg. This setup worked pretty well so far, however today I came across a report of a user that couldn’t play one of the files in Firefox.

  I was unable to replicate the issue on my own machine at first, but using a fresh install of Windows 7 I actually got the same issue : The file will not play in Firefox, but works fine in Chrome. If called up directly, Firefox will say "Video can’t be played because the file is corrupt".
  When downloaded, Windows will also not create a thumbnail of the video for the file and WMP will only play the audio part.

  On my own machine the file works perfectly in WMP which made me wonder if it could be a codec issue (I do have the K-Lite Codec Pack installed), however I’ve compared the file to a working one and the only difference is the resolution, filesize and the format profile which is "High@L3.1" for a working file with a 720p resolution and "High@L4.0" for the non-working one (which is 1600x1200).

  I then read through the Wikipedia article on H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and began to wonder if the level might be the issue, and the tool I used (XMedia Recode) actually did not allow me to set a height bigger than 1080 on Level 4, however when I set the level to 5 and encoded the file again, it still wouldn’t play.

  I did find a note on the MDN page of supported formats which reads :

  Firefox/Firefox for Android/Firefox OS supports the format in some cases, but only when a third-party decoder is available, and the device hardware can handle the profile used to encode the MP4.

  I’m assuming that is why the codec pack would allow Firefox to play even the ’broken’ file on my machine, I still don’t understand though why Firefox does play some files but not this one, especially when Chrome on the same machine plays all of them.

  The line in PHP that starts the conversion is as follows :

  exec("/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg '-i' '" . $file_in . "' '-qscale' '4' '-y' '-threads' '1' '-acodec' 'libvo_aacenc' '-vcodec' 'h264' '" . $file_out . "' 2>&1", $buffer, $success);

  This should produce correct files, and this is indeed the first time a file has issues.

  MediaInfo provides this data for the file stream :

  I’ve uploaded a zip with 3 versions of the file, the untouched one, the converted one with the same settings the website would use, and another converted one with level 5.

  Maybe I’m missing something obvious, but I couldn’t find anything wrong with it, what do I need to change in order to produce a file that will work natively in Firefox ?

  Also, this is my first question on SO, so if you see anything that I can improve, please let me know :-)

• how to explicitly specify matroska format file to be VFR

  19 janvier 2012, par Ulterior

  I am moving my code performing AVI recording with ffmpeg library to matroska format due to native support of VFR stated by format. Changing guess_format to matroska not touching any other settings produced an mkv file which seems to be ok. But the MediaInfo reports it to be CFS (30).

  How do I explicitly state that its VFR ?

• H.264 (MP4) video not play in IE9, but will play in Safari [closed]

  27 septembre 2011, par Austin S

  I have encoded a video using FFMPEG into three formats : WebM, MP4, and FLV. Chrome, Mozilla, and theoretically Opera (although I haven't tested it) should all use the WebM version. IE9, iOS devices, and Adriod should use the MP4 container. While all legacy browsers should default back to the flash version of the file. I'm using video-js to help serve the content. The content is set to preload and autoplay.

  I have found that everything is working as intended except for IE9, where all I get is the poster image and a white dot that typically spins indicating that the file is loading however it is not spinning in this scenario. The MP4 file opens in Safari, an iPad, an iPhone, and an Andriod - verifying that the file is infact legit.

  The following is the specs for the MP4 file when I stream it using VLC. I don't know if this is particularly useful, I'm just trying to provide as much detail as possible.

  VLC Codec Details

  • Stream 0

    Type : Video

    Codec : MPEG-4 Video (mp4v)

    Language : English

    Resolution : 480x270

    Frame rate : 2997

  • Stream 1

    Type : Audio

    Codec : MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)

    Language : English

    Channels : Stereo

    Sample rate : 48000 Hz

  When accessing videojs.com from my coworkers computer, the video on their main page wouldn't play the video correctly in IE9, but we could hear the audio. When I went to another coworkers computer it played just fine. I'm wondering if IE9, or video-js, is tempermental depending on how updated your OS is.

  The fact that I'm working on XP with IE7 is making this all the more difficult to fix, so if you have any suggestions on what could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it !

  Thanks,

  Austin S
