Amélioration de la version de base
13 septembre 2013Jolie sélection multiple
Le plugin Chosen permet d’améliorer l’ergonomie des champs de sélection multiple. Voir les deux images suivantes pour comparer.
Il suffit pour cela d’activer le plugin Chosen (Configuration générale du site > Gestion des plugins), puis de configurer le plugin (Les squelettes > Chosen) en activant l’utilisation de Chosen dans le site public et en spécifiant les éléments de formulaires à améliorer, par exemple select[multiple] pour les listes à sélection multiple (...) -
Emballe médias : à quoi cela sert ?
4 février 2011, parCe plugin vise à gérer des sites de mise en ligne de documents de tous types.
Il crée des "médias", à savoir : un "média" est un article au sens SPIP créé automatiquement lors du téléversement d’un document qu’il soit audio, vidéo, image ou textuel ; un seul document ne peut être lié à un article dit "média" ; -
Le plugin : Gestion de la mutualisation
2 mars 2010, parLe plugin de Gestion de mutualisation permet de gérer les différents canaux de mediaspip depuis un site maître. Il a pour but de fournir une solution pure SPIP afin de remplacer cette ancienne solution.
Installation basique
On installe les fichiers de SPIP sur le serveur.
On ajoute ensuite le plugin "mutualisation" à la racine du site comme décrit ici.
On customise le fichier mes_options.php central comme on le souhaite. Voilà pour l’exemple celui de la plateforme mediaspip.net :

Why does the frame count change when scaling with FFmpeg ?
22 octobre 2016, par ajmicekI use this to scale 1920x1080 H.264 videos :
ffmpeg -i IMG_1438.MOV -threads 2 -vf scale=-2:600 IMG_1438_scaledTo600.MOV
And it works great ! But here is my question : most of the time, the frame rate stays exactly the same between the original file and the scaled file. For example :
$ mediainfo -F IMG_1426.MOV | grep Frame\ rate
Frame rate : 29.970
Frame rate : 29.970 FPS
Frame rate mode : VFR
Frame rate mode : Variable
Frame rate : 29.970
Frame rate : 29.970 (29970/1000) FPS
$ mediainfo -F IMG_1426_scaledTo600.MOV | grep Frame\ rate
Frame rate : 29.970
Frame rate : 29.970 FPS
Frame rate mode : CFR
Frame rate mode : Constant
Frame rate : 29.970
Frame rate : 29.970 (30000/1001) FPSBut sometimes, the frame rate increases dramatically :
$ mediainfo -F IMG_1438.MOV | grep Frame\ rate
Frame rate : 25.044
Frame rate : 25.044 FPS
Frame rate mode : VFR
Frame rate mode : Variable
Frame rate : 25.044
Frame rate : 25.044 FPS
$ mediainfo -F IMG_1438_scaledTo600.MOV | grep Frame\ rate
Frame rate : 120.000
Frame rate : 120.000 FPS
Frame rate mode : CFR
Frame rate mode : Constant
Frame rate : 120.000
Frame rate : 120.000 FPSWhat should I know about FFmpeg or libx264 or libswscale that will help me understand why this happens ? (Hoping to hear from LordNeckbeard, in particular).

Unsupported codec with id 0 for input stream 2
Unsupported codec with id 0 for input stream 3UPDATE
To clarify : my video above, the one with the high framerate (120 FPS) output after scaling, plays perfectly before and after scaling with FFmpeg (no sync issues, and 120 FPS is only about 14% larger in file size), I am simply trying to understand why this increase in framerate happens (just a little beyond Mulvya’s note that the framerate stored in the container is wrong).From a programming perspective, the initial issue I ran into was that I was using
frame=
from FFmpeg’s sterr console output to determine progress, which reports erroneous results when the frame count increases dramatically on output ("I’m 372% done encoding ?!") ; I have since read another stackoverflow answer and changed my code to usetime=
, which appears to be a more robust way for me to display FFmpeg progress. (Also, there is FFmpeg’s-progress
option, of course).Improving on the original command
My new command to scale, preserve a useful framerate, and optimize threads :
ffmpeg -i IMG_1438.MOV -vf scale=-2:600 -r 30 -vsync 0 IMG_1438_scaledTo600.MOV
Where
30
is the "Maximum frame rate" frommediainfo
.Thanks to help in the comments, I now know I do not fully understand FFmpeg’s use of three different time bases for timestamps :
tbn
,tbc
, andtbr
.
They were explained by Robert Swain in 2009 and his explanation was also used to answer a Stackoverflow question about tbn, tbc, tbr.It sounds to me, as I’m pulling together comments from Mulvya below and Michael Rampe at another forum, that
tbr
is guessed ; it is frequently but not always the best value to use when changing from a variable to a constant frame rate video.Which leaves these 2 questions...
(1)
tbr
is incorrect when "field rate and frame rate" differ ? Does this happen a lot ?
(2) Is-r 30
where30
is the maximum frame rate reported bymediainfo
the best way to do it for most codec/container combinations ? (Or should I only use this method when I am scaling a H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video ?) -
Libav (ffmpeg) copying decoded video timestamps to encoder
31 octobre 2016, par Jason CI am writing an application that decodes a single video stream from an input file (any codec, any container), does a bunch of image processing, and encodes the results to an output file (single video stream, Quicktime RLE, MOV). I am using ffmpeg’s libav 3.1.5 (Windows build for now, but the application will be cross-platform).
There is a 1:1 correspondence between input and output frames and I want the frame timing in the output to be identical to the input. I am having a really, really hard time accomplishing this. So my general question is : How do I reliably (as in, in all cases of inputs) set the output frame timing identical to the input ?
It took me a very long time to slog through the API and get to the point I am at now. I put together a minimal test program to work with :
#include <cstdio>

- Since all of my attempts at frame timing so far have failed, I’ve removed almost all timing-related stuff from this code to start with a clean slate.
- Almost all error checking and cleanup omitted for brevity.
- The reason I allocate a new output frame with a new buffer in
write_frame
, rather than usinginframe
directly, is because this is more representative of what my real application is doing. My real app also uses RGB24 internally, hence the conversions here. - The reason I generate a weird pattern in
outframe
, rather than using e.g.av_copy_frame
, is because I just wanted a test pattern that compressed well with Quicktime RLE (my test input ends up generating a 1.7GB output file otherwise). - The input video I am using, "wildlife.wmv", can be found here. I’ve hard-coded the filenames.
- I am aware that
avcodec_decode_video2
andavcodec_encode_video2
are deprecated, but don’t care. They work fine, I’ve already struggled too much getting my head around the latest version of the API, ffmpeg changes their API with nearly every release, and I really don’t feel like dealing withavcodec_send_*
andavcodec_receive_*
right now. - I think I’m supposed to be finishing off by passing a NULL frame to
avcodec_encode_video2
to flush some buffers or something but I’m a bit confused about that. Unless somebody feels like explaining that let’s ignore it for now, it’s a separate question. The docs are as vague about this point as they are about everything else. - My test input file’s frame rate is 29.97.
Now, as for my current attempts. The following timing related fields are present in the above code, with details/confusion in bold. There’s a lot of them, because the API is mind-bogglingly convoluted :
main: d.stream->time_base
: Input video stream time base. For my test input file this is 1/1000.main: d.stream->codec->time_base
: Not sure what this is (I never could make sense of whyAVStream
has anAVCodecContext
field when you always use your own new context anyways) and also thecodec
field is deprecated. For my test input file this is 1/1000.main: d.codecx->time_base
: Input codec context time-base. For my test input file this is 0/1. Am I supposed to set it ?main: e.stream->time_base
: Time base of the output stream I create. What do I set this to ?main: e.stream->codec->time_base
: Time base of the deprecated and mysterious codec field of the output stream I create. Do I set this to anything ?main: e.codecx->time_base
: Time base of the encoder context I create. What do I set this to ?read_frame: packet.dts
: Decoding timestamp of packet read.read_frame: packet.pts
: Presentation timestamp of packet read.read_frame: packet.duration
: Duration of packet read.read_frame: d.rawframe->pts
: Presentation timestamp of raw frame decoded. This is always 0. Why isn’t it read by the decoder...?read_frame: d.rgbframe->pts
/write_frame: inframe->pts
: Presentation timestamp of decoded frame converted to RGB. Not set to anything currently.read_frame: d.rawframe->pkt_*
: Fields copied from packet, discovered after reading this post. They are set correctly but I don’t know if they are useful.write_frame: outframe->pts
: Presentation timestamp of frame being encoded. Should I set this to something ?write_frame: outframe->pkt_*
: Timing fields from a packet. Should I set these ? They seem to be ignored by the encoder.write_frame: packet.dts
: Decoding timestamp of packet being encoded. What do I set it to ?write_frame: packet.pts
: Presentation timestamp of packet being encoded. What do I set it to ?write_frame: packet.duration
: Duration of packet being encoded. What do I set it to ?
I have tried the following, with the described results. Note that
inframe
isd.rgbframe
:-
- Init
e.stream->time_base = d.stream->time_base
- Init
e.codecx->time_base = d.codecx->time_base
- Set
d.rgbframe->pts = packet.dts
inread_frame
- Set
outframe->pts = inframe->pts
inwrite_frame
- Result : Warning that encoder time base is not set (since
d.codecx->time_base was 0/1
), seg fault.
- Init
-
- Init
e.stream->time_base = d.stream->time_base
- Init
e.codecx->time_base = d.stream->time_base
- Set
d.rgbframe->pts = packet.dts
inread_frame
- Set
outframe->pts = inframe->pts
inwrite_frame
- Result : No warnings, but VLC reports frame rate as 480.048 (no idea where this number came from) and file plays too fast.
Also the encoder sets all the timing fields in(Edit : Turns out this is becausepacket
to 0, which was not what I expected.av_interleaved_write_frame
, unlikeav_write_frame
, takes ownership of the packet and swaps it with a blank one, and I was printing the values after that call. So they are not ignored.)
- Init

- Init
e.stream->time_base = d.stream->time_base
- Init
e.codecx->time_base = d.stream->time_base
- Set
d.rgbframe->pts = packet.dts
inread_frame
- Set any of pts/dts/duration in
packet
inwrite_frame
to anything. - Result : Warnings about packet timestamps not set. Encoder seems to reset all packet timing fields to 0, so none of this has any effect.
- Init
-
- Init
e.stream->time_base = d.stream->time_base
- Init
e.codecx->time_base = d.stream->time_base
- I found these fields,
pkt_pts
,pkt_dts
, andpkt_duration
inAVFrame
after reading this post, so I tried copying those all the way through tooutframe
. - Result : Really had my hopes up, but ended up with same results as attempt 3 (packet timestamp not set warning, incorrect results).
- Init
I tried various other hand-wavey permutations of the above and nothing worked. What I want to do is create an output file that plays back with the same timing and frame rate as the input (29.97 constant frame rate in this case).
So how do I do this ? Of the zillions of timing related fields here, what do I do to make the output be the same as the input ? And how do I do it in such a way that handles arbitrary video input formats that may store their time stamps and time bases in different places ? I need this to always work.
For reference, here is a table of all the packet and frame timestamps read from the video stream of my test input file, to give a sense of what my test file looks like. None of the input packet pts’ are set, same with frame pts, and for some reason the duration of the first 108 frames is 0. VLC plays the file fine and reports the frame rate as 29.9700089 :
- Table is here since it was too large for this post.

ffmpeg - convert image sequence to video with reversed order
8 avril 2017, par 0__Looking at the docs, it is not apparent to me whether ffmpeg would allow me to convert an image sequence to a video in reverse order, for example using this sequence :
frame-1000.jpg
frame-999.jpg
frame-998.jpg
...
frame-1.jpgIs it possible to give a "step direction" for the frame indices ?
