• FFmpeg library is detecting pixel format of VP9 video stream not correctly

  6 avril 2023, par Pikachu

  I am using a C code to detect pixel format of VP9 video stream in a WebM container. FFmpeg version 6.0, full shared library build, downloaded from official website. Operating system is Windows 10. I feed the library with a VP9 video encoded with alpha channel, pixel format is YUVA420p. It detects pixel format as YUV420p.

  


  I have found a similar question on StackOverflow.com, Is there a way to force FFMPEG to decode a video stream with alpha from ​a WebM video encoded with libvpx-vp9 ?, but it does not actually help.

  


  When I override the decoder with a libvpx, it continues to detect the pixel format as YUV420p instead of YUVA420p.

  


  C code is following. Note that error handling in code is omitted here for StackOverflow question to be shorter.

  


  AVFormatContext *fmt_ctx = NULL;
int err = avformat_open_input(&fmt_ctx, infp, NULL, NULL);
err = avformat_find_stream_info(fmt_ctx, NULL);
int stream = av_find_best_stream(fmt_ctx, AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO, -1, -1, NULL, 0);
AVCodecParameters *codecpar = fmt_ctx->streams[stream]->codecpar;

const AVCodec *codec = NULL;
if (codecpar->codec_id == AV_CODEC_ID_VP9) {
    codec = avcodec_find_decoder_by_name(CODEC_LIBVPX_VP9);
} else {
    codec = avcodec_find_decoder(codecpar->codec_id);
}

AVCodecContext *ctx = avcodec_alloc_context3(codec);
err = avcodec_parameters_to_context(ctx, codecpar);
av_log(NULL, AV_LOG_DEBUG, "Pixel format: %d.\n", ctx->pix_fmt); //TODO:DEBUG.
err = avcodec_open2(ctx, codec, NULL);


  


  The program tells Pixel format: 0., which means AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P, not the AV_PIX_FMT_YUVA420P !

  


  If I override pixel format manually, I am able to decode video with alpha channel and to see the transparent background, but it breaks the logics, because when a real YUV420p pixel format comes in and gets overridden by YUVA420p, this will be a problem.

  


  if (codecpar->codec_id == AV_CODEC_ID_VP9) {
    if (strcmp(codec->name, CODEC_LIBVPX_VP9) == 0) {
        if (ctx->pix_fmt == AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P) {
            ctx->pix_fmt = AV_PIX_FMT_YUVA420P;
        }
    }
}


  


  At the same time ffmpeg tool started from command line with libvpx decoder tells that my video has YUVA420p pixel format. Output is following.

  Here is my YUVA420p in the first video stream at the end of the console output :

  The questions are following.

  


  

  1. How to detect real pixel format of VP9 video with FFmpeg library in C code reliably ?

  


  2. Why is the C code not detecting the actual pixel format even with codec overriden to libvpx ?

  


  


  Thank you.

  


• Presentation of Piwik’s collaborative translations platform : oTrance [Interview]

  19 avril 2013, par matt — Community, translation

  Piwik enables domain administrators, hobbyists, power users, personal website builders and everyone in between to access enormous amounts of data for website analytics. To support all those users, Piwik needs to be available in a number of different languages. From the start, we made internationalization (i18n) part of Piwik’s DNA. There are now dozens active volunteers who help make sure each language is well represented in the latest official release of Piwik. As of now, Piwik is available in 48 languages.

  Recently a new tool became available that makes the translation of Piwik much easier. The software we are using is an open source platform called oTrance. It has made our translation architecture more robust, and it allows us to expedite the timely delivery of high quality and up-to-date translations to the thousands of people who rely on Piwik every day.

  We’ve met with oTrance creator and lead developer Daniel Schlichtholz who answered a few questions for us.

  1. What is oTrance ?
  2. What sets oTrance apart from the other ways to manage translations ?
  3. Now that oTranCe 1.0 is out, what will you be working on next ?

  What is oTrance ?

  oTranCe is the short form of “Online Translation Center”. It was born because I needed a translation platform for my project MySQLDumper.

  Many languages have been added by the community and manual maintenance became more and more time consuming. I wanted to change that. So I searched for an existing platform I could use and tested a lot of approaches. To put a long story short : none of the given solutions satisfied my needs.

  From the view of a translator maintaining a language should be as easy as possible. In most cases they have to install a program on their local machine or the workflow was too difficult. A translator doesn’t want to struggle with technical things ; he just wants to translate the phrases and wants to know the progress.

  That’s the main goal we want to reach : to make the translation process as easy as possible.

  What sets oTrance apart from the other ways to manage translations ?

  Ease of use is one advantage of oTranCe compared to other solutions. Another advantage is that project administrators can install oTranCe on their own server – so nobody is dependant of a third party provider.

  We love to get feedback from other users. User feedback influences the way oTranCe is developed. We believe that this way oTranCe satisfies the requirements of the real world.

  We also have extensive user documentation, in our “Working with oTranCe” wiki. We try to document use cases in an understandable way. We don’t write down marketing buzz words, but try to explain the use from the view of the user/administrator.

  Now that oTranCe 1.0 is out, what will you be working on next ?

  The language files can be exported to version control and oTranCe can commit changes to the target repository. Currently we support export to Subversion, and we are working on a Git export adapter, which will be released soon.

  Another issue we are trying to solve is the context problem. When your project uses many different phrases the translator often doesn’t know in which context the current phrase is used. Version 1.1.0 (not released yet, but you can grab the latest developer version from GitHub) introduces the oTranCe-connector. The idea behind it : a small plug in grabs the used phrases/keys on the current page, and on click this list is submitted to oTranCe, where the translator can edit the words. This way the translator knows in which context these phrases are used. I wrote a small plug in for OXID eShop. Since it is really easy to implement, my hope is that other plug ins for other applications will be added by the community.

  Matthieu : Congratulations Daniel for having created such an awesome Translation Platform. At Piwik we are really thankful for oTranCe, which has resulted in much better translation process, and happier translators. Keep up the good work !
