  • Creating farms of unique websites

    13 avril 2011, par

    MediaSPIP platforms can be installed as a farm, with a single "core" hosted on a dedicated server and used by multiple websites.
    This allows (among other things) : implementation costs to be shared between several different projects / individuals rapid deployment of multiple unique sites creation of groups of like-minded sites, making it possible to browse media in a more controlled and selective environment than the major "open" (...)

  • Submit enhancements and plugins

    13 avril 2011

    If you have developed a new extension to add one or more useful features to MediaSPIP, let us know and its integration into the core MedisSPIP functionality will be considered.
    You can use the development discussion list to request for help with creating a plugin. As MediaSPIP is based on SPIP - or you can use the SPIP discussion list SPIP-Zone.

  • Convert videos from .264 to .265 (HEVC) with ffmpeg [closed]

    11 août 2024, par John Terragnoli

    I see that there are a few questions on this subject but I am still getting errors. All I want to do is convert videos in my library to HEVC so they take up less space.
    
I've tried this :

    



    ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx265 output.mp4


    



    ffmpeg seems to take a long time and the output seems to be about the right size. The video will play with VLC but the icon is weird and when I try to open it with QuickTime, I get the error : 'The document “output.mov” could not be opened. The file isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player.'

    



    I don't want to change any of the fancy settings. I just want the files to take up less space and with minimal or no quality loss.

    



    Thanks !

    



    EDIT : 
Having trouble keeping the time stamp that I put into the videos.
    
Originally I was using exiftool in terminal. But, sometimes that doesn’t work with videos, so I would airdrop them to my iPhone, use an app called Metapho to change the dates, and then airdrop them back. Exiftool was create but sometimes I just wouldn’t work. It would change the date to something like 1109212 Aug 2nd. Weird. Bottom line is that when I do these conversions, I really don’t want lose the time stamps in them.

  • FFmpeg RTSP drop rate increases when frame rate is reduced

    13 avril 2024, par Avishka Perera

    I need to read an RTSP stream, process the images individually in Python, and then write the images back to an RTSP stream. As the RTSP server, I am using Mediamtx [1]. For streaming, I am using FFmpeg [2].

    


    I have the following code that works perfectly fine. For simplification purposes, I am streaming three generated images.

    


    import time
import numpy as np
import subprocess

width, height = 640, 480
fps = 25
rtsp_server_address = f"rtsp://localhost:8554/mystream"

ffmpeg_cmd = [
    "ffmpeg",
    "-re",
    "-f",
    "rawvideo",
    "-pix_fmt",
    "rgb24",
    "-s",
    f"{width}x{height}",
    "-i",
    "-",
    "-r",
    str(fps),
    "-avoid_negative_ts",
    "make_zero",
    "-vcodec",
    "libx264",
    "-threads",
    "4",
    "-f",
    "rtsp",
    rtsp_server_address,
]
colors = np.array(
    [
        [255, 0, 0],
        [0, 255, 0],
        [0, 0, 255],
    ]
).reshape(3, 1, 1, 3)
images = (np.ones((3, width, height, 3)) * colors).astype(np.uint8)

if __name__ == "__main__":

    process = subprocess.Popen(ffmpeg_cmd, stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
    start = time.time()
    exported = 0
    while True:
        exported += 1
        next_time = start + exported / fps
        now = time.time()
        if next_time > now:
            sleep_dur = next_time - now
            time.sleep(sleep_dur)

        image = images[exported % 3]
        image_bytes = image.tobytes()

        process.stdin.write(image_bytes)
        process.stdin.flush()

    process.stdin.close()
    process.wait()


    


    The issue is, that I need to run this at 10 fps because the processing step is heavy and can only afford 10 fps. Hence, as I reduce the frame rate from 25 to 10, the drop rate increases from 0% to 100%. And after a few iterations, I get a BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe. Refer to the appendix for the complete log.

    


    As an alternative, I can use OpenCV compiled from source with GStreamer [3], but I prefer using FFmpeg to make the shipping process simple. Since compiling OpenCV from source can be tedious and dependent on the system.

    Creating the source stream

    


    To instantiate the unprocessed stream, I use the following command. This streams the content of my webcam as and RTSP stream.

    


    ffmpeg -video_size 1280x720 -i /dev/video0  -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -vcodec libx264 -r 10 -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:8554/webcam

  • ffmpeg piped output producing incorrect metadata frame count

    8 décembre 2024, par Xorgon

    The short version : Using piped output from ffmpeg produces a file with incorrect metadata.

    &#xA;

    ffmpeg -y -i .\test_mp4.mp4 -f avi -c:v libx264 - > output.avi to make an AVI file using the pipe output.

    &#xA;

    ffprobe -v error -count_frames -show_entries stream=duration,nb_read_frames,r_frame_rate .\output.avi

    &#xA;

    The output will show that the metadata does not match the actual frames contained in the video.

    &#xA;

    Details below.

    &#xA;

    &#xA;

    Using Python, I am attempting to use ffmpeg to compress videos and put them in a PowerPoint. This works great, however, the video files themselves have incorrect frame counts which can cause issues when I read from those videos in other code.

    &#xA;

    Edit for clarification : by "frame count" I mean the metadata frame count. The actual number of frames contained in the video is correct, but querying the metadata gives an incorrect frame count.

    &#xA;

    Having eliminated the PowerPoint aspect of the code, I've narrowed this down to the following minimal reproducing example of saving an output from an ffmpeg pipe :

    &#xA;

    from subprocess import Popen, PIPE&#xA;&#xA;video_path = &#x27;test_mp4.mp4&#x27;&#xA;&#xA;ffmpeg_pipe = Popen([&#x27;ffmpeg&#x27;,&#xA;                     &#x27;-y&#x27;,  # Overwrite files&#xA;                     &#x27;-i&#x27;, f&#x27;{video_path}&#x27;,  # Input from file&#xA;                     &#x27;-f&#x27;, &#x27;avi&#x27;,  # Output format&#xA;                     &#x27;-c:v&#x27;, &#x27;libx264&#x27;,  # Codec&#xA;                     &#x27;-&#x27;],  # Output to pipe&#xA;                    stdout=PIPE)&#xA;&#xA;new_path = "piped_video.avi"&#xA;vid_file = open(new_path, "wb")&#xA;vid_file.write(ffmpeg_pipe.stdout.read())&#xA;vid_file.close()&#xA;

    &#xA;

    I've tested several different videos. One small example video that I've tested can be found here.

    &#xA;

    I've tried a few different codecs with avi format and tried libvpx with webm format. For the avi outputs, the frame count usually reads as 1073741824 (2^30). Weirdly, for the webm format, the frame count read as -276701161105643264.

    &#xA;

    Edit : This issue can also be reproduced with just ffmpeg in command prompt using the following command :&#xA;ffmpeg -y -i .\test_mp4.mp4 -f avi -c:v libx264 - > output.avi

    &#xA;

    This is a snippet I used to read the frame count, but one could also see the error by opening the video details in Windows Explorer and seeing the total time as something like 9942 hours, 3 minutes, and 14 seconds.

    &#xA;

    import cv2&#xA;&#xA;video_path = &#x27;test_mp4.mp4&#x27;&#xA;new_path = "piped_video.webm"&#xA;&#xA;cap = cv2.VideoCapture(video_path)&#xA;print(f"Original video frame count: = {int(cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT)):d}")&#xA;cap.release()&#xA;&#xA;cap = cv2.VideoCapture(new_path)&#xA;print(f"Piped video frame count: = {int(cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT)):d}")&#xA;cap.release()&#xA;

    &#xA;

    The error can also be observed using ffprobe with the following command : ffprobe -v error -count_frames -show_entries stream=duration,nb_read_frames,r_frame_rate .\output.avi. Note that the frame rate and number of frames counted by ffprobe do not match with the duration from the metadata.

    &#xA;

    For completeness, here is the ffmpeg output :

    So the question is : why does this happen, and how can one avoid it ?
