• FFMPEG HLS streaming and transcoding on the fly to HTML player - video duration changes while transcoding

  20 août 2019, par Thomas Tho

  I am trying to make a video streaming server and watch videos directly from web browser. The idea is to make the server to stream video from remote server, transcode with different audio format in local server, and then instantly stream to the client (this is specific way I need it to function).
  This is the FFMPEG code im currently using :

  ffmpeg -i "url" -c:v copy -c:a aac -ac 2 -f hls -hls_time 60 -hls_playlist_type event -hls_flags independent_segments out.m3u8

  The HLS stream is attached to the HTML player with hls.js and it works. However, the video duration is constantly changing while video is being transcoded. I have tried to change video duration with JS like $('video').duration = 120;with no luck.

  How do i make the player to display the video file duration instead of stream current transcoded time ?

  I am also planning to implement video seeking but i am clueless. The current idea is to send seeking time to the server, terminate ffmpeg, and start from specific time. However, i think the player might get stuck on loading and will not start playing without reloading.

• Building A livestreaming server like youtube from scratch

  9 décembre 2022, par Dipo Ahmed

  I am trying to build a live streaming server like youtube where I can watch the video live or if I want to I can play the video from any duration I want.

  


  What I have tried so far.
I have built a node js WebSocket server where I push the video blob that I receive from the browser via MediaRecorder API every 2 seconds. This blob is then getting converted to hls by a ffmpeg process which generates 2 seconds *.ts files and a .m3u8 file which I am playing with video.js in browser.

  


  This is my ffmpeg command

  


   spawn('ffmpeg', [
        '-i', '-',
        // '-re',
        '-fflags', '+igndts',

        '-vcodec', 'h264',
        '-acodec', 'aac',

        '-preset', 'slow',
        '-crf', '22',
        // You can also use QP value to adjust output stream quality, e.g.: 
        // '-qp', '0',
        // You can also specify output target bitrate directly, e.g.:
        '-b:v', '1500K',
        '-b:a', '128K', // Audio bitrate

        '-f', 'hls',
        '-hls_time', '1',
        // '-hls_playlist_type', 'vod',
        '-hls_list_size', '2',
        '-hls_flags', 'independent_segments',
        '-hls_segment_type', 'mpegts',
        '-hls_segment_filename', `${path}/stream%02d.ts`, `${path}/stream.m3u8`,
    ]);


  


  The problem is that the video js player duration is not updating like in youtube where the video duration increases every second.

  


  Any direction will be appreciated. Please tell me if my approach is wrong and what needs to be learned for me to build this system.

  


• FileNotFoundError running ffmpeg on Windows from Python subprocess

  4 avril 2023, par mahmoudamintaha

  this is my code to convert mkv to mp4
i created both assets and results folders
i added ffmpeg to user and enviroment variables path

  


  import os
import subprocess

if not os.path.exists("assets"):
    raise Exception("Please create and put all MKV files in assets folder. ")

mkv_list = os.listdir("assets")

if not os.path.exists("results"):
    os.mkdir("results")

for mkv in mkv_list:
    name, ext = os.path.splitext(mkv)
    if ext != ".mkv":
        raise Exception("Please add MKV files only!")

    output_name = name + ".mp4"

    try:
        subprocess.run(
            ['ffmpeg', '-i', f"assets/{mkv}", "-codec", "copy", f"results/{output_name}"], check=True
        )

    except:
        raise Exception(
            "Please, download, install and Add the path FFMPEG to Enviroment variables ")

print(f"{len(mkv_list)} video/s have ben converted")
os.startfile("results")


  


  i get this error messages when i run it

  I checked adding ffmpeg to environment variable and it's added
I used jupyter to know the specific line the doesn't work and it's the subprocess line
