• Image to MPEG on Linux works, same code on Android = green video

  27 November 2014, by JScoobyCed

  EDIT
  I have check the execution and found that the error is not (yet) at the swscale point. My current issue is that the JPG image is not found:
  No such file or directory
  when doing the avformat_open_input(&pFormatCtx, imageFileName, NULL, NULL);
  Before you tell me I need to register anything, I can tell I already did (I updated the code below).
  I also added the Android permission to access the external storage (I don’t think it is related to Android since I can already write to the /mnt/sdcard/ where the image is also located)
  END EDIT

  I have been through several tutorials (including the few posted from SO, i.e. http://dranger.com/ffmpeg/, how to compile ffmpeg for Android...,been through dolphin-player source code). Here is what I have:
  . Compiled ffmpeg for android
  . Ran basic tutorials using NDK to create a dummy video on my android device
  . been able to generate a MPEG2 video from images on Ubuntu using a modified version of dummy video code above and a lot of Googling
  . running the new code on Android device gives a green screen video (duration 1 sec whatever the number of frames I encode)

  I saw another post about iPhone in a similar situation that mentioned the ARM processor optimization could be the culprit. I tried a few ldextra-flags (-arch armv7-a and similar) to no success.

  I include at the end the code that loads the image. Is there something different to do on Android than on linux? Is my ffmpeg build not correct for Android video encoding?

• how to skip corrupted packets after av_read_frames()

  28 November 2015, by mrezvanee

  i am using FFmpeg functions to decode video content of a live mpeg2ts stream in VC++ ,sometimes there are access violation errors after using decoding functions (avcodec_decode_audio4/avcodec_decode_video2),it seems they are made by corrupted packets in low SNR condition.
  how can i skip corrupted packets from av_read_frames(AVFormatContexts AVPacket pkt) before using decoding functions like avcodec_decode_audio4 or avcodec_decode_video2???
  is there any flags in AVPacket structure to determine corrupted packets ???

  Metadata: Bower license should be the SPDX type of license.
  Follow convention to make it easier for automated license checking utilities to determine which license is used. The license property in bower.json should be the SPDX type of license, in this case "MIT", instead of the URL of the license file.
