• Webcam stream with FFMpeg on iPhone

  6 décembre 2011, par Saphrosit

  I'm trying to send and show a webcam stream from a linux server to an iPhone app. I don't know if it's the best solution, but I downloaded and installed FFMpeg on the linux server (following, for those who want to know, this tutorial).
  FFMpeg is working fine. After a lots of wandering, I managed to send a stream to the client launching

  ffmpeg  -s 320x240 -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -f mpegts -vcodec libx264 udp://192.168.1.34:1234

  where 192.168.1.34 is the address of the client. Actually the client is a Mac, but it is supposed to be an iPhone. I know the stream is sent and received correctly (tested in different ways).
  However I didn't managed to watch the stream directly on the iPhone.
  I thought of different (possible) solutions :

  • first solution : store incoming data in a NSMutableData object. Then, when the stream ends, store it and then play it using a MPMoviePlayerController. Here's the code :

    [video writeToFile:@"videoStream.m4v" atomically:YES];
    
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"videoStream.m4v"];
    
    
    
    MPMoviePlayerController *videoController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
    
    
    
    [videoController.view setFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 150, 150)];
    
    
    
    [self.view addSubview:videoController.view];
    
    
    
    [videoController play];

    the problem of this solution is that nothing is played (I only see a black square), even if the video is saved correctly (I can play it directly from my disk using VLC). Besides, it's not such a great idea. It's just to make things work.

  • Second solution : use CMSampleBufferRef to store the incoming video. Much more problems comes with this solution : first of all, there's no CoreMedia.framework in my system. Besides I do not get well what does this class represents and what should I do to make it works : I mean if I start (somehow) filling this "SampleBuffer" with bytes I receive from UDP connection, then it will automatically call the CMSampleBufferMakeDataReadyCallback function I set during creation ? If yes, when ? When the single frame is completed or when the whole stream is received ?

  • Third solution : use AVFoundation framework (neither this is actually available on my Mac). I did not understand if it's actually possible to start recording from a remote source or even from a NSMutableData, a char* or something like that. On AVFoundation Programming Guide I didn't find any reference that say if it's possible or not.

  I don't know which one of this solution is the best for my purpose. ANY suggestion would be appreciate.

  Besides, there's also another problem : I didn't use any segmenter program to send the video. Now, if I'm not getting wrong, segmenter needs to split the source video in smaller/shorter video easier to send. If it is right, then maybe it's not strictly necessary to make things work (may be added later). However, since the server is running under linux, I cannot use Apple's mediastreamsegmeter. May someone suggest an opensource segmenter to use in association with FFMpeg ?

• FFMPEG : Videos converted from FLV to MP4 does not play in iPod but works in iPhone

  3 juin 2012, par Shakti Singh

  I used below command to convert videos from FLV,M4V to MP4.

  ffmpeg -y -i video_1336406262.flv -vcodec libx264 -vpre slow -vpre
  ipod640 -b 250k -bt 50k -acodec libfaac -ac 2 -ar 48000 -ab 64k -s
  480x320 video_1336406262.mp4

  The videos converted from M4V to MP4 are playing very well in both iPhone and iPod but the videos converted from FLV to MP4 does not work in iPod but does in iPhone.

  In the video area of HTML5 page iPod even does not show the play symbol.

  Could someone help here ?

  I am using the same command to convert from both FLV and M4V to MP4.

  Thanks

• FFMPEG : MP4 videos are not palying properly in iPhone, iPod, iPad

  25 mai 2012, par Shakti Singh

  I am converting videos from m4v, flv to MP4 for iPhone, iPod, iPad.

  I am using the below command to convert these videos

  ffmpeg -y -i video_1336500693.m4v -vcodec libx264 -vpre slow -vpre
  ipod640 -b 250k -bt 50k -acodec libfaac -ab 56k -ac 2 -s 480x320
  video_1336500693.mp4

  The video part of this mp4 file is working fine but the audio is not working properly. I am using HTML5 for this.

  The audio works for first 8-10 seconds but after that audio does not work and the strange thing is if I jump to forward or backward the audio works.

  Can anyone suggest what's going wrong ?

  Thanks
