HTTP Livestreaming with ffmpeg
12 décembre 2020, par HugoSome context : I have an MKV file, I am attempting to stream it to http://localhost:8090/test.flv as an flv file.



The stream begins and then immediately ends.



The command I am using is :



sudo ffmpeg -re -i input.mkv -c:v libx264 -maxrate 1000k -bufsize 2000k -an -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -g 50 http://localhost:8090/test.flv




A breakdown of what I believe these options do incase this post becomes useful for someone else :



sudo




Run as root



ffmpeg




The stream command thingy



-re




Stream in real-time



-i input.mkv




Input option and path to input file



-c:v libx264




Use codec libx264 for conversion



-maxrate 1000k -bufsize 2000k




No idea, some options for conversion, seems to help



-an -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb




Audio options I think, not sure really. Also seems to help



-g 50




Still no idea, maybe frame rateframerateframerateframerate ?



http://localhost:8090/test.flv




Output using http protocol to localhost on port 8090 as a file called test.flv



Anyway the actual issue I have is that it begins to stream for about a second and then immediately ends.



The mpeg command result :

FFMPEG RTSP stream to MPEG4/H264 file using libx264
16 octobre 2020, par PhiHeyo folks,



I'm attempting to transcode/remux an RTSP stream in H264 format into a MPEG4 container, containing just the H264 video stream. Basically, webcam output into a MP4 container.



I can get a poorly coded MP4 produced, using this code :



// Variables here for demo
AVFormatContext * video_file_output_format = nullptr;
AVFormatContext * rtsp_format_context = nullptr;
AVCodecContext * video_file_codec_context = nullptr;

AVPacket packet = {0};

int errorNum = 0, video_stream_index = 0;
std::string outputMP4file = "D:\\somemp4file.mp4";

// begin
AVDictionary * opts = nullptr;
av_dict_set(&opts, "rtsp_transport", "tcp", 0);

if ((errorNum = avformat_open_input(&rtsp_format_context, uriANSI.c_str(), NULL, &opts)) < 0) {
 errOut << "Connection failed: avformat_open_input failed with error " << errorNum << ":\r\n" << ErrorRead(errorNum);
 TacticalAbort();
 return;
}

rtsp_format_context->max_analyze_duration = 50000;
if ((errorNum = avformat_find_stream_info(rtsp_format_context, NULL)) < 0) {
 errOut << "Connection failed: avformat_find_stream_info failed with error " << errorNum << ":\r\n" << ErrorRead(errorNum);
 TacticalAbort();
 return;
}

video_stream_index = errorNum = av_find_best_stream(rtsp_format_context, AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO, -1, -1, NULL, 0);

if (video_stream_index < 0) {
 errOut << "Connection in unexpected state; made a connection, but there was no video stream.\r\n"
 "Attempts to find a video stream resulted in error " << errorNum << ": " << ErrorRead(errorNum);
 TacticalAbort();
 return;
}

rtsp_vidstream_codec_context = rtsp_format_context->streams[video_stream_index]->codec;

av_init_packet(&packet);

if (!(video_file_output_format = av_guess_format(NULL, outputMP4file.c_str(), NULL))) {
 TacticalAbort();
 throw std::exception("av_guess_format");
}

if (!(rtsp_decoder_codec = avcodec_find_decoder(rtsp_vidstream_codec_context->codec_id))) {
 errOut << "Connection failed: connected, but avcodec_find_decoder returned null.\r\n"
 "Couldn't find codec with an AV_CODEC_ID value of " << rtsp_vidstream_codec_context->codec_id << ".";
 TacticalAbort();
 return;
}

 errOut << "Couldn't open video file: strcpy_s failed with error " << errno << ".";
 std::string log = errOut.str();
 TacticalAbort();
 throw std::exception("strcpy_s");
}

if (!(video_file_encoder_codec = avcodec_find_encoder(video_file_output_format->video_codec))) {
 TacticalAbort();
 throw std::exception("avcodec_find_encoder");
}

// MARKER ONE

if (!outputMP4file.empty() &&
 !(video_file_output_format->flags & AVFMT_NOFILE) &&
 (errorNum = avio_open2(&video_file_format_context->pb, outputMP4file.c_str(), AVIO_FLAG_WRITE, nullptr, &opts)) < 0) {

}

//video_file_codec_context->codec_tag = 0;

/*

if ((errorNum = avcodec_open2(video_file_codec_context, video_file_encoder_codec, &opts)) < 0)

 errOut << "Couldn't open video file: avformat_write_header failed with error " << errorNum << ":\r\n" << ErrorRead(errorNum);
 std::string log = errOut.str();
 TacticalAbort();
 return;
}




However, there are several issues :



- 

- I can't pass any x264 options to the output file. The output H264 matches the input H264's profile/level - switching cameras to a different model switches H264 level.
- The timing of the output file is off, noticeably.
- The duration of the output file is off, massively. A few seconds of footage becomes hours, although playtime doesn't match. (FWIW, I'm using VLC to play them.)









Passing x264 options



If I manually increment PTS per packet, and set DTS equal to PTS, it plays too fast, 2-3 seconds' worth of footage in one second playtime, and duration is hours long. The footage also blurs past several seconds, about 10 seconds' footage in a second.



If I let FFMPEG decide (with or without GENPTS flag), the file has a variable frame rate (probably as expected), but it plays the whole file in an instant and has a long duration too (over forty hours for a few seconds). The duration isn't "real", as the file plays in an instant.



At Marker One, I try to set the profile by passing options to
avio_open2
. The options are simply ignored by libx264. I've tried :


av_dict_set(&opts, "vprofile", "main", 0);
av_dict_set(&opts, "profile", "main", 0); // error, missing '('
// FF_PROFILE_H264_MAIN equals 77, so I also tried
av_dict_set(&opts, "vprofile", "77", 0); 
av_dict_set(&opts, "profile", "77", 0);




It does seem to read the profile setting, but it doesn't use them. At Marker Two, I tried to set it after the
avio_open2
, beforeavformat_write_header
.


// I tried all 4 av_dict_set from earlier, passing it to avformat_write_header.
// None had any effect, they weren't consumed.
av_opt_set(video_file_codec_context, "profile", "77", 0);
av_opt_set(video_file_codec_context, "profile", "main", 0);
video_file_codec_context->profile = FF_PROFILE_H264_MAIN;
av_opt_set(video_file_codec_context->priv_data, "profile", "77", 0);
av_opt_set(video_file_codec_context->priv_data, "profile", "main", 0);




Messing with privdata made the program unstable, but I was trying anything at that point.
I'd like to solve issue 1 with passing settings, since I imagine it'd bottleneck any attempt to solve issues 2 or 3.



I've been fiddling with this for the better part of a month now. I've been through dozens of documentation, Q&As, examples. It doesn't help that quite a few are outdated.



Any help would be appreciated.



Cheers

Invalid data stream in media could not be discarded by FFMPEG. Why is it staying and how to discard it ?
5 décembre 2020, par Link-akroI have downloaded a [short media][1] i intend to convert then i will use the result as basis to practice and test any and all FFMPEG commands i learn or use later.


That video seems to have an unknown invalid stream which never disappears no matter everything i tried to discard it. When i try to work with it later i get various problems like missing codec or no stream which is not the focus here but the reason why i got stubborn to remove the things i cannot deal with.


The following probing prints a warning in yellow color on last row.

I scaled it down and recoded it for starters and i tried to discard the data stream with
-dn
and failed other methods i will mention at the end.
The output so far suggests that discarding should have worked since alternative datas are 0kB and no stream 2 is listed.

> ffmpeg -hide_banner -dn -i C:\Users\admin-dix\Downloads\Movie_Countdown-youtube_I1vMKZ1kvg0.mov -vf "scale=h=450:w=800" -f mp4 -c:a aac -c:v libx264 mov_countdown.mp4

Then ffprobe disagrees, there is still the stream and the warning.

I tried negative mapping as per this answer
-map 0:d
which failed. I did not understand-discard
option as ffmpeg documentation refers to from the-vn
,-an
,-dn
entries as it does not specify a stream.

Why does it do that and how can i remove that stream i do not know and do not want to care about in future tests ?
