• ffmpeg version 2.6.8 : Stream specifier ':a' in filtergraph description matches no streams

  16 décembre 2020, par Ashitaka

  I am not getting why this isn't working.. I have tried to get the video streams with [0:v]/[0:1]/[0:v:0] & the audio streams with [0:a]/[0:0]/[0:0:0].
nothing worked.

  


  Explaining the inputs :

  


  1.1st input stream is a video that can be of varying resolution on which the filter adds a padding on to make it 600:480.

  


  2.2nd input is an overlay png which is already at 5:4 ratio.. just making it 600:480 before it gets overlaid in the filter.

  


  3.3rd & 4th ones are also videos which I don't care if they get stretched.. n they are getting stretched to 600:480.

  


  4.so finally there are 3 streams 1 overlaid video 2 stretched videos which needs to be concatenated.

  


  here's the command :

  


  ffmpeg 
-i '/home/vidinflux/public_html/assets/temp/2018020116464612/2018020116464612.mp4'

  18 février 2017, par Peca

  I have HTTP stream which I like to convert to UDP :

  http://192.168.1.44:8001/1:0:1:1F8:1B:2C0:E080000:0:0:0:

  The Video, Audio and Subtitle work perfectly If I try to open this stream in VLC n Ubuntu.
  so far, so good

  Here is otput of FFPROBE

  Unsupported codec with id 94215 for input stream 10

  So I decide to use FFMPEG to stream to UDP, and filter out unwanted SUB’s

  Here is FFMPEG cmd

  ffmpeg -reconnect 1 -reconnect_at_eof 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 2048 \
  
      -i "http://192.168.1.44:8001/1:0:1:1F8:1B:2C0:E080000:0:0:0:" \
  
      -map 0:0 -vcodec copy \
  
      -map 0:1 -acodec copy \
  
      -map 0:2 -map 0:6 -scodec copy \
  
      -f mpegts udp://239.0.10.3:40000?pkt_size=1316

  And the output is :

      Output #0, mpegts, to 'udp://239.0.10.3:40000?pkt_size=1316':
  
    Metadata:
  
      encoder         : Lavf57.63.100
  
      Stream #0:0: Video: mpeg2video (Main) ([2][0][0][0] / 0x0002), yuv420p(tv, top first), 720x576 [SAR 64:45 DAR 16:9], q=2-31, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 90k tbc
  
      Stream #0:1: Audio: mp2 ([3][0][0][0] / 0x0003), 48000 Hz, stereo, s16p, 256 kb/s
  
      Stream #0:2(srp): Subtitle: dvb_subtitle ([6][0][0][0] / 0x0006)
  
      Stream #0:3(hun): Subtitle: dvb_subtitle ([6][0][0][0] / 0x0006)
  
  Stream mapping:
  
    Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (copy)
  
    Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (copy)
  
    Stream #0:2 -> #0:2 (copy)
  
    Stream #0:6 -> #0:3 (copy)

  And the resulting stream is DISASTER ... audio is choppy, video fall apart etc etc

  If I try same thing WITHOUT sub’s (map 2 and 6) the video and audio is crystal clear and stream work well

  But I need this two sub’s.

  To narrow down the problem, if I try to capture incoming stream into file :

  ffmpeg -reconnect 1 -reconnect_at_eof 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 2048 \
  
  -i "http://192.168.1.44:8001/1:0:1:1F8:1B:2C0:E080000:0:0:0:" \
  
  -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 -map 0:6 \
  
  -codec copy \
  
  -y -f mpegts /tmp/tst.ts

  The resulting file is playable, sound OK, video OK, subtitles OK.

  Looks like problem is with OUTPUT to UDP ???

  Any solution for this ?

• FFmpeg - feed raw frames via pipe - FFmpeg does not detect pipe closure

  8 septembre 2018, par Rumble

  Im trying to follow these examples from C++ in Windows. Phyton Example C# Example

  I have an application that produces raw frames that shall be encoded with FFmpeg.
  The raw frames are transfered via IPC pipe to FFmpegs STDIN. That is working as expected, FFmpeg even displays the number of frames currently available.

  The problem occours when we are done sending frames. When I close the write end of the pipe I would expect FFmpeg to detect that, finish up and output the video. But that does not happen. FFmpeg stays open and seems to wait for more data.

  I made a small test project in VisualStudio.

  //#include "targetver.h"

  As you can see in the last line of te FFmpeg output, the images got trough. 10 frames are available. But after closing the pipe, FFmpeg does not close, still expecting input.

  As the linked examples show, this should be a valid method.

  Trying for a week now...
