• Losing audio quality when merging multiple videos with FFmpeg

  30 mai 2021, par Charly

  I am trying to merge multiple videos (a few seconds each) into one, using FFmpeg.

  


  Merging all at once

  


  I first tried merging all videos with one FFmpeg command, but it only seems to work with up to a certain amount of videos. On my Raspberry Pi 4 (2BG RAM), it worked for 16 videos and broke (ran out of memory ?) while merging 36 videos (command and ouput below)

  


  ffmpeg -i 1Rbrdn1Xp.mp4 -i G7eYqdFPb.mp4 -i -Xo-6ABm3.mp4 -i 6As9IlqbW.mp4 -i tz9tVKFA-.mp4

  Merging videos 2 by 2

  


  I then tried gradually merging videos into one, using multiple FFmpeg commands.

  


  # Pseudocode
final = merge(clip1, clip2)
final = merge(final, clip3)
final = merge(final, clip4)
final = merge(final, clip5)
...


  


  with each command, looking like this :

  


  ffmpeg -i 1Rbrdn1Xp.mp4 -i G7eYqdFPb.mp4 -y -filter_complex concat=n=2:v=1:a=1 -vsync 2 UMVDl9jki.mp4


  


  ffmpeg -i UMVDl9jki.mp4 -i -Xo-6ABm3.mp4 -y -filter_complex concat=n=2:v=1:a=1 -vsync 2 azE1Uombp.mp4


  


  This works but there is a loss in audio quality on the first clips, and it is slowly improving over time. I am guessing this is due to the first videos being merged more times than the last ones. You can see this effect happen in this video (weird artefacts in the voice).

  


  ---

  


  So, am I doing something wrong ?
  
Is there a way of merging a lot of videos, without running out of memory or worsening the audio quality ?

  


• FFMPEG/DASH-LL creates audio and video chunks at different rates ; player is confused (404 errors)

  26 mai 2021, par Danny

  I'm trying to create a MPEG-DASH "live" stream from a static file to test various low latency modes. The DASH muxer in FFmpeg creates two AdaptationSets, one for video chunks and one for audio chunks.

  


  However, the audio and video chunk files are not created at the same rate (should they be ?). ie, here stream0 are the video chunks and stream1 are the audio chunks. After a few seconds of running, the webroot directory contains :

  


  chunk-stream0-00001.m4s  chunk-stream1-00001.m4s  
chunk-stream0-00002.m4s  chunk-stream1-00002.m4s  
chunk-stream0-00003.m4s  chunk-stream1-00003.m4s  
chunk-stream0-00004.m4s  chunk-stream1-00004.m4s  
                         chunk-stream1-00005.m4s  
                         chunk-stream1-00006.m4s  
                         chunk-stream1-00007.m4s  
                         chunk-stream1-00008.m4s  
                         chunk-stream1-00009.m4s  
master.mpd  
init-stream0.m4s  
init-stream1.m4s  


  


  The stream doesn't load (or play) on either dash.js or shaka-player and there are lots of 404 (Not Found) errors for the video chunks. The player is requesting chunks from both stream0 and stream1 in sequence, ie, stream0-001 + stream1-001, then stream0-002 + stream1-002 and so on.

  


  But since stream0 only goes from 001 to 004, there are lots of 404 errors as it tries to load stream0-005 through 009.

  


  The gap gets wider after letting FFmpeg run for a while. eg, stream0 is 62 to 75 but stream1 is 174 to 187. Reloading the player page at this point fails with dash.all.debug.js:15615 [2055][FragmentController] No video bytes to push or stream is inactive. and shows 404 errors stream0 chunk 188 (which doesn't exist yet !)

  


  

  


  The FFmpeg command was adopted from DASH streaming from the top-down :

  


  ffmpeg -re -i /mnt/swdevel/TestStreams/H264/ThreeHourMovie.mp4 \
-c:v libx264 -x264-params keyint=120:scenecut=0 -b:v 1M -c:a copy \
-f dash -dash_segment_type mp4 \
 -seg_duration 2 \
 -target_latency 3 \
 -frag_type duration \
 -frag_duration 0.2 \
 -window_size 10 \
 -extra_window_size 3 \
 -streaming 1 \
 -ldash 1 \
 -use_template 1 \
 -use_timeline 0 \
 -write_prft 1 \
 -fflags +nobuffer+flush_packets \
 -format_options "movflags=+cmaf" \
 -utc_timing_url "/pelican/testPlayers/time.php" \
 master.mpd


  


  And the dash.js player code is very simple :

  


  const srcUrl = "../ottWebRoot/playerTest/master.mpd"; 

var player = dashjs.MediaPlayer().create();

let autoPlay = false;
player.initialize(document.querySelector("#videoTagId"), srcUrl, autoPlay);

player.updateSettings(
{
    streaming :
    {
        lowLatencyEnabled : true,
        liveDelay : 2,
        jumpGaps : true,
        jumpLargeGaps : true,
        smallGapLimit : 1.5,
    }
});


  


  To provide the UTCTiming element in the manifest, the small time.php URL returns a UTC time from the web server :

  


  <?php
    print gmdate("Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z");
?>


  


  (It also shows 404 errors for the latest stream1/audio chunk, that's likely a different problem)

  


  I'm not sure what to try next. Any and suggestions greatly appreciated.

  


  EDIT I

  


  The suggestion by @Anonymous Coward to change the key interval improved things a lot. The chunks for stream0 and stream1 are in lock-step and have identical sequence numbers.

  


  However, there are still many 404 errors, both on initial page load (without pressing play) and during playback.

  


  I ran watch -n 1 ls -lt code> and compared side-by-side to the errors in the browser console.  It&#x27;s hard to compare but it <em>looks</em> like the browser is trying to fetch files "on the play edge" which haven&#x27;t yet been created by FFmpeg.  See the pic below.

  


  How do I instruct the browser to wait just a bit more before fetching the edge chunks ?

  


  

  


  EDIT II

  


  Using shaka-player instead of dash.js plays properly without 404 errors. Configured as :

  


      player.configure(
    {
        streaming: 
        {
            lowLatencyMode: true,
            inaccurateManifestTolerance: 0,
            rebufferingGoal: 0.1,
        }
        
    });

• How do I get VLC to play back two separate input streams (Video and Audio) like MPV-Player with mpv —ytdl-format=FormatCode1+FormatCode2 URL

  29 avril 2021, par Gubbel

  so, I finally found out how to play a 1080p with 60fps smoothly on a Raspberry Py 4b or rather on a Raspberry Py 400.

  


  With the following OS installed :
Raspberry Pi OS with desktop and recommended software

  


  But I need to get from Youtube the avc1 (H.264) video stream and not the av01 (AV1) video stream.

  


  And sadly it only plays smooth, if I use the VLC-Media-Player to play back a completely downloaded file.

  


  The MPV alternative with e.g. :

  


  mpv --ytdl-format=299+140 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ


  


  lags sadly.

  


  So I thought of a method to use a similar option with VLC.

  


  My attempt :

  


  #!/bin/bash

echo 'Enter: videoFormatCode audioFormatCode URL'

read video audio link

videoLink=$(youtube-dl -g -f $video $link)

audioLink=$(youtube-dl -g -f $audio $link)




ffmpeg -i "$videoLink" -i "$audioLink" -f matroska - | vlc -


  


  So, first I will find out the format codes with :

  


  youtube-dl -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ


  


  which gives me :

  


  format code  extension  resolution note

  Then I search for a 1080p60 stream with avc1, which leads to format code 299 in this list and then choose a fitting audio stream, like format code 140.

  


  Through the script youtube-dl catches the links for the respective format code, which get joined with ffmpeg as a matroska file and the send to VLC.

  


  But this method lags ; in my opinion because it seems not to cache the stream, like MPV does. And there is not seeking option ; when I try to seek it pops back to the beginning.

  


  I tried it with adding -bufsize 6750k to the ffmpeg line, but that did not help either.
I also added the VLC option --sout-mux-caching 30000 where I thought VLC would get a bigger cache to buffer the stream, but that did not help, too.

  


  So, how could I play back this as a smooth stream in VLC ?

  


  Also, my solution might not the best to start with, so please don't take this as a reference, it was just an attempt by my side with my sparse knowledge how I would handle the situation.

  


  If there are better alternatives, you can of course post them, too. ;)

  I also want to add, that the script, which I posted above, works well, when I use the 134 format code with a far lesser resolution, so somewhere seems to be a bottleneck.

  Should the pastebin not work, here is an alternative link to the outputs.

  I terminated the program after several seconds with Ctrl-C, so the output won't be that big, thought it could help to find an answer on this.
