• Why ffmpeg C - API Doxygen document using c++ style of namespace for structure

  25 December 2018, by Vencat

  I’m new to ffmpeg C-API and learning it from doxygen document in official site. I hope the document explains about ffmpeg C-API, but I have seen some c++ style of class and namespace in it, for example please refer the below document part, where they are using c++ style of namespace for c structure.

  AVClass Struct Reference:

  https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/structAVClass.html#details

  can anyone clear this to me.?

• Where I made a mistake - FFmpeg (Linux) basic problem

  23 March 2019, by Fejor

  I just started learning FFmpeg. I have code (like below), but it’s doing nothing.

  fmpeg -i videoplayback.mp4 -filter_complex "[1:v]trim=start=0:end=1,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS,scale=480x360,setsar=sar=16/9[intro1];
  
  [1:v]trim=start=1:end=123.39,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS,scale=480x360,setsar=sar=16/9[main1];
  
  [1:v]trim=start=123.39:end=124.39,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS,scale=480x360,setsar=sar=16/9[end1];
  
  [intro1]format=pix_fmts=yuva420p, fade=t=in:st=0:d=1:alpha=1[intro1];
  
  [end1]format=pix_fmts=yuva420p, fade=t=in:st=0:d=1:alpha=1[end1];
  
  [intro1][main1][end1][output];
  
  [a:1][audio]; -vcodec libx264 -map "[output]" -map"[audio]" "output.mp4"

• How to concatenate two MP4 files, which require http basic Authorization: Bearer , using ffmpeg?

  8 July 2023, by Jeff Strongman

  Hello dear ffmpeg experts! 🧠 🎯

  


  I ran the following command, which worked perfectly:

  


  ffmpeg -protocol_whitelist https,concat,tls,tcp -i "concat:https://dash.akamaized.net/akamai/bbb_30fps/bbb_30fps_1280x720_4000k/bbb_30fps_1280x720_4000k_0.m4v|https://dash.akamaized.net/akamai/bbb_30fps/bbb_30fps_1280x720_4000k/bbb_30fps_1280x720_4000k_1.m4v|https://dash.akamaized.net/akamai/bbb_30fps/bbb_30fps_1280x720_4000k/bbb_30fps_1280x720_4000k_2.m4v" -c:v copy -vframes 180 -y Movie_of_6_seconds.mp4

  


  I followed the recommended solution of the following post:
How to concatenate two MP4 files using FFmpeg?

  


  You can execute the command on your local computer and see that it should run just fine...

  


  I used 3. concat protocol, which does indeed concat init + progressive segments

  


  However... when every segment on a server I refer to, is password protected, it fails with 401 Unauthorized, even though I added the following line:
-headers "Authorization: Bearer bas64user:password" , before specifying the -i "concat:...".

  


  It seems to me... that the headers don't pass to the concat command inside of the input of ffmpeg... and it simply ignores them. When I used the same -headers command, on a single file, without concat, it passed the authorization successfully

  


  Notes:

  


  

  • Even though every segment has a length of 120 frames (So in maximum, I could have generated 2*120 = 240 frames... I wanted a movie of 6 seconds and not 8... And by this way, to test that ffmpeg is smart enough to stop processing the whole input). To do that, I used -vframes 180, where 180 / 30 (FPS) = 6 seconds

  


  • I used -c:v copy, to get without re-encoding, only the video part (No audio!)

  


  • I used -y to override existing file...

  


  • 0.m4v, is the init file! it is a small file, that has metadata of the original video which was produced with mpeg-dash

  


  • 1.m4v and 2.m4v, are the progressive segments

  


  


  Is there a way, to pass the http basic headers (Authorization: Bearer) to all of the chained files?

  


  Like:

  


  

  • Via a json content type on the ffmpeg request

  


  • Or user:password@video_segment (Although... it seems to me it's not a header?)

  


  • Somehow specify header inside the concat command?

  


  


  I don't want to first download all files and then get rid of the password protected... as it both takes ridiculous time & other resources... and I would like to record from a segment that is "endless", meaning a camera that keeps streaming data.

  


  Thanks in advance 🙏🏻,
