• How do I exit or kill a running OS process (FFMPEG) started with Node.js without crashing my app ?

  18 novembre 2022, par Alula Leakemariam

  I am developing an express application that starts FFMPEG through nodejs's child_process. The process starts, but when I try deleting specific processes by pid, the whole app crashes and has to be restarted.

  


  I start the stream with this :

  


  const { spawn, exec } = require("child_process");
const execFile = require("child_process").execFile;

function startStream(foo, url, bar) {
  const ls = spawn(`mkdir`, [`$foo`], {
    cwd: `path/to/working/dir`,
    stdio: "inherit",
  });

  const child = execFile(
    "ffmpeg",
    ["-i", url, "-hls_flags", "delete_segments", "-c", "copy", `path/to/file.m3u8`],
    { maxBuffer: Infinity },
    (error, stdout, stderr) => {
      if (error) {
        console.error("stderr: =============================", stderr);
        throw error;
      }
      console.log("stdout: ==========================", stdout);
    }
  );

  const checkProcesses = exec(`ps`, (error, stdout, stderr) => {
    if (error) {
      console.error("stderr: =============================", stderr);
      throw error;
    }
    console.log("stdout: ==========================", stdout);
  });

  return child.pid;
}

module.exports = startStream;


  


  The code below is the results of running the ps command to list the running processes, which lists ffmpeg as one of them. This will also show ffmpeg again for each time I run the function above.

  


     6394 pts/3    00:00:00 bash
 110129 pts/3    00:00:28 npm run start
 110140 pts/3    00:00:00 sh
 110141 pts/3    00:00:38 node
 136730 pts/3    00:00:00 node
 137148 pts/3    00:00:00 ffmpeg
 137358 pts/3    00:00:00 sh
 137359 pts/3    00:00:00 ps



  


  This will also start copying the FFMPEG files to the directory as expected. Afterwards, another endpoint will use the function below to delete the files created and (attempt to) kill the process :

  


  const { spawn, exec } = require("child_process");
const kill = require("tree-kill");

async function endStream(foo, bar, pid) {
  kill(pid, "SIGKILL");

  // Also tried this commented out code below with spawn and exec
  // const killProcessByPid = spawn("kill", ["-9", `${pid}`]);
  
  const ls = exec(`rm -rf  ${foo}`, {
    cwd: `./path/to/working/dir`,
  });
}
module.exports = endStream;



  


  I've tried a few variations but the result I get is usually along the lines of this :

  


  Exiting normally, received signal 15.&#xA;&#xA;    at ChildProcess.exithandler (node:child_process:402:12)&#xA;    at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:513:28)&#xA;    at maybeClose (node:internal/child_process:1100:16)&#xA;    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:304:5) {&#xA;  code: 255,&#xA;  killed: false,&#xA;  signal: null,&#xA;  cmd: &#x27;ffmpeg -i <url>.m3u8 -hls_flags delete_segments -c copy path/to/file.m3u8&#x27;&#xA;}&#xA;[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting..&#xA;&#xA;</url>

  


  I only started using exec/execFile/spawn after failing with libraries like fluent-ffmpeg and a few others, though it doesn't look like starting the process causes the same issues that exiting them do.

  


  If there's anything else I can optimize while my code is up, i'd love to hear it. I'm not even sure if this code will have success with many ffmpeg processes running concurrently.

  


  I am running this on linux (ubuntu) right now and eventually plan to deploy the server.

  avfilter/vf_libplacebo : add flexible crop exprs
  Motivated by a desire to use vf_libplacebo as a GPU-accelerated
  
  cropping/padding/zooming filter. This commit adds support for setting
  
  the `input/target.crop` fields as dynamic expressions.
  Re-use the same generic variables available to other scale and crop type
  
  filters, and also add some more that we can afford as a result of being
  
  able to set these properties dynamically.
  It's worth pointing out that `out_t/ot` is currently redundant with
  
  `in_t/t` since it will always contain the same PTS values, but I plan on
  
  changing this in the near future.
  I decided to also expose `crop_w/crop_h` and `pos_w/pos_h` as variables
  
  in the expression parser itself, since this enables the fairly common
  
  use case of determining dimensions first and then placing the image
  
  appropriately, such as is done in the default behavior (which centers
  
  the cropped/placed region by default).

• How to test ffmpeg for streaming encoding at 1x ? [closed]

  7 mai 2023, par Public Name

  I would like to test ffmpeg for encoding a stream on my VM to see how much CPU % it uses, and how many cores. I don't have streams going, but I plan to use webcams to provide the stream in the future. How should I go about doing this ?

  


  I have test mp4 files I could provide.

  


  Should I :

  


  

  1. Is there a way to tell ffmpeg to only encode at 1x speed (ie only do 30fps per second for encoding) ?

  


  2. Or do I have to create a stream first and have ffmpeg encode the stream ? I found SRS (Simple Realtime Server) https://github.com/ossrs/srs. I was going to start a stream from there and have ffmpeg ingest it. But it seems complicated I was wondering if there was an easier way by doing #1 ? Or is there an easier way to do #2 ?

  


  


  So far I have tried to get ffmpeg running, but have encountered some errors. The SRS is complicated to setup, so I have not tried it yet.
