• How to play an local video in arbitrary codec and format in browser ? [closed]

  24 septembre 2023, par HanXu

  I am developing a video player in browser to let the user select a local video to play, and want to support as many video formats as possible. I know that in browser a video tag can only play videos in a limited set of codecs, and on desktop libraries like VLC can play literally any videos. I would like to bring that broad compatibility to the browser, but not sure how to achieve it.

  


  One thing come up in my mind is to let the user run a thin client natively, which read the local video and stream it at, say, http://localhost:8080, in some web-friendly codec and format, and in the frontend I use a video with src to be http://localhost:8080.

  


  In the client I think I need to run some ffmpeg command to somehow stream and process the video in real-time. I also run into the libVLC which seems nice, and am not sure which one to use.

  


  Furthermore, I need to enable the user to seek to any arbitrary timestamp, and am not sure if the streaming technic supports it.

  


  I have done some googling, and found a method which first runs a ffmpeg command as

  


  VIDSOURCE="/some/video.mp4"
AUDIO_OPTS="-c:a aac -b:a 160000 -ac 2"
VIDEO_OPTS="-s 854x480 -c:v libx264 -b:v 800000"
OUTPUT_HLS="-hls_time 10 -hls_list_size 10 -start_number 1"
ffmpeg -i "$VIDSOURCE" -y $AUDIO_OPTS $VIDEO_OPTS $OUTPUT_HLS /some/public/video.m3u8


  


  and in the frontend I can use the react-player to play the video like

  


  <reactplayer url="/some/public/video.m3u8"></reactplayer>&#xA;

  


  However, I can not seek to an arbitrary timestamp, and the ffmpeg command creates a lot of .ts files one by one about which I am not sure what is going on. It seems that before it creates a video77.ts, I can not seek to timestamp within that segment.

  


  All in all, I am looking for some solution like

  


  

  


  that supports

  


  

  • playing videos in browsers in as many codecs and formats as possible,

  


  • allowing users to seek to any arbitrary timestamp.

  


  


  Since many native video player like VLC supports it, I believe it can be done. Does anyone have any idea that may help ? Appreciate in advance !

  


• FFmpeg input file type detection

  17 août 2021, par andbi

  I'm using FFmpeg for converting audio files, and I see that it can automatically derive the correct input source's type regardless of the file's extension and without providing any input type/codec information. At least it works for mp3 and wav files.

  


  The question is which audio file types it might fail to recognize or when it's better to state the input format explicitly (of course, excluding the PCM* types).

  


• VB Dot Net ffMpeg Network Web Server Cannot Execute JS Ajax Call to Private Web Server When Client is Outside Network

  29 septembre 2019, par Sonbelt

  I have a solution that is using Windows Server 2008 (Web Server), Windows Server 2008 (MS Sql Database Server), Computer with Windows 10 Home with IIS acting as a file server that runs command line calls where ffMpeg converts video files to html5 compliant files and then puts them on the NAS (a WD Network Drive.). Users then use the public website to view the videos streamed from the NAS.

  Windows Server 2008 cannot make a command line call to ffMpeg. If it could the performance hit would be too large.

  In order to get the public web server to call a private web page I’m using an Ajax post call to the file server web site. That site converts the videos and then there is a separate routine that moves the files using the same methodology. In order to get the file server where it can move the files to the NAS I’ve set the application pool identity to a specific user. The public web server is using the Network Service as the identity for the application pool.

  When I run the pages on the public server from behind the firewall where the calling ip address is in the same network the solution works fine but when I use any device or browser when the calling ip address is not in the local network the JS Ajax call to the private web site does not work. No lines appear in the IIS log on the file server.

  I’ve tried changing to the other built in choices and set the identity as the administrator on the public web server. Turned off the public server firewall, turned off the private files server firewalls without success.

  The solution needs to work when the calling ip address is not in the local network. I apologize for long post. Can you help me please ?
