• Generating 64kbps audio-only mpegts for HTTP Live segmenter to meept 64kbps audio only requirement

  23 April 2012, by Pobre

  I am trying to convert our mp4 files into mpeg-ts and segment it into .ts files for my iphone app to play. I am using Carson McDonalds's HTTP-Live-Video-Stream-Segmenter-and-Distributor to do that.

  I got his stuff complied and working correctly. I am currently trying to meet Apple's requirement where I need to provide a baseline 64 kbps audio only stream to my m3u8 playlist.
  Carson doesn't seem to have a profile for that.

  I need to be able to generate 64kbps audio-only stream from mp4, and turn that into mpeg-ts for the segmenter into ts. I am trying to find the right ffmpeg command that will validate without problem using Apple's mediastreamvalidator.

  So far I modified an existing encoding profile to try to achieve 64kbps total:

  ffmpeg -er 4 -i %s -f mpegts -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 -ab 32k -s 240x180 -vcodec libx264 -b 16k -flags +loop+mv4 -cmp 256 -partitions +parti4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8 -subq 7 -trellis 1 -refs 5 -coder 0 -me_range 16 -keyint_min 25 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -bt 64k -maxrate 16k -bufsize 16k -rc_eq 'blurCplx^(1-qComp)' -qcomp 0.6 -qmin 10 -qmax 51 -qdiff 4 -level 30 -aspect 4:3 -r 10 -g 30 -async 2 - | %s %s %s %s %s

  but then when I try to validate it using mediastreamvalidator, it gives error after few ts:

  Playlist Validation: OK

  Segments:

  sample_cell_4x3_64k-00001.ts:

  WARNING: Media segment exceeds target duration of 10.00 seconds by 1.30 seconds (segment duration is 11.30 seconds)

  sample_cell_4x3_64k-00002.ts:

  WARNING: Media segment exceeds target duration of 10.00 seconds by 1.40 seconds (segment duration is 11.40 seconds)

  ....
  ....

  sample_cell_4x3_64k-00006.ts:

  ERROR: (-1) Unknown video codec: 1836069494 (program 0, track 0)
  ERROR: (-1) failed to parse segment as either an MPEG-2 TS or an ES

  sample_cell_4x3_64k-00007.ts:

  ERROR: (-1) Unknown video codec: 1836069494 (program 0, track 0)
  ERROR: (-1) failed to parse segment as either an MPEG-2 TS or an ES

  ....
  ....
  Average segment duration: 10.26 seconds
  Average segment bitrate: 376797.92 bps
  Average segment structural overhead: 349242.17 bps (92.69 %)

  Is there someway I can generate this correctly with just audio which totals 64kbps and turn it into mpeg-ts ready to be segmented and validated correctly?

  Am I approaching the problem right?

• iPhone recorded videos getting rotated on Windows systems [migrated]

  11 March 2013, by Saurabh

  I am recording videos on iPhone and uploading them to my Linux server. Users can see these videos on website. If users are seeing videos on mac or iDevices the video is looking fine but when users are seeing that video on windows systems these videos are getting rotated.

  I am assuming this is because of some apple's flag in the recorded video which Windows systems are not able to read. Can I record videos in some way so they don't get rotated on Windows systems? Or is there any way I can re-encode videos with proper interface orientation using FFmpeg?

  I am open to both FFmpeg or iOS way.

• Rotated video with ffmpeg doesn't play in flowplayer in IE9

  3 April 2018, by yoshi

  I have a script that rotates videos 90 degrees and then the videos are displayed on a web page using flowplayer (HTML5 version, not Flash). After the video is rotated once it does not play in IE9 but plays without any other problems in Chrome and Firefox.
  The error message is: Video file not found.

  I’ve looked in IE9’s developer tools console, in the network tab and the browser streams the whole video.

  The following is the ffmpeg command I use to rotate and convert the video:

  ffmpeg -i input.mov -y -r 30 -b 4M -vf 'transpose=1,scale=800:trunc(ow/a/2)*2' -ar 48000 -vcodec libx264 -profile baseline -preset slow -level 2.2 output.mp4

  This is the input file which I used: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37994/local%20capture.mov

  This is the output video: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37994/local%20capture%20rotated.mp4

  The input video from above is a screen capture made using QuickTime on Mac OS.

  This also happened for this video: http://mirrorblender.top-ix.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/big_buck_bunny_480p_h264.mov
  And also this one: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37994/clipcanvas_14348_offline.mp4

  This didn’t happen for the sample .mov from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1425

  If I run the command twice, meaning I rotate the video 90 degrees and then I rotate the output using the same command once more, the problem disappears, but I need to be able to rotate only 90 degrees.

  This problem doesn’t happen if I put IE9 in IE7 or IE8 compatibility mode.

  I was thinking that maybe the problem was how the server serves the video but there’s no problem with other videos.

  I looked at the metadata with ffmpeg but didn’t see anything significant.

  I already have AddType video/mp4 .mp4 in .htaccess.

  I can’t seem to pin down what’s causing this problem.
