• Why FFmpeg is consuming more and more bandwith when restreaming a YouTube HLS stream ?

  3 janvier 2023, par NiHuShu

  I've been creating a bot in Python which allows to copy one YouTube livestream and stream it to another channel using the HLS protocol.

  


  This is the command I'm using in Python to start the FFmpeg process :

  


  m3u8_url = streamlink.streams(stream_url)['1080p'].url
ffmpeg_process = Popen(
    ["ffmpeg", "-i", m3u8_url, "-c", "copy","-ignore_io_errors", "1", "-f", "hls", "-http_persistent", "1", '-attempt_recovery', '1',
    '-method', 'POST', '-hls_time', '1', '-hls_playlist_type', 'event', '-g', '5', '-reconnect_at_eof', '1',
    'https://a.upload.youtube.com/http_upload_hls?cid=' + stream_key + '&copy=0&file=stream.m3u8'])


  


  I'm using streamlink to extract the 1080p m3u8 playlist of a given livestream and then using "-c", "copy"I'm just passing the raw HLS stream back to YouTube servers.

  


  The problem is that at first FFmpeg is using around 1.5 Mbps for both upload and download, but as the stream progresses the used bandwidth per second grows substantially. After 5 hours FFmpeg uses 5 Mbps of upload and about half of that in download, but it just keeps on growing. It's gotten to a point where my VPS was blocked as after a few days it was using > 1500 Mbps of bandwidth (with 10 active streams).

  


  The only thing that comes to my mind is that for some reason with every .ts segment, FFmpeg is trying to send all the previous ones as well. It might be worth mentioning that YouTube Studio is complaining that the incoming stream bandwith is too low and it should be 4.5 Mbps.

  


  I've tried changing the "-method" from PUT to POST, which helped reducing the download bandwidth, but didn't change anything in regards to upload.

  


• Batch Script to Download Video with youtube-dl and Convert with FFmpeg

  24 octobre 2019, par Matt McManis

  I’m trying to

  1. Using a single batch script to
  2. Download an mp4 video using youtube-dl
  3. Save the video’s original title to a batch variable
  4. Convert the video to webm with FFmpeg

  I want to keep the original title, so it needs to read the title with youtube-dl, save it to a variable, and use that variable for FFmpeg input/output filename.

  ---

  CMD Batch

  1. Download Video

  youtube-dl -f best "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWNhqCHw0qc" -o "C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%(title)s.mp4" --merge-output-format mp4

  ---

  2. Download Video using Loop

  This is used to save the title to a variable %%a.

  for /f "delims=" %%a in ('youtube-dl -f best "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWNhqCHw0qc" -o @"C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%(title)s.mp4" --merge-output-format mp4') do (echo example)

  ---

  3. Final Script
  Download Video, Save Title, Convert with FFmpeg

  Sorted

  for /f "delims=" %%a in ('
  
      youtube-dl 
  
      -f best "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWNhqCHw0qc" 
  
      -o @"C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%(title)s.mp4" 
  
      --merge-output-format mp4
  
      ')
  
  
  
  do (ffmpeg -y 
  
      -i "C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%a.mp4" 
  
      -c:v libvpx -b:v 1300K -crf 16 -pix_fmt yuv420p 
  
      -map 0:v:0? -sn 
  
      -c:a libvorbis -q:a 6 -ac 2 -map 0:a:0? 
  
      -f webm
  
      "C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%a.webm"
  
      )

  Inline

  for /f "delims=" %%a in ('youtube-dl -f best "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWNhqCHw0qc" -o @"C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%(title)s.mp4" --merge-output-format mp4') do (ffmpeg -y -i "C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%a.mp4" -c:v libvpx -b:v 1300K -crf 16 -pix_fmt yuv420p -map 0:v:0? -sn -c:a libvorbis -q:a 6 -ac 2 -map 0:a:0? -f webm "C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%a.webm")

  Error

  Before the script can ever reach FFmpeg, youtube-dl fails to download the file. It says the file has already been downloaded, even when there is no file in the directory.

  [download] @C#\Users\Matt\Downloads\Color Balloons.mp4 has already
  been downloaded

• When using youtube-dl with ffmpeg, what merge extension(mkv/mp4) can get best sound quality

  16 mars 2021, par jokerme

  I use youtube-dl -F to display all video/audio list, and choose best video/audio source myself.

  


  Then I use youtube-dl -f [video code]+[audio code] to download and automatically merge them.

  


  As question title, when I use —merge-output-format, what output extension should be chosen then I can get a file with best sound quality. Is mkv ? Or is most suitable merge extension related to the extension of video/audio source ?

  


  By the way, my using player is PotPlayer.
