• RTMP stream monitoring in python

  18 March 2015, by lasgun

  I don’t have experience with python, but I found this online:
  https://gist.github.com/sinkers/d647a80fdb180b4cc3a6
  Assuming it works with the current version of ffmpeg (ffprobe), I tried to just modify the code a bit, so it doesn’t log in to Amazon SNS to send a message. Just simply opening an audio file when the stream goes down, with the following command (I found it on this site) would do just fine:

  os.system("start /sound/xyz.mp3")

  I tried to do this-and-that, but I can’t seem to succeed. I have 3.x installed.

  I know it’s probably silly, but do I need to enter the relative, or absolute file locations? For ffprobe and the sound file, is it C:\... or what’s the correct format and path?

  Any help to solve this would be greatly appreciated.

• Which release of ffmpeg is used in the book "Understanding FFmpeg with source code: FFMPEG Fundamentals"?

  28 September 2021, by user3344036

  Just bought the book "Understanding FFmpeg with source code: FFMPEG Fundamentals" from Amazon. I have downloaded ffmpeg release 4.4, but the code has been different from that in the book. Just wondering which release the author was using, can anyone help?

  


• Passing python's file like object to ffmpeg via subprocess

  3 July 2012, by tejinderss

  I have a django FileField, which i use to store wav files on the Amazon s3 server. I have set up the celery task to read that file and convert it to mp3 and store it to another FileField. Problem i am facing is that i am unable to pass the input file to ffmpeg as the file is not the physical file on the hard disk drive. To circumvent that, i used stdin to feed the input stream of the file with the django's filefield. Here is the example:

  output_file = NamedTemporaryFile(suffix='.mp3')
  
  subprocess.call(['ffmpeg', '-y', '-i', '-', output_file.name], stdin=recording_wav)

  where recording_wav file is: , which is actually stored on the amazon s3 server.
  The error for the above subprocess call is:

  AttributeError: 'cStringIO.StringO' object has no attribute 'fileno'

  How can i do this? Thanks in advance for the help.

  Edit:
