• Feed output of one filter to the input of one filter multiple times with ffmpeg

  27 August 2021, by kentcdodds

  I have the following ffmpeg commands to create a podcast episode:

  


  # remove all silence at start and end of the audio files
ffmpeg -i call.mp3 -af silenceremove=1:0:-50dB call1.mp3
ffmpeg -i response.mp3 -af silenceremove=1:0:-50dB response1.mp3

# remove silence longer than 1 second anywhere within the audio files
ffmpeg -i call1.mp3 -af silenceremove=stop_periods=-1:stop_duration=1:stop_threshold=-50dB call2.mp3
ffmpeg -i response1.mp3 -af silenceremove=stop_periods=-1:stop_duration=1:stop_threshold=-50dB response2.mp3

# normalize audio files
ffmpeg -i call2.mp3 -af loudnorm=I=-16:LRA=11:TP=0.0 call3.mp3
ffmpeg -i response2.mp3 -af loudnorm=I=-16:LRA=11:TP=0.0 response3.mp3

# cross fade audio files with intro/interstitial/outro
ffmpeg -i intro.mp3 -i call3.mp3 -i interstitial.mp3 -i response3.mp3 -i outro.mp3
  -filter_complex "[0][1]acrossfade=d=1:c2=nofade[a01];
                   [a01][2]acrossfade=d=1:c1=nofade[a02];
                   [a02][3]acrossfade=d=1:c2=nofade[a03];
                   [a03][4]acrossfade=d=1:c1=nofade"
  output.mp3


  


  While this "works" fine, I can't help but feel like it would be more efficient to do this all in one ffmpeg command. Based on what I found online this should be possible, but I don't understand the syntax well enough to know how to make it work. Here's what I tried:

  


  ffmpeg -i intro.mp3 -i call.mp3 -i interstitial.mp3 -i response.mp3 -i outro.mp3
       -af [1]silenceremove=1:0:-50dB[trimmedCall]
       -af [3]silenceremove=1:0:-50dB[trimmedResponse]
       -af [trimmedCall]silenceremove=stop_periods=-1:stop_duration=1:stop_threshold=-50dB[noSilenceCall]
       -af [trimmedResponse]silenceremove=stop_periods=-1:stop_duration=1:stop_threshold=-50dB[noSilenceResponse]
       -af [noSilenceCall]loudnorm=I=-16:LRA=11:TP=0.0[call]
       -af [noSilenceResponse]loudnorm=I=-16:LRA=11:TP=0.0[response]
      -filter_complex "[0][call]acrossfade=d=1:c2=nofade[a01];
                       [a01][2]acrossfade=d=1:c1=nofade[a02];
                       [a02][response]acrossfade=d=1:c2=nofade[a03];
                       [a03][4]acrossfade=d=1:c1=nofade"
  output.mp3


  


  But I have a feeling I have a fundamental misunderstanding of this because I got this error which I don't understand:

  


  Stream specifier 'call' in filtergraph description 
[0][call]acrossfade=d=1:c2=nofade[a01];
[a01][2]acrossfade=d=1:c1=nofade[a02];
[a02][response]acrossfade=d=1:c2=nofade[a03];
[a03][4]acrossfade=d=1:c1=nofade
       matches no streams.


  


  For added context, I'm running all these commands through @ffmpeg/ffmpeg so that last command actually looks like this (in JavaScript):

  


  await ffmpeg.run(
  '-i', 'intro.mp3',
  '-i', 'call.mp3',
  '-i', 'interstitial.mp3',
  '-i', 'response.mp3',
  '-i', 'outro.mp3',
  '-af', '[1]silenceremove=1:0:-50dB[trimmedCall]',
  '-af', '[3]silenceremove=1:0:-50dB[trimmedResponse]',
  '-af', '[trimmedCall]silenceremove=stop_periods=-1:stop_duration=1:stop_threshold=-50dB[noSilenceCall]',
  '-af', '[trimmedResponse]silenceremove=stop_periods=-1:stop_duration=1:stop_threshold=-50dB[noSilenceResponse]',
  '-af', '[noSilenceCall]loudnorm=I=-16:LRA=11:TP=0.0[call]',
  '-af', '[noSilenceResponse]loudnorm=I=-16:LRA=11:TP=0.0[response]',
  '-filter_complex', `
[0][call]acrossfade=d=1:c2=nofade[a01];
[a01][2]acrossfade=d=1:c1=nofade[a02];
[a02][response]acrossfade=d=1:c2=nofade[a03];
[a03][4]acrossfade=d=1:c1=nofade
  `,
  'output.mp3',
)


  


• full m3u8 clip isn't getting generated from m3u8 file

const ffmpegPath = require('@ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg').path;
const ffmpeg = require('fluent-ffmpeg');
const process = require('process');


const args = process.argv.slice(2);
if (args.length !== 4) {
    console.error('Incorrect number of arguments');
    process.exit(1);
  }
const startTime = args[0];
const timeDuration = args[1];
const inputFile = args[2];
const outputFile=args[3];

ffmpeg.setFfmpegPath(ffmpegPath);

ffmpeg(inputFile)
  .setStartTime(startTime)
  .setDuration(timeDuration)
  .output(outputFile)
  .on('end', function(err) {
    if(!err) { console.log('conversion Done') }
  })
  .on('error', function(err){
    console.log('error: ', err)
  }).run();




  


  


  here is my index.js file
I am running this command on the terminal to generate a clip from the m3u8 file
node index.js 00:00:10 46 ./path/sample.m3u8  ./path/output.m3u8 
The main problem is that it is not creating a clip for more than 13 seconds. For example, the above command should generate a 46s clip but it is going near 13 seconds. So I don't get what's wrong with that. Any clip less than 13 is perfectly fine.
Is there any way to fix that?
