• DFURTSP Player ffmpeg audio not working iOS

  14 janvier 2016, par MeghaJain

  I am using dfurtspplayer for video and audio streaming an ipcamera stream on my ios device. For reference : https://github.com/durfu/DFURTSPPlayer.
  It crashes with an error :
  malloc : * error for object 0x7ff513290007 : pointer being freed was not allocated
  * set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

  I think it crashes at av_free_packet(packet) in AudioStreamer.m
  I have everything to resolve it.The stream format i am using is rtsp.When i am playing a normal big bunny video from web its getting played fine but with actual camera stream it crashes.The codec it uses is "mulaw" in audiostreamer.m
  Anybody has a good luck with rtsp video and audio streaming in iOS ? Are there any other good libraries I can use ?

• Minimal Understanding of VP8′s Forward Transform

  16 novembre 2010, par Multimedia Mike — VP8

  Regarding my toy VP8 encoder, Pengvado mentioned in the comments of my last post, “x264 looks perfect using only i16x16 DC mode. You must be doing something wrong in computing residual or fdct or quantization.” This makes a lot of sense. The encoder generates a series of elements which describe how to reconstruct the original image. Intra block reconstruction takes into consideration the following elements :

  
  
  

  I have already verified that both my encoder and FFmpeg’s VP8 decoder agree precisely on how to reconstruct blocks based on the predictors, coefficients, and quantizers. Thus, if the decoded image still looks crazy, the elements the encoder is generating to describe the image must be wrong.

  So I started studying the forward DCT, which I had cribbed wholesale from the original libvpx 0.9.0 source code. It should be noted that the formal VP8 spec only defines the inverse transform process, not the forward process. I was using a version designated as the “short” version, vs. the “fast” version. Then I looked at the 0.9.5 FDCT. Then I got the idea of comparing the results of each.

  input:   92 91 89 86 91 90 88 86 89 89 89 88 89 87 88 93

  • libvpx 0.9.0 “short” :

    forward : -314 5 1 5 4 5 -2 0 0 1 -1 -1 1 11 -3 -4
    inverse : 92 91 89 86 89 86 91 90 91 90 88 86 88 86 89 89
    

  • libvpx 0.9.0 “fast” :

    forward : -314 4 0 5 4 4 -2 0 0 1 0 -1 1 11 -2 -5
    inverse : 91 91 89 86 88 86 91 90 91 90 88 86 88 86 89 89
    

  • libvpx 0.9.5 “short” :

    forward : -312 7 1 0 1 12 -5 2 2 -3 3 -1 1 0 -2 1
    inverse : 92 91 89 86 91 90 88 86 89 89 89 88 89 87 88 93
    

  I was surprised when I noticed that input[] != idct(fdct(input[])) in some of the above cases. Then I remembered that the aforementioned property isn’t what is meant by a “bit-exact” transform– only that all implementations of the inverse transform are supposed to produce bit-exact output for a given vector of input coefficients.

  Anyway, I tried applying each of these forward transforms. I got slightly differing results, with the latest one I tried (the fdct from libvpx 0.9.5) producing the best results (to my eye). At least the trees look better in the Big Buck Bunny logo image :

  
  
  The dense trees of the Big Buck Bunny logo using one of the libvpx 0.9.0 forward transforms
  
  
  The same segment of the image using the libvpx 0.9.5 forward transform
  

  Then again, it could be that the different numbers generated by the newer forward transform triggered different prediction modes to be chosen. Overall, adapting the newer FDCT did not dramatically improve the encoding quality.

  Working on the intra 4×4 mode encoding is generating some rather more accurate blocks than my intra 16×16 encoder. Pengvado indicated that x264 generates perfectly legible results when forcing the encoder to only use intra 16×16 mode. To be honest, I’m having trouble understanding how that can possibly occur thanks to the Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT). I think that’s where a lot of the error is creeping in with my intra 16×16 encoder. Then again, FFmpeg implements an inverse WHT function that bears ‘vp8′ in its name. This implies that it’s custom to the algorithm and not exactly shared with H.264.

• Technically Correct VP8 Encoding

  26 octobre 2010, par Multimedia Mike — VP8

  I know people are anxious to see what happens next with my toy VP8 encoder. First and foremost, I corrected the encoder’s DC prediction. A lot of rules govern that mode and if you don’t have it right, error cascades through the image. Now the encoder and decoder both agree on every fine detail of the bitstream syntax and rendering thereof. It still encodes to a neo-impressionist mosaic piece, but at least I’ve ironed the bugs out of this phase :

  
  
  

  I also made it possible to adjust the quantization levels inside the encoder. This means that I’m finally getting some compression out of the thing, vs. the original approach of hardcoding the minimum quantizers.
