• Curator of the Samples Archive

  13 mai 2011, par Multimedia Mike — General

  Remember how I mirrored the world-famous MPlayerHQ samples archive a few months ago ? Due to a series of events, the original archive is no longer online. However, me and the people who control the mplayerhq.hu domain figured out how to make samples.mplayerhq.hu point to samples.multimedia.cx.

  That means... I’m the current owner and curator of our central multimedia samples repository. Such power ! This should probably be the fulfillment of a decade-long dream for me, having managed swaths of the archive, most notably the game formats section.

  How This Came To Be

  If you pay any attention to the open source multimedia scene, you might have noticed that there has been a smidge of turmoil. Heated words were exchanged, authority was questioned, some people probably said some things they didn’t mean, and the upshot is that, where once there was one project (FFmpeg), there are now 2 projects (also Libav). And to everyone who has wanted me to mention it on my blog— there, I finally broke my silence and formally acknowledged the schism.

  For my part, I was just determined to ensure that the samples archive remained online, preferably at the original samples.mplayerhq.hu address. There are 10 years worth of web links out there pointing into the original repository.

  Better Solution

  I concede that it’s not entirely optimal to host the repository here at multimedia.cx. While I can offer a crazy amount of monthly bandwidth, I can’t offer rsync (invaluable for keeping mirrors in sync), nor can the server provide anonymous FTP or allow me to offer accounts to other admins who can manage the repository.

  The samples archive is also mirrored at samples.libav.org/samples. I understand that service is provided by VideoLAN. Right now, both repositories are known to be static. I’m open to brainstorms about how to improve the situation.

• Using libavformat to mux H.264 frames into RTP

  18 septembre 2021, par DanielB6

  I have an encoder that produces a series of H.264 I-frames and P-frames. I'm trying to use libavformat to mux and transmit these frames over RTP, but I'm stuck.

  



  My program sends RTP data, but the RTP timestamp increments by 1 each successive frame, instead of 90000/fps. It also doesn't look like it's doing the proper framing for H.264 NAL, since I can't decode the stream as H.264 in Wireshark.

  



  I suspect that I'm not setting up the codec information properly, but it appears in many places in the output format context, so it's unclear what exactly needs to be setup. The examples seem to all copy codec context info from encoders, which isn't my use case.

  



  This is what I'm trying :

  



  int main() {
    AVFormatContext context = avformat_alloc_context();

    if (!context) {
        printf("avformat_alloc_context failed\n");
        return;
    }

    AVOutputFormat *format = av_guess_format("rtp", NULL, NULL);

    if (!format) {
        printf("av_guess_format failed\n");
        return;
    }

    context->oformat = format;

    snprintf(context->filename, sizeof(context->filename), "rtp://%s:%d", "192.168.2.16", 10000);

    if (avio_open(&(context->pb), context->filename, AVIO_FLAG_READ_WRITE) < 0) {
        printf("avio_open failed\n");
        return;
    }

    stream = avformat_new_stream(context, NULL);

    if (!stream) {
        printf("avformat_new_stream failed\n");
        return;
    }

    stream->codecpar->codec_type = AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO;
    stream->codecpar->codec_id = AV_CODEC_ID_H264;
    stream->codecpar->width = 1920;
    stream->codecpar->height = 1080;

    avformat_write_header(context, NULL);

    ...
    write packets
    ...
}


  



  Example write packet :

  



  int write_packet(uint8_t *data, int size) {
    AVPacket p;
    av_init_packet(&p);
    p.data = buffer;
    p.size = size;
    p.stream_index = stream->index;

    av_interleaved_write_frame(context, &p);
}


  



  I've even went so far to build in libx264, find the encoder, and copy the codec context info from there into the stream codecpar, with the same result. My goal is to build without libx264, and any other libs that aren't required, but it isn't clear whether libx264 is required for defaults such as time base.

  



  How can the libavformat RTP muxer be initialized to properly send H.264 frames over RTCP+RTP ?
