• Best Web Video Encoding Practices for IOS (FFMpeg)

  21 juin 2012, par MagicMushroom

  I am working on an online video repository system for a client, written mostly in PHP. At the moment I am building a mobile version of our desktop website. Our desktop site allows users to watch videos in the browser, much like YouTube.

  My client uploads videos through the manager interface I have created, and my application uses FFmpeg on the server to transcode his videos into several resolutions and bitrates. I am no expert on FFmpeg, and while I do not know the ins and outs of each individual setting, I do understand how it works as a whole. Right now, we are using the mp4 container format with the h.264 codec to encode our videos. Our command looks like :

  ffmpeg -y -i "INPUT FILE.mov" -f mp4 -s 640x480 -vcodec libx264 -preset fast -maxrate 1500 -bitrate 1000 -bufsize 4096 -acodec libfaac -ab 192 -ac 2 "OUTPUT_FILE.mp4" >> "FILE.log" 2>&1 &

  I'm hoping to gain information about best practices with encoding video for web streaming on IOS and other mobile devices using FFmpeg. What resolutions and settings make for good mobile streaming video ? How can I ensure maximum compatibility across the sea of Android devices ?

• ffmpeg video duration is not equal to duration after hls process

  9 décembre 2022, par Timur Khazhiev

  Problem

  


  For videofile input I preprocess/encode it to libx264. Then I'm trying to cut video into 2 second chunks except last one (last one being < 2 seconds) using hls processing

  &#xA;

  ffmpeg -v error -i video.mp4 -x264-params "keyint=60:min-keyint=60:scenecut=0" 
-hls_time 2 -hls_list_size 0 -hls_segment_filename chunk%03d.ts index.m3u8


  &#xA;

  which follows this problem

  &#xA;

  then looking into index.m3u8 file reveals that sum of all chunks' durations does not add up to original video duration :

  &#xA;

  % ffprobe -loglevel quiet -print_format flat -show_entries format=duration index.m3u8     

format.duration="204.880000"

% ffprobe -loglevel quiet -print_format flat -show_entries format=duration video.mp4 

format.duration="204.892813"


  &#xA;

  Moreover duration of a chunk in index.m3u8 is not the same as in chunk file.

  &#xA;

  % ffprobe -loglevel quiet -print_format flat -show_entries format=duration chunk000.ts

format.duration="2.023222"

% cat index.m3u8
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:2
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:2.000000,
chunk000.ts
#EXTINF:2.000000,
chunk001.ts
#EXTINF:2.000000,
chunk002.ts
...

  What I tried

  &#xA;

  &#xA;
  • Preprocess/transcode video before proceeding with hls

  &#xA;

  • Force keyframes before proceeding with hls

  &#xA;

  • Use 1, 3, 4 seconds chunks

  &#xA;

  • Use different GOP sizes

  &#xA;

  • -hls_flags split_by_time

  &#xA;

  &#xA;

  but it leads to same result or very unequal chunks

  &#xA;

  Questions

  &#xA;

  &#xA;
  1. Is it ok or I'm missing something ?

  &#xA;

  2. If not, what parameters/options should I use to force chunks to be precisely 2 seconds ?

• Bash : bash script to download trimmed mp3 from youtube url

  25 août 2017, par Bhishan Poudel

  I would like to download the initially x seconds trimmed mp3 from a video url of youtube.
  I found that youtube-dl can download the video from youtube to local machine. But, when I looked at the man pages of youtube-dl, I could not find any trim options.

  So I tried to use the ffmpeg to trim downloaded mp3 file.
  Instead of doing this is two steps, I like to write one bash script which does the same thing.
  My attempt is given below.

  However, I was stuck at one place :
  "HOW TO GET THE VARIABLE NAME OF OUTPUT MP3 FILE FROM YOUTUBE-DL ?"
  The script is given below :

  # trim initial x seconds of mp3 file
  
  # e.g. mytrim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD5RgCf1hrI 30
  
  function mytrim() {
  
      youtube-dl --extract-audio --embed-thumbnail --audio-format mp3 -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" $1
  
      ffmpeg -ss $2 -i $OUTPUT_MP3 -acodec copy -y temp.mp3
  
      mv temp.mp3 $OUTPUT_MP3
  
      }

  How to get the variable value $OUTPUT_MP3 ?
  echo "%(title)s.%(ext)s" gives the verbatim output, does not give the output filename.

  How could we make the script work ?

  The help will be appreciated.
