• ffmpeg pixelated logo and video, how do i improve ?

  4 janvier 2017, par S Xhaferaj

  i’m trying to instert a logo over a stream, the logo and stream after i start become very much so pixelated. Is there a way just to insert the logo and not mess with the stream or is there any way to improve the quality of the logo & stream.

  -fflags +genpts -i {INPUT} -i http://sample.com/logo.png -filter_complex "overlay=10:10"

  Thank you. =/> FFMPEG COMMAND PICTURE

• Monster Battery Power Revisited

  28 mai 2010, par Multimedia Mike — Python, Science Projects

  So I have this new fat netbook battery and I performed an experiment to determine how long it really lasts. In my last post on the matter, it was suggested that I should rely on the information that gnome-power-manager is giving me. However, I have rarely seen GPM report more than about 2 hours of charge ; even on a full battery, it only reports 3h25m when I profiled it as lasting over 5 hours in my typical use. So I started digging to understand how GPM gets its numbers and determine if, perhaps, it’s not getting accurate data from the system.

  I started poking around /proc for the data I wanted. You can learn a lot in /proc as long as you know the right question to ask. I had to remember what the power subsystem is called — ACPI — and this led me to /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state which has data such as :

  present :                 yes
  capacity state :          ok
  charging state :          charged
  present rate :            unknown
  remaining capacity :      100 mAh
  present voltage :         8326 mV
  

  "Remaining capacity" rated in mAh is a little odd ; I would later determine that this should actually be expressed as a percentage (i.e., 100% charge at the time of this reading). Examining the GPM source code, it seems to determine as a function of the current CPU load (queried via /proc/stat) and the battery state queried via a facility called devicekit. I couldn’t immediately find any source code to the latter but I was able to install a utility called ’devkit-power’. Mostly, it appears to rehash data already found in the above /proc file.

  Curiously, the file /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info, which displays essential information about the battery, reports the design capacity of my battery as only 4400 mAh which is true for the original battery ; the new monster battery is supposed to be 10400 mAh. I can imagine that all of these data points could be conspiring to under-report my remaining battery life.

  Science project : Repeat the previous power-related science project but also parse and track the remaining capacity and present voltage fields from the battery state proc file.

  Let’s skip straight to the results (which are consistent with my last set of results in terms of longevity) :

  
  
  

  So there is definitely something strange going on with the reporting— the 4400 mAh battery reports discharge at a linear rate while the 10400 mAh battery reports precipitous dropoff after 60%.

  Another curious item is that my script broke at first when there was 20% power remaining which, as you can imagine, is a really annoying time to discover such a bug. At that point, the "time to empty" reported by devkit-power jumped from 0 seconds to 20 hours (the first state change observed for that field).

  Here’s my script, this time elevated from Bash script to Python. It requires xdotool and devkit-power to be installed (both should be available in the package manager for a distro).

• Windows Pipes STDIN and STDOUT Parent Child proc communication IPC FFMPEG

  15 octobre 2018, par Evren Bingøl

  I am writing a simple WINDOWS app which demonstrates piping,

  I pass byte size data down to child proc, increment the value and send the char size data back to parent and loop until it reaches MAX_CHAR
  Pretty much demonstration of "i++" with IPC.

  Parent Process

  while(i<256){
  
      bSuccess = WriteFile(g_hChildStd_IN_Wr, chBuf, sizeof(char), &dwWritten, NULL);
  
      bSuccess = ReadFile(g_hChildStd_OUT_Rd, chBuf, sizeof(char), &dwRead, NULL); // IF THERE IS NO FFLUSH IT BLOCKS
  
  }

  And in Child

  while (i<256){
  
          byte data=0;
  
          fread(&data, sizeof(char), 1, stdout);
  
          data++;
  
          fwrite(&data, sizeof(char), 1, stdout);
  
          //fflush(stdout); IF I DO NOT HAVE THIS  PARENT BLOCKS ON READ
  
  }

  First of all if I do not FFLUSH child proc stdout, the parent blocks on reading child’s stdout.

  How can one run this code without having to fflush child’s stdout.

  Closing the pipe after child’s first write is not an option as it is in a loop and needs to execute 256 times.

  more generically I want the child to write N bytes to parent, parent read that N bytes do something and write back to child another N bytes and child does something with that N bytes and write to parent N bytes. This happens M times.

  thing is I can not use fflush because my final goal is to use a child process that is not implemented by me.

  My final goal is to pipe data to FFMPEG encode the data and read back from the stdin and do this over and over again with out having to fork a new FFMPEG process for each image frame but rather fork one instance of FFMPEG and pipe data in and read data out from it. And since I did not implement ffmpeg and I can not change the source code.

  thanks
