• set ffprobe timeout for streaming protocols (srt,dash,hls,rtmp)

  1er avril 2024, par tester11

  I am trying to write a test where ffprobe after network stream was disconnected will try to open it only for a specified number of seconds, then return with nothing, which would signal that the stream is no more.
I tried to use

  


  


  -timeout 5

  


  


  key but ffprobe did not understand it. I will need such timeout for the 4 protocols as listed in the subject. Example

  


  ffprobe -show_format -show_streams rtmp://my_rtmp_link


  


  Edit :
By trying every single kind of timeout keys listed in ffprobe help I found that this one, one only, accomplishes what I need (in microseconds).

  


  ffprobe -show_format -show_streams rtmp://my_rtmp_link -rw_timeout 5000000


  


  So now I just wonder if it's actually the correct way to do it.

  


• mid-roll ads in HLS or mpeg-dash [on hold]

  15 août 2018, par evan

  I’m encoding my videos with ffmpeg and transcoding them into HLS videos. I want to add mid-roll ads to my converted videos.

  I was wondering what is the best way to do it ? should I just add the ads to my video and make a big video stream and then do the HLS thing ? or I should break the HLs video and put the ads in the middle while playing ?

  My content is live streaming and I want to add mid-roll ads in the middle of my video while playing.

  ffmpeg -i main720.MTS -movflags faststart -s 640*360 -r 24 -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -tune zerolatency -tune fastdecode -b:v 300k -maxrate 300k -bufsize 400k -g 96 -an hls3/main720_300.mp4 -s 1280*720 -r 24 -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -tune zerolatency -tune fastdecode -b:v 700k -maxrate 700k -bufsize 1000k -g 96 -an hls3/main720_700.mp4 -hls_time 4 -hls_segment_filename 'hls3/file%03d.ts' -hls_list_size 0 hls3/out.m3u8

• FFMPEG/DASH-LL creates audio and video chunks at different rates ; player is confused (404 errors)

  26 mai 2021, par Danny

  I'm trying to create a MPEG-DASH "live" stream from a static file to test various low latency modes. The DASH muxer in FFmpeg creates two AdaptationSets, one for video chunks and one for audio chunks.

  


  However, the audio and video chunk files are not created at the same rate (should they be ?). ie, here stream0 are the video chunks and stream1 are the audio chunks. After a few seconds of running, the webroot directory contains :

  


  chunk-stream0-00001.m4s  chunk-stream1-00001.m4s  
chunk-stream0-00002.m4s  chunk-stream1-00002.m4s  
chunk-stream0-00003.m4s  chunk-stream1-00003.m4s  
chunk-stream0-00004.m4s  chunk-stream1-00004.m4s  
                         chunk-stream1-00005.m4s  
                         chunk-stream1-00006.m4s  
                         chunk-stream1-00007.m4s  
                         chunk-stream1-00008.m4s  
                         chunk-stream1-00009.m4s  
master.mpd  
init-stream0.m4s  
init-stream1.m4s  


  


  The stream doesn't load (or play) on either dash.js or shaka-player and there are lots of 404 (Not Found) errors for the video chunks. The player is requesting chunks from both stream0 and stream1 in sequence, ie, stream0-001 + stream1-001, then stream0-002 + stream1-002 and so on.

  


  But since stream0 only goes from 001 to 004, there are lots of 404 errors as it tries to load stream0-005 through 009.

  


  The gap gets wider after letting FFmpeg run for a while. eg, stream0 is 62 to 75 but stream1 is 174 to 187. Reloading the player page at this point fails with dash.all.debug.js:15615 [2055][FragmentController] No video bytes to push or stream is inactive. and shows 404 errors stream0 chunk 188 (which doesn't exist yet !)

  


  

  


  The FFmpeg command was adopted from DASH streaming from the top-down :

  


  ffmpeg -re -i /mnt/swdevel/TestStreams/H264/ThreeHourMovie.mp4 \
-c:v libx264 -x264-params keyint=120:scenecut=0 -b:v 1M -c:a copy \
-f dash -dash_segment_type mp4 \
 -seg_duration 2 \
 -target_latency 3 \
 -frag_type duration \
 -frag_duration 0.2 \
 -window_size 10 \
 -extra_window_size 3 \
 -streaming 1 \
 -ldash 1 \
 -use_template 1 \
 -use_timeline 0 \
 -write_prft 1 \
 -fflags +nobuffer+flush_packets \
 -format_options "movflags=+cmaf" \
 -utc_timing_url "/pelican/testPlayers/time.php" \
 master.mpd


  


  And the dash.js player code is very simple :

  


  const srcUrl = "../ottWebRoot/playerTest/master.mpd"; 

var player = dashjs.MediaPlayer().create();

let autoPlay = false;
player.initialize(document.querySelector("#videoTagId"), srcUrl, autoPlay);

player.updateSettings(
{
    streaming :
    {
        lowLatencyEnabled : true,
        liveDelay : 2,
        jumpGaps : true,
        jumpLargeGaps : true,
        smallGapLimit : 1.5,
    }
});


  


  To provide the UTCTiming element in the manifest, the small time.php URL returns a UTC time from the web server :

  


  <?php
    print gmdate("Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z");
?>


  


  (It also shows 404 errors for the latest stream1/audio chunk, that's likely a different problem)

  


  I'm not sure what to try next. Any and suggestions greatly appreciated.

  


  EDIT I

  


  The suggestion by @Anonymous Coward to change the key interval improved things a lot. The chunks for stream0 and stream1 are in lock-step and have identical sequence numbers.

  


  However, there are still many 404 errors, both on initial page load (without pressing play) and during playback.

  


  I ran watch -n 1 ls -lt code> and compared side-by-side to the errors in the browser console.  It&#x27;s hard to compare but it <em>looks</em> like the browser is trying to fetch files "on the play edge" which haven&#x27;t yet been created by FFmpeg.  See the pic below.

  


  How do I instruct the browser to wait just a bit more before fetching the edge chunks ?

  


  

  


  EDIT II

  


  Using shaka-player instead of dash.js plays properly without 404 errors. Configured as :

  


      player.configure(
    {
        streaming: 
        {
            lowLatencyMode: true,
            inaccurateManifestTolerance: 0,
            rebufferingGoal: 0.1,
        }
        
    });
