• Anomalie #3271 (Nouveau) : tailles_en_octets : tenir compte des norme SI

  22 septembre 2014, par Maïeul Rouquette

  On va pas revenir sur l’historique des puissance de 2 comme unité de mesure, mais actuellement taille_en_octets fait comme si 1 ko = 1024 octets.

  Depuis la normalisation par l’iso, on distingue :
  - 1 ko = 1000 octets
  - 1kio = 1024 octets

  et de même pour les multiples au dessus. Cela n’a guère d’importance pour les petites unités, mais à partir du giga cela se fait sentir.

  Voir https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet#Multiples_normalis.C3.A9s

  Proposition pour que SPIP soit conforme aux normes ISO :
  - changer les chaînes de langues pour utiliser le kibi au lieu du kilo
  - Utiliser les multiples de 10 dans la fonction taille_en_octets, en proposant une constante pour basculer vers l’ancien mode

• Transcode HLS Segments individually using FFMPEG

  27 mai 2013, par rayh

  I am recording a continuous, live stream to a high-bitrate HLS stream. I then want to asynchronously transcode this to different formats/bitrates. I have this working, mostly, except audio artefacts are appearing between each segment (gaps and pops).

  Here is an example ffmpeg command line :

  ffmpeg -threads 1 -nostdin -loglevel verbose \
  
     -nostdin -y -i input.ts -c:a libfdk_aac \
  
     -ac 2 -b:a 64k -y -metadata -vn output.ts

  Inspecting an example sound file shows that there is a gap at the end of the audio :

  

  And the start of the file looks suspiciously attenuated (although this may not be an issue) :

  

  My suspicion is that these artefacts are happening because transcoding are occurring without the context of the stream as a whole.

  Any ideas on how to convince FFMPEG to produce audio that will fit back into a HLS stream ?

  ** UPDATE 1 **

  Here are the start/end of the original segment. As you can see, the start still appears the same, but the end is cleanly ended at 30s. I expect some degree of padding with lossy encoding, but I there is some way that HLS manages to do gapless playback (is this related to iTunes method with custom metadata ?)

  
  

  ** UPDATED 2 **

  So, I converted both the original (128k aac in MPEG2 TS) and the transcoded (64k aac in aac/adts container) to WAV and put the two side-by-side. This is the result :

  
  

  I'm not sure if this is representative of how a client will play it back, but it seems a bit odd that decoding the transcoded one introduces a gap at the start and makes the segment longer. Given they are both lossy encoding, I would have expected padding to be equally present in both (if at all).

  ** UPDATE 3 **

  According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapless_playback - Only a handful of encoders support gapless - for MP3, I've switched to lame in ffmpeg, and the problem, so far, appears to have gone.

  For AAC (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAAC), I have tried libfaac (as opposed to libfdk_aac) and it also seems to produce gapless audio. However, the quality of the latter isn't that great and I'd rather use libfdk_aac is possible.

• Kodi : playback several video files from the internet as single movie with single timeline

  30 mai 2018, par HarryFox

  I’m writing an add-on for Kodi in Python, for a site with movie collection, which can be able to playback online video from the site. But problem is that many of them splitted apart on pieces of different length. And its not mpeg dash nor m3u playlists, its just individual pieces of single movie or an episode.

  My target is able to play those splitted videos as single movie with single timeline and playback will no require download all pieces of a movie. It’s important because many of Movies\episodes provides with subtitle file, that why single timeline is important. Also general idea for plugin which I’m writing is comfort to use, so online playback is very important too.

  I did some research but it almost no result. On official Kodi forum advise to create Input Stream add-on like Input Stream Adaptive, but it was written on c++ and it’s unattainable for me (for now at least). There is no tools for python to create such kind of add-ons.

  Another idea is to create middle server which on fly will somehow (with ffmpeg) combine those pieces, but it seems that the process will too resource-intensive especially for TV-boxes.
  In this case also raise many question about which way is better, and i have no enough experience and knowledge to solve the problems by myself even with google.

  So i need an advice how can i solve the problem, just to know right direction.
  Thank you for your time.
  Sorry for my English.
