• FPS drop in FFMPEG streaming processes to FB from production server

  30 janvier 2017, par Aakash Gupta

  I have made a rails app that can stream live videos to facebook rtmp server and deployed it on AWS. I have used nginx as web server. The major problem that I am encountering after viewing log files of FFMpeg processes is that sometimes the FPS of FFmpeg process starts to drop. In some cases, it remains stable at 25 FPS but in some cases, it remains at 25 only for sometime, and after that it starts to drop and sometimes it falls to even 3-4 FPS which is unacceptable during live streaming. As FFMpeg process is quite heavy, I would also like to share my CPU info as well.

  CPU information is :

  cat /proc/cpuinfo

  FFMPEG log file with unstable fps : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1gtp1iXJppkUndFamk4M0lRYzA

  FFMPEG log file with stable fps : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1gtp1iXJppkMkVCZEJjYWJrVTA

  When FPS was stable, I also tried to run another parallel FFMpeg process from the same server which resulted in FPS dropping of both the processes to 13-14 FPS.

  I am currently using this FFMPEG command :

  ffmpeg -loop 1 -re -y -f image2 -i "image_path" -i "audio_path.aac" -acodec copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc -pix_fmt yuv420p -profile:v high -s 1280x720 -vb 400k -maxrate 400k -minrate 400k -bufsize 600k -deinterlace -vcodec libx264 -preset veryfast -g 30 -r 30 -t 14400 -strict -2 -f flv "rtmp_server_link"

  I never face this problem when I try to stream to FB using app on my localhost.

  So, my questions are :

  1. What can be the reason for this FPS drop ?
  2. Can upscaling production server help me fix this issue ?
  3. Can I run multiple FFMpeg processes for streaming from same server without performance drop ?

  Thanks in advance :)

• avutil : add hwcontext_amf.

  15 octobre 2024, par Dmitrii Ovchinnikov

  avutil : add hwcontext_amf.
  Adds  hwcontext_amf, enabling a shared AMF context for encoders,
  
  decoders, and AMF-based filters, without copy to the host memory.
  
  Code also was tested in HandBrake.
  Benefits :
  
   - Optimizations for direct video memory access from CPU
  
   - Significant performance boost in full AMF pipelines with filters
  
   - Integration of GPU filters like VPP, Super Resolution, and
  
      Compression Artefact Removal(in future plans)
  
   - VCN power management control for decoders.
  
   - Ability to specify which VCN instance to use for decoding
  
     (like for encoder)
  
   - AMD will soon introduce full AMF API for multimedia accelerator MA35D
  
     - With AMF API, integration will be much easier :
  
        GPU and the accelerator will have the same API
  
     - including encoder, decoder, scaler, color converter,
  
        Windows and Linux.
  
     Learn more :
  
        https://www.amd.com/en/products/accelerators/alveo/ma35d.html
  Changes by versions :
  
  v2 : Header file cleanup.
  
  v3 : Removed an unnecessary class.
  
  v4 : code cleanup and improved error handling
  
  v5 : Fixes related to HandBrake integration.
  
  v6 : Sequential filters error and memory leak have been fixed.

• 3 hidden Piwik features you likely don’t know, that will make you more productive

  17 janvier 2017, par InnoCraft — Community

  At Piwik and at InnoCraft, we always aim to make features as intuitive as possible. Having thousands of features in Piwik and having to find a balance between beginners and advanced users can sometimes be a challenge. Sometimes this even leads to building hidden features that are mainly targeted for power users. The list below shows three of them, did you know any of them yet ?

  BTW : If you don’t have Piwik yet, you can try them on our Piwik Demo.

  1. Search

  When you press the letter “f”, it will activate the search bar in the top left. Once you start typing something, it will show matching reports. Say you want to view reports about “devices” but don’t remember exactly which category it is in, simply start typing “devices” and the matching entry will show up without even having to move the mouse.

  The search bar also searches for matching websites and segments. Use the arrow up and down keys to select the entry you want and press enter to confirm the selection.

  Say you don’t remember the name of a report but you know it is listed under the category “Visitor”, then start typing the name of the category and it will show all related reports.

  2. Zen Mode

  When you press the letter “z”, it will activate the Zen Mode which lets you focus on the reports and content by removing the header and left menu. To disable the Zen Mode, simply press “z” again.

  This is especially useful in combination with the search bar mentioned above, as it enables you to quickly switch between reports, websites and segments even while menu and header are hidden.

  3. Faster period change

  Changing the displayed period is a task you likely perform quite often when analyzing reports. Usually, you would first select the period and then press the button “Apply” in the date selector. Instead, you can simply double click the name of the period and it will immediately load the selected period without having to click on the “Apply” button.
