• How to get a list of video devices with a particular VendorID and/or ProductID using FFmpeg (on Mac OS)

  26 mai 2020, par mcgregor94086

  The master task :

  



  I am writing software for a multiple USB camera array. The camera may be connected to a CPU that has other USB cameras builtin or attached. I need to capture one 1920x1080 JPG image from EACH of MY array's cameras into a directory of images - but I need to EXCLUDE any OTHER cameras when taking pictures.

  



  Right now I am trying to implement for MacOS, but in the future I will be implementing for Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.

  



  What is known :

  



  I know the VendorID, ProductID and UniqueID (reported by the MacOS USB system System Hardware Report) for each of the cameras in the camera array.

  



  UNIQUESKY_CAR_CAMERA #5:

  Model ID: UVC Camera VendorID_7119 ProductID_2825
  Unique ID:    0x143400001bcf0b09

UNIQUESKY_CAR_CAMERA #6:

  Model ID: UVC Camera VendorID_7119 ProductID_2825
  Unique ID:    0x143300001bcf0b09


  



  The problem code :

  



  I made the following call to FFmpeg

  



  ffmpeg -nostdin -hide_banner -an -sn -dn  -f avfoundation -list_devices true -I 1


  



  I received the following result in stderr :

  



      [AVFoundation indev @ 0x7fc870e21800] AVFoundation video devices:
    [AVFoundation indev @ 0x7fc870e21800] [0] FaceTime HD Camera (Built-in)
    [AVFoundation indev @ 0x7fc870e21800] [1] UNIQUESKY_CAR_CAMERA #5
    [AVFoundation indev @ 0x7fc870e21800] [2] UNIQUESKY_CAR_CAMERA #6
    [AVFoundation indev @ 0x7fc870e21800] [3] Capture screen 0
    [AVFoundation indev @ 0x7fc870e21800] [4] Capture screen 1
    [AVFoundation indev @ 0x7fc870e21800] AVFoundation audio devices:
    [AVFoundation indev @ 0x7fc870e21800] [0] MacBook Pro Microphone
    1: Input/output error


  



  Of these devices listed in the output, I happen to know (in this particular TEST CASE) that the cameras in my test array, are only these two :

  



  [1] UNIQUESKY_CAR_CAMERA #5
[2] UNIQUESKY_CAR_CAMERA #6


  



  With this knowledge, I can select the indices (1 2) that I need, and then use the following code to capture an image from each :

  



  for i in 1 2; 
do
    ffmpeg  -y -hide_banner  -f avfoundation  -r 15 -video_size 1920x1080 -i 1  -f image2 -qscale:v 1 -qmin 1 -qmax 1 -frames:v 1 img$i.jpg;
done



  



  Unfortunately, in production use (i.e. outside of this test case), I CAN NOT rely on cameras all identifying themselves with the same TEXT "name" prefix (e.g. "UNIQUESKY_CAR_CAMERA"), so I can't just use grep to select the ones I want.

  



  But I CAN be sure that I will know their VendorID, ProductID and UniqueIDs.

  



  So, IF I could get

  



  ffmpeg  -nostdin -hide_banner -an -sn -dn  -f avfoundation -list_devices true -I 1


  



  to also list the VendorID and ProductID, then I could grep for those values.

  



  Is this solution possible ? I can't find syntax in the documentation or examples for how to set such limits.

  



  ALTERNATIVELY : if I could specify to FFmpeg -list_devices to limit the output list to just those with my specified VendorID and ProductIDs then I could easily get the list of device indices I will need for the succeeding image extraction.

  



  Is this solution possible ? I can't find syntax in the documentation or examples for how to set such limits.

  



  Special Note :
  
The cameras I am using are all 1920x1080, and that resolution is necessary for my application. As has been noted by many Mac users on the web, other image capture programs (such as imagesnap) sometimes capture images at lower resolution (1024x720) than the cameras are capable of, and will not capture images at higher resolutions such as (1920x1080). For this reason, and because it is available on ALL the OS platforms of interest to us, I chose to use FFmpeg.

  


• What is the difference between "location" and "location-eng" metadata of a MP4 file ?

  10 décembre 2020, par Weihang Jian

  I am trying to retrieve GPS information from media files using ffprobe, for example :

  


  $ ffprobe -v quiet -show_format sample.mp4
[FORMAT]
filename=sample.mp4
nb_streams=2
nb_programs=0
format_name=mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2
format_long_name=QuickTime / MOV
start_time=0.000000
duration=4.293000
size=11888152
bit_rate=22153556
probe_score=100
TAG:major_brand=mp42
TAG:minor_version=0
TAG:compatible_brands=isommp42
TAG:creation_time=2020-09-20T11:33:49.000000Z
TAG:location=+25.0731+121.3663/
TAG:location-eng=+25.0731+121.3663/
TAG:com.android.version=10
TAG:com.android.manufacturer=Google
TAG:com.android.model=Pixel
[/FORMAT]


  


  We can see that there are 2 tags that look like ISO6709 representations, location and location-eng.

  


  And here are my questions :

  


  

  1. What is the difference between location and location-eng ? It looks like they are always the same. Why do we need 2 different keys with same the value ?

  


  2. Are location and location-eng really in ISO6709 representations ? Is there any specification or standard I can refer to ?

  


  


  I would really appreciate your help.

  


• RTSP Streaming Server C++

  24 août 2020, par Lakshya

  I would like to write a RTSP streaming server using C++. Multiple clients will be connected to this server for receiving the streamed data.

  


  What I understand is that I need to do socket programming in C++ for client server architecture.

  


  I know FFMPEG has command line support for streaming audio/video. But my requirement is writing a client server socket model in C++.

  


  I had a look at https://www.medialan.de/usecase0001.html

  


  I am also looking at this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEMzo59CPr8

  


  but I am not sure if this will help me.

  


  For streaming the audio/video data, Do i need to use FFMEPG APIs. If yes, which libraries of FFMPEG i need to use ?.
