• ffmpeg not working with filenames that have whitespace

  1er avril 2017, par cmw

  I’m using FFMPEG to measure the duration of videos stored in an Amazon S3 Bucket.

  I’ve read the FFMPEG docs, and they explicitly state that all whitespace and special characters need to be escaped, in order for FFMPEG to handle them properly :

  See docs 2.1 and 2.1.1 : https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-utils.html

  However, when dealing with files whose filenames contain whitespace, ffmpeg fails to render a result.

  I’ve tried the following, with no success

  ffmpeg -i "http://s3.mybucketname.com/videos/my\ video\ file.mov" 2>&1 | grep Duration | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d
  
  ffmpeg -i "http://s3.mybucketname.com/videos/my video file.mov" 2>&1 | grep Duration | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d
  
  ffmpeg -i "http://s3.mybucketname.com/videos/my'\' video'\' file.mov" 2>&1 | grep Duration | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d
  
  ffmpeg -i "http://s3.mybucketname.com/videos/my\ video\ file.mov" 2>&1 | grep Duration | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d

  However, if I strip out the whitespace in the filename – all is well, and the duration of the video is returned.

  Any help is appreciated !

• Download Partial Video via HTTP (for Remote Thumbnailing)

  13 février 2012, par HuntedC

  I have videos hosted on Amazon S3. I encode them with Zencoder and store a thumbnail for the video then using Zencoder. However, I need a way to generate thumbnails at certain points in the video (i.e. 00:00:03, 00:10:32, 01:40:18) and store them either on S3 or my server.

  ffmpeg allows remote thumbnailing, however it takes a very long time (sometimes several minutes) to get a thumbnail from the middle of a file—I believe this is because it downloads the entire file up to that point to get the thumbnail.

  My plan is to somehow download the header of the video file via HTTP byte-range request, guesstimate the byte range where I should be looking for the thumbnail, download about a second of video from that part of the file via HTTP byte-range request, then save the header and tiny video locally. I pull the thumbnail from that using ffmpeg and delete the temporary video.

  I have no idea on how exactly this would work (I believe the H.264 MP4 files I'm working with have a dynamic length header, for another issue). Any suggestions or better ideas ?

  Edit : To clarify, Zencoder thumbnailing is great, but they only allow thumbnail creation in combination with transcoding. I don't want to transcode my video every time I create a new thumbnail, so I need to do this on my own without Zencoder.
