• How to properly abort av_seek_frame on FFmpeg ?

  5 mars 2021, par SuRGeoNix

  Normally, you wouldn't care aborting av_seek_frame as it would be really fast on a local file. However, in my case I use a custom AVIOContext for torrent streaming with custom read/seek functions and I'm not able to abort a single seek request !

  


  I've already tried interrupt callbacks (they will not be called at all), some timeouts (rw_timeout/timeout etc.) but by checking FFmpeg's code didn't find anything at all. My last chance was to try to return on read/seek functions an error (I've tried AVERROR_EXIT) which causes even more problems (memory leaks).

  


  The main issue is with Matroska formats that they need to resync (level-1) and they are trying to scan the whole file.

  


  Unfortunately, I'm using C# .NET with FFmpeg.Autogen bindings which means that I don't have low-level access to play around. My workaround is to re-open the whole format context in case on seek abort (to ensure that the player will continues to play at least)

  


  Hope you have a tip for me !

  


  (By the way for some http/hls web formats interrupt callbacks are supported)

  


• Have 2 blocking scripts interact with each other in linux

  18 novembre 2014, par Ortixx

  I have 2 blocking shell scripts which I want to have interact with each other. The scripts in question are peerflix (nodejs script) and ffmpeg (a simple bash script).

  What happens : Peerflix fires up, feeds data to ffmpeg bash scrip which terminates peerflix on completion.

  So once peerflix starts it outputs 2 lines and blocks immediately :

  [08:15 PM]-[vagrant@packer-virtualbox-iso]-[/var/www/test]-[git master] 
  
  $ node /var/www/test/node/node_modules/peerflix/app.js /var/www/test/flexget/torrents/test.torrent -r -q
  
  listening: http://10.0.2.15:38339/
  
  process: 9601

  I have to feed the listening address to the ffmpeg bash script :

  #!/bin/sh
  
  ffmpeg -ss 00:05:00 -i {THE_LISTENING_PORT} -frames:v 1 out1.jpg
  
  ffmpeg -ss 00:10:00 -i {THE_LISTENING_PORT} -frames:v 1 out2.jpg

  After the bash script is done I have to kill the peerflix script (hence me outputting the PID).

  My question is how do I achieve this ?

• Sorenson Video 3 For Posterity

  12 août 2010, par Multimedia Mike — Software Museum

  On a recent dumpster dive, I procured a complete, never-been-opened copy of Sorenson Video 3 Professional Edition Compressor for Windows. And because I’m me, I thought it would be interesting to document it here :

  
  

  
  

  Not opened until now, anyway :

  
  
  

  I chuckled at the thought that I might open the user manual and find the complete data stream format listed therein. As expected, the guide offers a broad overview of video compression concepts (lossy vs. lossless, inter/intraframes, that kind of thing) and goes on to describe general guidelines for compressing different types of data. Then there is the feature reference. There are standard features and professional features (the latter includes things like bidirectional prediction, masking, and watermarking).

  I was hoping to figure out how to encode some video with this software. But I think I need full Quicktime Pro in order to do that. If you’re interested, here’s the user manual in PDF format : Sorenson Video 3 User Guide (626 Kbytes). Here’s an interesting claim from the chapter on audio compression :

  Most movies are made up of two parts, video and audio. Historically, the video portion of a digital movie was so large that the audio was only a minor piece of the puzzle. However, with Sorenson Video’s excellent compression capabilities it is possible to create a file where audio is the largest portion.

  I know it’s possible to do that, but is it really recommended ? I’m sure I have some samples in my vast repository where this is the case but it still doesn’t strike me as optimal for network delivery.
