Multilang : améliorer l’interface pour les blocs multilingues
18 février 2011, parMultilang est un plugin supplémentaire qui n’est pas activé par défaut lors de l’initialisation de MediaSPIP.
Après son activation, une préconfiguration est mise en place automatiquement par MediaSPIP init permettant à la nouvelle fonctionnalité d’être automatiquement opérationnelle. Il n’est donc pas obligatoire de passer par une étape de configuration pour cela. -
Encoding and processing into web-friendly formats
13 avril 2011, parMediaSPIP automatically converts uploaded files to internet-compatible formats.
Video files are encoded in MP4, Ogv and WebM (supported by HTML5) and MP4 (supported by Flash).
Audio files are encoded in MP3 and Ogg (supported by HTML5) and MP3 (supported by Flash).

Contribute to translation
13 avril 2011You can help us to improve the language used in the software interface to make MediaSPIP more accessible and user-friendly. You can also translate the interface into any language that allows it to spread to new linguistic communities.
To do this, we use the translation interface of SPIP where the all the language modules of MediaSPIP are available. Just subscribe to the mailing list and request further informantion on translation.

FFMPEG error submitting a packet to the muxer
27 juillet 2024, par Badgio10177I am attempting to stream video frames to a RTSP server using FFMPEG. I instantiate an ffmpeg pipeline in c++. There are times when the process works perfectly and other times I get the error Error submitting a packet to the muxer : Broken pipe. Error muxing a packet. What uis strange is that there are times when the stream works and times when it does not which leads me to believe that the FFMPEG parameters that I set are not necessarily incorrect.


I am using a mex function within MATLAB to take in a frame and stream it.


// Global variables
FILE* openPipeLine = NULL;

void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[], int frameWidth, int frameHeight)
{

 Ptr<mat> inputFrame = ocvMxArrayToImage_uint8(prhs[0], true);
 Mat processedFrame = *inputFrame;

 // Check if FFMPEG process has been started
 if (!openPipeLine)
 {
 openPipeLine = _popen("ffmpeg -report -f rawvideo -r 10 -video_size 1280x720 -pixel_format bgr24 -i pipe: -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:8554/mystream 2> log.txt", "wb");

 }

 // Write the frame data to the pipeline
 fwrite(processedFrame.data, 1, frameWidth * frameHeight * 3, openPipeLine);
 mexAtExit(exitFcn);
}
</mat>


Below is the full report from the ffmpeg process. Do my operating system variables change from time to time which cause the stream to work at times and break at others ? I am using Windows 10.

How can I increase the performance of this video watermarking call which seems to be only using 6% of my system's CPU ? Currently using ffmpeg
24 août 2023, par CodemonkeyI have a php script to add a watermark to an uploaded video, using ffmpeg


shell_exec("ffmpeg -y -i input.mp4 -i watermark.png -filter_complex $filter output.mp4")



The video is 36 seconds long, 33MB and 1080x1920, 24fps. The output video comes in at 8MB, scaled down to 540x960 with a PNG overlaid as a watermark.


The script takes about 3 seconds, averaging 320fps or so. For a one-off this would be ok, but I'm going to be processing hundreds/thousands of these at a time.


I have 128GB of ram and an EPYC 7502p (32cores/64threads), and both input and output files are on NVMe drives.


If I monitor
top
showing all my cores/threads in another window, with refresh delay set to a variety of things from 0.1 to 2 seconds, I'd guesstimate that this hits about 1/4 of my available threads, at about 25% utilisation each.

So it kind of feels like I COULD see a 16x speed increase if it hit all of them at 100%. That actually wouldn't be ideal, locking up the server of course, but when my CPU is sat at 99% idle 99% of the time, I feel it could do better - it'd be nice to see it hitting at least half the cores or utilising at least 50% of them when it does...


So, is there anything I can change with ffmpeg's config/build or the way I call it ? If this is as good as ffmpeg can do, are there better tools for the job ?


Thank you



EDIT :


A few things I've learnt since posting :


- 

-c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast
- marginal helpnice -n -10
- marginal help (changing to -20 is makes negligible difference)-c:a copy
- significant help, which I found surprising








FPS up from 320 to 540 using those 3 combined. I still feel there should be significantly more gains somewhere though...



Here's the output from the original script, if it helps :

FFMPEG Pipeline Crash [closed]
17 août 2023, par Badgio10177I instantiate an ffmpeg pipeline within C++. No frames get streamed to the RTSP server and the pipeline crashes unexpectedly.


I have the following code :


#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo>
#include "opencvmex.hpp"
#include 
#include 
#include "mex.h"
#include 
#include 
#include // Windows API for process enumeration
#include <opencv2></opencv2>core.hpp>

// Global variables
FILE* openPipeLine = NULL;

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Exit function to execute when the mex function is cleared.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void exitFcn()
{
 fflush(openPipeLine); // Clear out the pipeline.
 _pclose(openPipeLine); //Close the pipeline.
}

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Main entry point to a MEX function
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[], int frameWidth, int frameHeight)
{
 // Use the appropriate namespace for OpenCV functions
 using namespace cv;

 Ptr<mat> inputFrame = ocvMxArrayToImage_uint8(prhs[0], true);
 Mat processedFrame = *inputFrame;

 // Check if FFMPEG process has been started
 if (!openPipeLine)
 {
 openPipeLine = _popen("ffmpeg -f rawvideo -r 10 -video_size 1280x720 -pixel_format bgr24 -i pipe: -vcodec libx264 -crf 25 -pix_fmt yuv420p -f rtsp rtsp://192.168.0.2:8554/mystream 2> log.txt", "wb");
 }

 // Write the frame data to the pipeline
 fwrite(processedFrame.data, 1, frameWidth * frameHeight * 3, openPipeLine);
 mexAtExit(exitFcn);
}



</mat></typeinfo></iostream>


The function is a Matlab Mex function. What is interesting is that there are certain times when the stream works and some times it just crashes. The log file for the ffmpeg process is the following :

Are there any parameters in my pipeline that are causing the process to crash ?
