  Retour en arrière (suppression de la noisette)

• Decoding the h.264 stream from a COM port

  18 mars, par Peter

  I would like to know if there is a reliable way to decode an H.264 NAL stream coming through a serial port using software.

  


  So far, I have managed to decode a single frame using a python script. In this script, I first write the incoming data to a file, and when the end-of-frame marker 00_00_00_01 appears, I display the frame using ffplay.

  


  import serial
import subprocess
import os
import time

ser = serial.Serial('COM3', 115200, timeout=1)
output_file = "output.264"

# Variable to store the ffplay process
ffplay_process = None

# Open the file for writing in binary mode
with open(output_file, "wb") as file:

    print("Writing bytes to output.264. Waiting for the end-of-frame marker 0x00000001.")

    buffer = bytearray()
    marker = b'\x00\x00\x00\x01'

    try:
        while True:
            if ser.in_waiting:  # If there is data in the buffer
                data = ser.read(ser.in_waiting)  # Read all available bytes
                buffer.extend(data)

                # Check if the end-of-frame marker is in the buffer
                while marker in buffer:
                    index = buffer.index(marker) + len(marker)  # Position after the marker
                    frame = buffer[:index]  # Extract the frame
                    buffer = buffer[index:]  # Keep the remaining data

                    print(f"Frame recorded: {len(frame)} bytes")
                    file.write(frame)  # Write the frame to the file
                    file.flush()  # Force writing to disk

                    # Close the ffplay window if it is already open
                    if ffplay_process and ffplay_process.poll() is None:
                        ffplay_process.terminate()
                        ffplay_process.wait()  # Wait for the process to terminate

                    # Play the recorded frame, reopening the window
                    ffplay_process = subprocess.Popen(["ffplay", "-f", "h264", "-i", output_file])

    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print("\nRecording stopped.")
    finally:
        # Close the serial port and the ffplay process
        ser.close()


  


  However, each time a new end-of-frame marker is detected, the ffplay window closes and reopens to show the next frame. It will flicker when transferring the video. Is there a way to display the frames in the same window for seamless playback when streaming video ?

  


  Or is there a better approach or software that is more suited for this task ? I do not know where to start, so I will be glad for any hints.

  


• converting a "gif" to video using swift

  3 décembre 2019, par James Woodrow

  I’ve looked around and found a few things here and there, mainly that I should be using AVAssetWriter to do this but I have 0 experience with this and video editing/creation so it doesn’t help me much since I can’t seem to find anything that does something I can modify easily (or not at my level of knowledge at least) so that it works as I intend it to.

  I have an app which takes n photos every cft (capture frame time which I get from a backend server) seconds (it’s a double for obvious reasons) I then display these frames using a UIImageView and the frames change every dft (display frame time which I also get from a backend server and can be different from cft). Up until this point nothing complicated.

  now what is currently the workflow is that these frames are sent back to a server with any relevant information I want and then the server would use imagemagick to create a real gif file and ffmpeg to create a 15 seconds video using said gif.

  the issue is this makes it so that my heroku server bills aren’t as low as I would like because of the limited memory on the dynos and the time it takes to generate these videos is of about 5-10 seconds I believe (not sure but it’s longer than I’d like)

  So the idea I had was to make the app create the video since he already has all the information he needs for this, and then simply upload it with the rest of the frames and relevant data. Using bandwidth nowadays is much cheaper than buying extra processing power on a server.

  • he has n frames to loop over
  • he has a float value representing how long each frame should last dft
  • he has a gpu or at least a much better cpu than the dynos heroku have to offer

  I’ve also looked around to see if anyone made an extensive tutorial on how to use ffmpeg in swift but I still didn’t find anything at my level and I didn’t even find a tutorial per se, only some GitHub projects which were partially completed and/or without the original tutorial linked to understand the thought process.

  I would appreciate any tips/code sample/tutorials on the subject.

  I’m adding the ffmpeg command line equivalent to what I would love to be able to do (if I could use ffmpeg directly with iOS this could be nice too)

  ffmpeg -framerate 100/13 -loop 1 -i frame%02d.png -c:v libx264 -r 100/13 -pix_fmt yuv420p -t 0:15 instagram.mp4

  where basically I did 100 / (dft * 100) for the input frame rate and just output at the same fps for 15 seconds. by the way if there are any ways to optimise this command to make it run faster without losing quality I might be able to keep the current way of functioning with heroku although I would still prefer some iOS solution.
