• dashenc : Use pts for MPD timeline timestamps

  17 novembre 2014, par Martin Storsjö

  dashenc : Use pts for MPD timeline timestamps
  This should be more correct. This also should give more sensible
  
  switching between video streams with different amount of b-frame
  
  delay.
  The current dash.js release (1.2.0) fails to start playback of
  
  such files from the start (if the start pts is > 0), but this has
  
  been fixed in the current git version of dash.js.
  Also enable the use of edit lists, so that streams in many cases
  
  start at pts=0.

• How to convert a video and audio file to be smoothly played via Media Source Extension API ?

  4 octobre 2018, par Aman

  I have built a web video player using the Media Source Extension API. I have been testing my video player using local video and audio files on my PC. Everything works perfectly expect the video keeps buffering. I’m playing a 4k 60fps video, which I downloaded from YouTube. My PC is not 4k resolution, but the video smoothly plays through YouTube and VLC Media Player. I’m just surprised to why my Media Source Extension Video Player buffers even through the video and audio file are not being retrieved via network. I’m assuming that the video and audio files I’m using are causing this problem. So I will explain how I created my video and audio files first :

  1. I downloaded the video from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaCQ8SQ6ZHQ&t=3s using the 4K Video Downloader https://www.4kdownload.com/products/product-videodownloader.

  2. Convert the mkv (the 4K Video Downloader only allows the 4k 60fps video to be downloaded in mkv format, for me) file to mp4 using ffmpeg in CMD : ffmpeg -i test.mkv -codec copy test.mp4.

  3. Converting the test.mp4 file to my preferred 4K resolution 3840x2160 from 3840x1632 using ffmpeg in CMD : ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -s 3840x2160 -c:a copy test_changed.mp4. (NOT SO IMPORTANT)

  4. Separating the video and audio of test_changed.mp4 to video.mp4 for video and audio.mp4 for audio using MP4Box in CMD : Video - MP4Box -single 1 test_changed.mp4 -out video.mp4 and Audio - MP4Box -single 2 test_changed.mp4 -out audio.mp4.

  5. Splitting both video.mp4 and audio.mp4 into 30 split parts each containing 5 seconds of the video and audio file. So I end up having (video_1.mp4,audio_1.mp4), (video_2.mp4,audio_2.mp4), (video_3.mp4,audio_3.mp4), ..... (video_29.mp4,audio_29.mp4), (video_30.mp4,audio_30.mp4). Using ffmpeg and one by one specifying the time range for each part in CMD :

     [For Part 1 : ffmpeg -ss 00:00:00 -to 00:00:05 -i video.mp4 video_1.mp4, ffmpeg -ss 00:00:00 -to 00:00:05 -i audio.mp4 audio_1.mp4],

     [For Part 2 : ffmpeg -ss 00:00:05 -to 00:00:10 -i video.mp4 video_2.mp4, ffmpeg -ss 00:00:05 -to 00:00:10 -i audio.mp4 audio_2.mp4],

     [For Part 3 : ffmpeg -ss 00:00:10 -to 00:00:15 -i video.mp4 video_3.mp4, ffmpeg -ss 00:00:10 -to 00:00:15 -i audio.mp4 audio_3.mp4],

     .....

     [For Part 29 : ffmpeg -ss 00:02:20 -to 00:02:25 -i video.mp4 video_29.mp4, ffmpeg -ss 00:02:20 -to 00:02:25 -i audio.mp4 audio_29.mp4],

     [For Part 30 : ffmpeg -ss 00:02:25 -to 00:02:30 -i video.mp4 video_30.mp4, ffmpeg -ss 00:02:25 -to 00:02:30 -i audio.mp4 audio_30.mp4].

  6. Fragmenting each of the video and audio parts using MP4Box in CMD(As far as I know, fragmented mp4 files are only files played via Media Source Extension API) :

     [For Part 1 : MP4Box -dash 1000 -rap -frag-rap video_1.mp4, MP4Box -dash 1000 -rap -frag-rap audio_1.mp4],

     [For Part 2 : MP4Box -dash 1000 -rap -frag-rap video_2.mp4, MP4Box -dash 1000 -rap -frag-rap audio_2.mp4],

     [For Part 3 : MP4Box -dash 1000 -rap -frag-rap video_3.mp4, MP4Box -dash 1000 -rap -frag-rap audio_3.mp4],

     .....

     [For Part 29 : MP4Box -dash 1000 -rap -frag-rap video_29.mp4, MP4Box -dash 1000 -rap -frag-rap audio_29.mp4],

     [For Part 30 : MP4Box -dash 1000 -rap -frag-rap video_30.mp4, MP4Box -dash 1000 -rap -frag-rap audio_30.mp4].

  7. I receive a fragmented file for each file with "_dashinit" being in it e.g. For Part 1 : video_1_dashinit.mp4 and audio_1_dashinit.mp4. These are the files I’m playing through Media Source Extension API.

  So I’m appending these files into my sourceBuffers and playing it with the video. I have given the test.zip file here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tyPBTxgpS601Xs5VEWznYhWw9PwhMHsB/view?usp=sharing) containing the test sample.

  I’m using this command in CMD to run Chrome and test my file : chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files

  Anyone can use this test sample and see if the video is buffering for them too. Please comment about anything I’m doing wrong, or help me construct a better 5 seconds video and audio files for MSE playable. Thanks

• ffmpeg fast seek not working for MP4 over HTTP

  27 juillet 2024, par Gmanicus

  I'm attempting to download snapshots from a video provided by the U.S House of Representatives :

  


  https://houseliveprod-f9h4cpb9dyb8gegg.a01.azurefd.net/east/2024-04-11T08-55-12_Download/video_3000000_1.mp4


  


  I am using fluent-ffmpeg in Node to execute this command :

  


  ffmpeg('https://houseliveprod-f9h4cpb9dyb8gegg.a01.azurefd.net/east/2024-04-11T08-55-12_Download/video_3000000_1.mp4')
  .inputOption(`-ss 03:33:33`)
  .outputOptions([
     '-vframes 1'
  ])
  .output('test.png')

// Effectively:
// ffmpeg -ss 03:33:33 -i  -y -vframes 1 test.png


  


  My intention is to fast-seek to the desired timestamp and take a snapshot over HTTP. However, when doing so, the performance is not great. A snapshot takes about 10s per 3hrs of video and seems to increase fairly linearly at that rate.

  


  However, when using ffmpeg on the same video locally, it's super fast ! Sub-500ms regardless of the desired timestamp.

  


  Is there some magic that could be done via ffmpeg options or perhaps some sort of technique with manual requests to get a snapshot at the desired segment of video more efficiently ?
