• Ffmpeg - How can I create HLS multiple language streams, in multiple qualities ?

  28 avril 2022, par Daniel Ellis

  Preface

  


  I'm working on converting videos from 4k to multiple qualities with multiple languages but am having issues with the multiple languages overlaying, sometimes losing quality and sometimes being out of sync. (this is less of a problem in the German audio, as this is voice over anyhow)

  


  We as a team are complete noobs in terms of Video / Audio + HLS — I'm a front end developer who has no experience of this so apologies if my question is poorly phrased

  Videos

  


  I have the video in a 4k format and have removed the original sound as I have English and German audio files that need to be overlayed. I am then taking these files and throwing them together into a .ts file like this :

  


  $ ffmpeg -i ep03-ns-4k.mp4 -i nkit-ep3-de-output.m4a -i nkit-ep3-en-output.m4a \
> -thread 0 -muxdelay 0 -y \
> -map 0:v -map 1 -map 2  -movflags +faststart -refs 1 \
> -vcodec libx264 -acodec aac -profile:v baseline -level 30 -ar 44100 -ab 64k -f mpegts out.ts 


  


  This outputs a 4k out.ts video, with both audio tracks playing.

  


  The hard part

  


  This is where I'm finding it tricky, I now need to convert this single file into multiple quality levels (480, 720, 1080, 1920) and I attempt this with the following command :

  


  ffmpeg -hide_banner -y -i out.ts \
-crf 20 -sc_threshold 0 -g 48 -keyint_min 48 -ar 48000 \
-map 0:v:0 -map 0:v:0 -map 0:v:0 -map 0:v:0 \
-c:v:0 h264 -profile:v:0 main -filter:v:0 "scale=w=848:h=480:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease" -b:v:0 1400k -maxrate:v:0 1498k -bufsize:v:0 2100k \
-c:v:1 h264 -profile:v:1 main -filter:v:1 "scale=w=1280:h=720:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease" -b:v:1 2800k -maxrate:v:1 2996k -bufsize:v:1 4200k \
-c:v:2 h264 -profile:v:2 main -filter:v:2 "scale=w=1920:h=1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease" -b:v:2 5600k -maxrate:v:2 5992k -bufsize:v:2 8400k \
-c:v:3 h264 -profile:v:3 main -filter:v:3 "scale=w=3840:h=1920:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease" -b:v:3 11200k -maxrate:v:3 11984k -bufsize:v:3 16800k \
-var_stream_map "v:0 v:1 v:2 v:3" \
-master_pl_name master.m3u8 \
-f hls -hls_time 4 -hls_playlist_type vod -hls_list_size 0 \
-hls_segment_filename "%v/episode-%03d.ts" "%v/episode.m3u8"


  


  This creates the required qualities, but I'm now at a loss of how this might work with the audio

  


  Audio

  


  For the audio I run this command :

  


  ffmpeg -i out.ts -threads 0 -muxdelay 0 -y -map 0:a:0 -codec copy -f segment -segment_time 4 -segment_list_size 0 -segment_list audio-de/audio-de.m3u8 -segment_format mpegts audio-de/audio-de_%d.aac
ffmpeg -i out.ts -threads 0 -muxdelay 0 -y -map 0:a:1 -codec copy -f segment -segment_time 4 -segment_list_size 0 -segment_list audio-en/audio-en.m3u8 -segment_format mpegts audio-en/audio-en_%d.aac



  


  This creates the required audio segments.

  


  The question

  


  I realise this is quite an ask, but is there anything wrong with our inputs ? Is there a way that this can be done a bit more streamlined ?

  


  Any answers are greatly appreciated.

  


• Receiving multiple files from ffmpeg via subprocesses.PIPE

  11 avril 2022, par Per Plexi

  I am using ffmpeg to convert a video into images. These images are then processed by my Python program. Originally I used ffmpeg to first save the images to disk, then reading them one by one with Python.

  



  This works fine, but in an effort to speed up the program I am trying to skip the storage step and only work with the images in memory.

  



  I use the following ffmpeg and Python subproccesses command to pipe the output from ffmpeg to Python :

  



  command = "ffmpeg.exe -i ADD\\sg1-original.mp4 -r 1 -f image2pipe pipe:1"
pipe = subprocess.Popen(ffmpeg-command, stdout = subprocess.PIPE, stderr = subprocess.PIPE)
image = Image.new(pipe.communicate()[0])


  



  The image variable can then be used by my program. The problem is that if I send more than 1 image from ffmpeg all the data is stored in this variable. I need a way to separate the images. The only way I can think of is splitting on jpeg markers end of file (0xff, 0xd9). This works, but is unreliable.

  



  What have I missed regarding piping files with subproccesses. Is there a way to only read one file at a time from the pipeline ?

  


• ffmpeg combining multiple commands into one

  13 septembre 2021, par Richard

  Justing wondering how to combine below commands into one, I have searched how to combine simple filters with comma and complex filter with colon, but I'm not sure how to do this.

  


  Basically I want the output of the first command to be the input of the second.

  


  Command 1 : concatenate multiple clips into one with different xfade transitions.

  


  Command 2 : add a fade in for a video

  


  ffmpeg -i input0.mp4 -i input1.mp4 -i input2.mp4 -i input3.mp4 -i input4.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]xfade=transition=fade:duration=0.500:offset=27.486[v01];[v01][2:v]xfade=transition=fadeblack:duration=1.000:offset=31.531[v02];[v02][3:v]xfade=transition=fadeblack:duration=1.000:offset=42.972[v03];[v03][4:v]xfade=transition=fade:duration=0.500:offset=94.149,format=yuv420p[video];[0:a][1:a]acrossfade=d=0.500:c1=tri:c2=tri[a01];[a01][2:a]acrossfade=d=1.000:c1=tri:c2=tri[a02];[a02][3:a]acrossfade=d=1.000:c1=tri:c2=tri[a03];[a03][4:a]acrossfade=d=0.500:c1=tri:c2=tri[audio]" -map [video] -map [audio] -movflags +faststart output.mp4

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "fade=t=in:st=0.000:d=1.000:color=black" -c:a copy output.mp4
