• How to change metadata with ffmpeg/avconv without creating a new file ?

  15 avril 2014, par tampis

  I am writing a python script for producing audio and video podcasts. There are a bunch of recorded media files (audio and video) and text files containing the meta information.

  Now I want to program a function which shall add the information from the meta data text files to all media files (the original and the converted ones). Because I have to handle many different file formats (wav, flac, mp3, mp4, ogg, ogv...) it would be great to have a tool which add meta data to arbitrary formats.

  My Question :

  How can I change the metadata of a file with ffmpeg/avconv without changing the audio or video of it and without creating a new file ? Is there another commandline/python tool which would do the job for me ?

  What I tried so far :

  I thought ffmpeg/avconv could be such a tool, because it can handle nearly all media formats. I hoped, that if I set -i input_file and the output_file to the same file, ffmpeg/avconv will be smart enough to leave the file unchanged. Then I could set -metadata key=value and just the metadata will be changed.

  But I noticed, that if I type avconv -i test.mp3 -metadata title='Test title' test.mp3 the audio test.mp3 will be reconverted in another bitrate.

  So I thought to use -c copy to copy all video and audio information. Unfortunately also this does not work :

  :~$ du -h test.wav # test.wav is 303 MB big
  
  303M    test.wav
  
  
  
  :~$ avconv -i test.wav -c copy -metadata title='Test title' test.wav

  :~$ du -h test.wav # file size of test.wav changed dramatically
  
  900K    test.wav

  You see, that I cannot use -c copy if input_file and output_file are the same. Of course I could produce a temporarily file :

  :-$ avconv -i test.wav -c copy -metadata title='Test title' test_temp.mp3
  
  :-$ mv test_tmp.mp3 test.mp3

  But this solution would create (temporarily) a new file on the filesystem and is therefore not preferable.

• Shared Hosting + Static FFMPEG + PHP (or other scripting language) == failure on finding codec

  7 juillet 2012, par Ethan Allen

  here is the following environment :

  1. 1and1 shared hosting (they do not have ffmpeg installed, all good)
  2. i built a static ffmpeg binary that does not require dynamic loading of shared libaries (i built this on an Ubuntu system)
  3. ffmpeg binary is fully accessible and is able to get access
  4. executing the same command terminal or executing a php/perl script via terminal works fine...however, both scripts through a browser/web request fails with the following :

  The user running the script at terminal AND the apache user are the same user...i have verified this.

  Something about the environment apache is running through is killing me...i dont have access to apache error logs unfortunately.

  As a side note...i am trying to utilize the Video Embed & Thumbnail Generator for wordpress.

  Any help appreciated, thanks !
