• FFmpeg stream giving me "Alsa" errors

  14 mars 2019, par Sherman B.

  Of late I have been trying different ways of telling my Raspberry Pi to send video to YouTube live stream. One of the things I wanted to be able to do is boot the Pi up, and it automatically starts the live stream on its own. The advantages to this are huge (won’t have to tote around keyboard/mouse to start the stream, or have to ssh into the Pi to start the stream).

  Now what I did to accomplish this was to make a Python program that pipes the stream from my encoder(FFmpeg) directly to the stream. My goal was to make the program work, and then, set it to run automatically. But every time I run the file in my terminal this is my result :

  Traceback (most recent call last):
  
    File "stream.py", line 22, in <module>
  
      stream.stdin.close() 
  
  NameError: name 'stream' is not defined
  
  [h264 @ 0x19ed450] Could not find codec parameters for stream 0 (Video: h264, none): unspecified size
  
  Consider increasing the value for the 'analyzeduration' and 'probesize' options
  
  pi@raspberrypi:~ $ Input #0, h264, from 'pipe:':
  
    Duration: N/A, bitrate: N/A
  
      Stream #0:0: Video: h264, none, 25 tbr, 1200k tbn, 50 tbc
  
  Unknown input format: 'alsa'
  
  </module>

  Now I think I can fix I can fix some of those errors, but the biggest thing that worries me there is : the fact that "alsa" is unknown. I installed "libsasound" which is supposed to make Alsa usable, but that clearly did not help.

  I am using Python 3.

  This is my syntax for this program :

  import subprocess 
  
  import picamera 
  
  import time 
  
  YOUTUBE="rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/" 
  
  KEY = ("MY PERSONAL ENCODER KEY") 
  
  stream_cmd = 'ffmpeg -f h264 -r 25 -i - -itsoffset 5.5 -fflags nobuffer -f alsa -ac 1 -i hw:1,0 -vcodec copy -acodec aac -ac 1 -ar 8000 -ab 32k -map 0:0 -map 1:0 -strict experimental -f flv ' + YOUTUBE + KEY 
  
  stream_pipe = subprocess.Popen(stream_cmd, shell=True, stdin=subprocess.PIPE) 
  
  camera = picamera.PiCamera(resolution=(640, 480), framerate=25) 
  
  try: 
  
    now = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S") 
  
    camera.framerate = 25 
  
    camera.vflip = True 
  
    camera.hflip = True 
  
    camera.start_recording(stream.stdin, format='h264', bitrate = 2000000) 
  
    while True: 
  
       camera.wait_recording(1) 
  
  except KeyboardInterrupt: 
  
       camera.stop_recording() 
  
  finally: 
  
    camera.close()
  
    stream.stdin.close() 
  
    stream.wait() 
  
    print("Camera safely shut down") 
  
    print("Good bye") 

  Now maybe I am missing something simple here, but I don’t know what. I have tried many ideas (e.g. replacing Alsa with some other input, naming the "stream" function.) I have no idea.

• It’s January 28th : Let’s celebrate Data Privacy !

  29 janvier 2018, par Matomo Core Team

  It is a special Sunday here for us at Matomo, as today is international Data Privacy Day. The day was created in 2007 to raise awareness of the importance of data privacy for people and businesses worldwide.

  

  What is data privacy about ?

  Personal data refers to any data which is collected and can be linked to an individual human being such as phone records, credit card transactions, GPS position, IP addresses, browsing history… So basically, personal data refers to your identity online. That is why you should be highly concerned about sending your personal data (or your customers’ personal data) away. It is important to be aware of who is collecting the information and how it is being used.

  What big changes are happening in 2018 ?

  New privacy regulations GDPR comes into play next May 2018 : GDPR will bring about some changes (in the right direction) by making people and businesses aware of what data privacy means, and what they should be doing to protect their customers’ privacy. With these new regulations, data privacy awareness is reaching a critical milestone this year.

  How can I protect my privacy ?

  Here are a few tips to protect your privacy :

  • Educate yourself on the importance of privacy : the more informed you are the better.
  • Use open source solutions where you can keep full control of your own data (such as NextCloud instead of Dropbox and of course Matomo instead of Google Analytics),
  • Experiment with different online services to protect your data privacy, for example using an alternative search engine (such as DuckDuckGo instead of Google) or an alternative email provider (such as ProtonMail).

  What’s coming next for Matomo and Privacy ?

  Here at Matomo, we are building the leading decentralised open web analytics platform. We’re currently working on new sets of privacy features to make compliance with GDPR a breeze. Stay tuned here to be notified when we launch the new privacy compliance tools !

• Why does my video have an audio/mp4 mime type [duplicate]

  • How do you safely identify whether an mp4 is an audio only or video file

  I have a video file but it has a mime type of "audio/mp4". Why would that happen. The user who sent it to me said it came from a Flip video camera and was uploaded by usb to her computer.

  In my program, I’m checking for ’video/mp4’ mime type when I’m trying to determine if it’s a video, but I want to eventually support audio uploads too which would need to check ’audio/mp4’.

  Unfortunately, the video is a personal video of the user’s child so I don’t want to upload it here. Let me know if there is any information I can provide about the video that would help.
