• Continuous RTMP Streaming with FFmpeg Without Restarting the Process for New Videos

  3 avril 2024, par 刘小佳

  I'm facing a challenge with my workflow and would appreciate any guidance or solutions you might have. My business scenario involves a service that periodically generates new video files locally (e.g., 1.mp4, 2.mp4, ...). These files are then streamed to an RTMP server using FFmpeg, and clients pull the stream via HTTP-FLV for playback.

  


  My goal is to ensure continuous streaming between video files without restarting the FFmpeg process each time a new video is ready to be streamed. Restarting FFmpeg for each new file introduces a disconnect in the client playback, which I'm trying to avoid to maintain stream continuity.

  


  I've explored several approaches based on the FFmpeg Concatenate wiki (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Concatenate), but haven't achieved the desired outcome :
  
Approach 1 :
  
Using a list.txt file with ffconcat version 1.0 and dynamically updating the file (next.mp4) being played :

  


  ffconcat version 1.0
file next.mp4
file next.mp4


  


  And then streaming with :
ffmpeg -re -stream_loop -1 -f concat -i list.txt -flush_packets 0 -f flv rtmp://xxx
  
However, when attempting to replace next.mp4 (e.g., moving 2.mp4 to next.mp4 during the streaming of 1.mp4), I encountered a "device busy" error.
  
Approach 2 :
  
Using a nested list approach where list1.txt includes 1.mp4 and list2.txt, and vice versa :

  


  // list1.txt
ffconcat version 1.0
file '1.mp4'
file 'list2.txt'
// list2.txt
ffconcat version 1.0
file '2.mp4'
file 'list1.txt'


  


  Streaming with : ffmpeg -re -stream_loop -1 -f concat -i list1.txt -flush_packets 0 -f flv rtmp://xxx
  
In this setup, I tried modifying list1.txt to replace 1.mp4 with 3.mp4 during the streaming of 2.mp4, but FFmpeg would loop back to 1.mp4 and 2.mp4 before streaming 3.mp4 in the next cycle.

  


  Am I missing something in my methods ? Does anyone have a better approach to fulfill this requirement ? Any help would be greatly appreciated !

  


• Adding HEVC reference decoder to ffmpeg framework

  4 mars 2014, par Zax

  I have a tweaked HM reference code of HEVC Decoder based on my requirements. I also know that FFMPEG version 2.1 onwards supports HEVC. But its a necessity for me to integrate my modified HM code.

  Hence I have gone through the post :

  http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=FFmpeg_codec_howto

  According to this post, I need to define some functions that are needed to add a new decoder support to FFMPEG framework.

  The structure is : typedef struct AVCodec

  I have defined a structure as shown below :

  AVCodec HMHEVC_decoder =
  
  {
  
      .name           = "hmhevc",
  
      .type           = AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO,
  
      .id             = AV_CODEC_ID_HMHEVC,
  
  
  
      .init           = hmhevc_decode_init,
  
      .close          = hmhevc_decode_close,
  
      .decode         = hmhevc_decode_frame,
  
  };

  However, looking at the other examples, I feel I have to add another variable like :

      .priv_data_size = sizeof(HEVCContext),

  But the problem is that I don't have any such context. So in case I don't define this, what are the things that FFMPEG framework wont provide my decoder ?

  Also is definition of this private data context compulsary ?

  What are the other fields that have to be compulsorily defined ?

  My main intention is that FFPLAY should be able to play the decoded frame.

• Input seeking for frame at specified timestamp with Py-AV

  9 décembre 2019, par neonScarecrow

  I have a project already using Py-AV and am trying to replicate a specific ffmpeg command. The goal is to get a frame roughly around the specified timestamp.

  Here’s the ffmpeg commmand :
  https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Seeking

  ffmpeg -ss 14 -i https://some_url.mp4 -frames:v 1 frame_at_14_seconds.jpg

  Here’s my code :

      #return one frame around 14 seconds into the movie
  
      target_sec = 14 
  
      container = av.open('https://some_url.mp4', 'r')
  
      container.streams.video[0].thread_type = 'AUTO'
  
      video_stream = next(s for s in container.streams if s.type == 'video')
  
      time_base = float(video_stream.time_base)
  
      target_timestamp = int(target_sec / time_base) + video_stream.start_time
  
      video_stream.seek(target_timestamp)
  
      for frame in container.decode(video_stream):
  
          frame.to_image().save('frame_at_14_seconds.jpg')
  
          break

  Additionally, I have found any documentation about this, but does anyone know if either command (ffmpeg/av.open) is downloading the entire file to a tmp file behind the scenes. I’m looking for a less memory-intensive way to read a frame for every second in an up to 60 second video.
