• Serving static video content directly vs. via adaptive streaming protocols (HLS, DASH)

  7 mai 2020, par astralmaster

  Is there an advantage of serving static video content (not a live stream) via adaptive streaming protocols such as HLS or DASH over serving them directly as files using HTTP server in terms of speed ?

  



  Example case is when you have a 500MB mp4 h264+AAC video that you have to serve on a website via HTML5 video element. Would you rather serve it directly, since most popular browsers implement functions such as seek without downloading the whole file first ; or would you rather use ffmpeg or similar solution to create HLS chunks from the mp4 file and instead provide .m3u8 playlist source to the HTML5 video element. Is there a real advantage in terms of speed of doing this ?

  



  Which one would you implement if you had hundreds of video files all served as static content ?

  


• Dash.js not playing mpd files made with ffmpeg

  31 décembre 2022, par Macster

  I'm using ffmpeg to create chunks and manifest of a webm file which I want to live stream with Dash.js. Unfortunately Dash.js won't play the mpd file, no matter which way I create the chunks and manifest. However, the sample mpd URL from Dash.js is working.

  UPDATE

  


  Well, it seems like the problem in general was, that the mpd's wouldn't play from that /dash folder. So i took a look into the code and found a bad routing. Anyways, the mpd would't start with the given command I used, probably becasue it creates a dynamic manifest, like @Markus Schumann says. So I'm going with a new one which seems to be working for now, but not very well.

• MPEG-DASH - Multiplexed Representations Issue

  26 avril 2017, par Mike

  I’m trying to learn ffmpeg, MP4Box, and MPEG-DASH, but I’m running into an issue with the .mp4 I’m using. I’m using ffmpeg to demux the mp4 with this command :

  ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -c:v copy -g 72 -an video.mp4 -c:a copy audio.mp4

  Once the two files are created, I use MP4Box to segment the files for the dash player using this command :

  MP4Box -dash 4000 -frag 1000 -rap -segment-name segment_ output.mp4

  Which does create all the files I think I need. Then I point the player to the output_dash.mpd and nothing happens except a ton of messages in the console :

  I know I need to separate the video and audio and I think that’s where my issue is. The command I’m using probably isn’t doing the right thing.

  Is there a better command to demux my mp4 ?
  Is the MP4Box command I’m using best for segmenting the files ?
  If I use different files, will they always need to be demuxed ?

  One thing to mention, if I use the following commands everything works fine, but there is no audio because of the -an which means it’s only video :

  ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -c:v copy -g 72 -an output.mp4
  
  
  
  MP4Box -dash 4000 -frag 1000 -rap -segment-name segment_ output.mp4

  UPDATE

  I noticed that the video had no audio stream, but the audio had the video stream which is why I got the mux error. I thought that might be an issue so I ran this command to keep the unwanted streams out of the outputs :

  ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -c:v copy -g 72 -an video.mp4 -c:a copy -vn audio.mp4

  then I run :

  MP4Box -dash 4000 -frag 1000 -rap -segment-name segment_ video.mp4 audio.mp4

  now I no longer get the Multiplexed representations are intentionally not supported... message, but now I get :

  [122] Video Element Error: MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED 
  
  [123] [object MediaError] 
  
  [125] Schedule controller stopping for audio 
  
  [126] Caught pending play exception - continuing (NotSupportedError: Failed to load because no supported source was found.)

  I tried playing the video and audio independently through Chrome and they both work, just not through the dash player. Ugh, this is painful to learn, but I feel like I’m making progress.
