• SteamVR creating loading screen flicker when recording using FFMPEG in unity

  28 octobre 2018, par Mohamed Muzammil

  I have a heatmap plugin integrated in my Unity VR game(with SteamVR). The plugin uses eye tracking information to generate live heatmaps as the user gazes at different elements in the game. As the heatmaps are generated, the whole camera view(user’s) is overlayed with heatmaps info and written to a MP4 file using FFMPEG.

  ---

  The whole process works fine. But I have an annoying problem where during the recording the user’s camera view is not stable and keeps flickering and stops only when the recording is stopped. It interrupts the smooth flow of his game
  For now, I’ve narrowed down the code which causes the trouble,

          public void Write(byte[] data)
  
      {
  
          if (_subprocess == null) return;
  
  
  
          _stdin.Write(data);
  
          _stdin.Flush();
  
      }

  From my understanding, It is in this part of the code stdinput is invoked to write to the file system. So, I surmise that the problem must be with accessing the file system which in turn must have caused some time delay when each frame is written in the update method. Correct me if i am wrong here.
  

  The loading screen which appears during every frame write looks something like above. It interrupts the smooth flow of the game and also makes the recording useless as the user keeps focusing on the flicker rather than the actual objects of interest. I would really be grateful if someone shows light on the issue here ?

• Capture with no dropped frames ?

  21 juillet 2020, par ENunn

  Capping some video through my capture card and I'm getting dropped frames. Is there anything I can do to avoid getting any ?

  


  

  


  Script :

  


  ffmpeg -f dshow -rtbufsize 2145M -framerate 59.94 -threads 4 -i video="Game Capture HD60 S (Video) (#01)":audio="Game Capture HD60 S (Audio) (#01)" -r 59.94 -vsync 2 -pix_fmt yuv422p -c:v mpeg2video -q:v 0 -b:v 200M -minrate 60M -maxrate 200M -c:a pcm_s16le -f segment -segment_time 9999999999 -strftime 1 "output\%%Y-%%m-%%d_%%H-%%M-%%S.mkv"

  


• Releasing GME Players and Tools

  22 mai 2012, par Multimedia Mike — General, alsa, github, gme, pulseaudio, Python, sdl

  I just can’t stop living in the past. To that end, I’ve been playing around with the Game Music Emu (GME) library again. This is a software library that plays an impressive variety of special music files extracted from old video games.

  I have just posted a series of GME tools and associated utilities up on Github.

  Clone the repo and try them out. The repo includes a small test corpus since one of the most tedious parts about playing these files tends to be tracking them down in the first place.

  Players
  At first, I started with trying to write some simple command line audio output programs based on GME. GME has to be the simplest software library that it has ever been my pleasure to code against. All it took was a quick read through the gme.h header file and it was immediately obvious how to write a simple program.

  First, I wrote a command line tool that output audio through PulseAudio on Linux. Then I made a second program that used ALSA. Guess what I learned through this exercise ? PulseAudio is actually far easier to program than ALSA.

  I also created an SDL player, seen in my last post regarding how to write an oscilloscope. I think I have the A/V sync correct now. It’s a little more fun to use than the command line tools. It also works on non-Linux platforms (tested at least on Mac OS X).

  Utilities
  I also wrote some utilities. I’m interested in exporting metadata from these rather opaque game music files in order to make them a bit more accessible. To that end, I wrote gme2json, a program that uses the GME library to fetch data from a game music file and then print it out in JSON format. This makes it trivial to extract the data from a large corpus of game music files and work with it in many higher level languages.

  Finally, I wrote a few utilities that repack certain ad-hoc community-supported game music archives into... well, an ad-hoc game music archive of my own device. Perhaps it’s a bit NIH syndrome, but I don’t think certain of these ad-hoc community formats were very well thought-out, or perhaps made sense a decade or more ago. I guess I’m trying to bring a bit of innovation to this archival process.

  Endgame
  I haven’t given up on that SaltyGME idea (playing these game music files directly in a Google Chrome web browser via Google Chrome). All of this ancillary work is leading up to that goal.

  Silly ? Perhaps. But I still think it would be really neat to be able to easily browse and play these songs, and make them accessible to a broader audience.
