• Crossdevice encoding static file to stream in browser using FFMPEG (segmented h264 ?)

  20 mars 2014, par Vprnl

  I'm building a mediacenter application in NodeJS which is going pretty ok.
  (you can check it out on Github : https://github.com/jansmolders86/mediacenterjs )

  I'm using FFMPEG to transcode local (static) movies to a stream which I then send to the browser.

  At first I used h264 with Flash which worked in browsers, but I really need it to work on Android an iOS (so no Flash) and preferably working on a Raspberry Pi.

  But getting it to play on all devices is driving me absolutely insane !

  I have all these bits of the puzzle I've gathered from countless hours reading articles, tutorials and stack overflow posts, which led me to the conclusion that I need to produce the following :

  • Use video codec H264 to transcode to MP4
  • Move the moovatom '-movflags' to make a MP4 streamable
  • Segment the stream so Apple can play the stream as well.

  But getting nowhere with this. Every time I produce a series of FFMPEG settings that either don't work, or work on some devices rather than all.

  Some of my failed attempt where :

  My flash attempt -> Main problem (not running in IOS) :

      '-y','-ss 0','-b 800k','-vcodec libx264','-acodec mp3'\ 
  
      '-ab 128','-ar 44100','-bufsize 62000', '-maxrate 620k'\
  
      metaDuration,tDuration,'-f flv

  my HLS attempt -> Main problem (not running in browser) :

          '-r 15','-b:v 128k','-c:v libx264','-x264opts level=41'\
  
          '-threads 4','-s 640x480','-map 0:v','-map 0:a:0','-c:a mp3'\
  
          '-b:a 160000','-ac 2','-f hls','-hls_time 10','-hls_list_size 6'\
  
          '-hls_wrap 18','-start_number 1'

  My MP4 attempt -> Main problem (duration is shortened and the later part of the video is speeding by)

         '-y','-ss 0','-b 800k','-vcodec libx264','-acodec mp3'\
  
         '-ab 128','-ar 44100','-bufsize 62000', '-maxrate 620k'\
  
         metaDuration,tDuration,'-f mp4','-movflags','frag_keyframe+empty_moov'

  Second MP4 attempt : -> Main problem (duration is shortened and the later part of the video is speeding by)

      '-y','-vcodec libx264','-pix_fmt yuv420p','-b 1200k','-flags +loop+mv4'\
  
      '-cmp 256','-partitions +parti4x4+parti8x8+partp4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8'\
  
      '-me_method hex','-subq 7','-trellis 1','-refs 5','-bf 3','-coder 1'\
  
      '-me_range 16','-g 150','-keyint_min 25','-sc_threshold 40'\
  
      '-i_qfactor 0.71','-acodec mp3','-qmin 10','-qdiff 4','-qmax 51'\
  
      '-ab 128k','-ar 44100','-threads 2','-f mp4','-movflags','frag_keyframe+empty_moov'])

  Lastly this is my node code fireing up FFMPEG. (I use the module Fluent-ffmpeg : https://github.com/schaermu/node-fluent-ffmpeg )

      var proc = new ffmpeg({ source: movie, nolog: true, timeout:15000})                         
  
          .addOptions(['-r 15','-b:v 128k','-c:v libx264','-x264opts level=41','-threads 4','-s 640x480','-map 0:v','-map 0:a:0','-c:a mp3','-b:a 160000','-ac 2','-f hls','-hls_time 10','-hls_list_size 6','-hls_wrap 18','-start_number 1 stream.m3u8'])
  
          .writeToStream(res, function(retcode, error){
  
              if (!error){
  
                  console.log('file has been converted succesfully',retcode .green);
  
              }else{
  
                  console.log('file conversion error',error .red);
  
              }
  
          });

  So to conclude this very long and code heavy question :

  I hope this does not come off as a lazy request, but could someone show/explain to me which FFMPEG settings could/should work on all platforms (modern browsers, Android and iOS) producing a stream of a static file which I can send to a HTML5 player.

  [EDIT] what I need if a generic option isn't available

  And if this is not possible as some posts might suggest, I would love to see a set of FFMPEG settings that get's the job done properly as far as mp4 streaming is concerned. (e.g encoding a streamable mp4).

  The streaming mp4 needs the following

  • A shifted moovAtom
  • It needs to be h264

  Thanks very much for your help !

• GPU for video encoding

  17 septembre 2013, par user2783132

  I'm going to build a server for video encoding and i'm thinking about using GPU to convert videos. Some benchmarks over the internet show fantastic results compared to cpu.

  Did somebody actually tried to use it on a production server ?
  I'm currently encoding videos with ffmpeg, but as far as I know it's not supporting gpu encoding. what program should I use than to encode with gpu ?

  Since the errors are not fatal, it is less confusing not to show them as
  
  errors but as warnings.
  Arbitrarily fixes trac ticket #2419.
