• Starting and stopping an ffmpeg pipeline in python

  25 septembre 2014, par user3147697

  I’m trying to start and stop an ffmpeg pipeline in my Python script. I can get it to start the pipeline on command, using a subprocess, but it ties up the script, so that it no longer receives commands. What do I need to change to keep this from happening ?

  I’m using :

      pipeline= "ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -video_size 640x480 -framerate 15 -input_format yuyv422 -i /dev/video7 -f alsa  -i hw:0,0 -map 0:0 -map 1:0  -b:v 120k -bufsize 120k -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast  -acodec aac -strict -2  -f flv -metadata streamName=myStream tcp://192.168.1.20:6666 "
  
  
  
      p = subprocess.Popen(pipeline, shell=True,
  
                           stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
  
      output = p.communicate()[0]

• ffmpeg takes a while to start

  17 octobre 2020, par Suspended

  I have this command in python script, in a loop :

  


  ffmpeg -i somefile.mp4 -ss 00:03:12 -t 00:00:35 piece.mp4 -loglevel error -stats


  


  It cuts out pieces of input file (-i). Input filename, as well as start time (-ss) and length of the piece I cut out (-t) varies, so it reads number of mp4 files and cuts out number of pieces from each one. During execution of the script it might be called around 100 times. My problem is that each time before it starts, there is a delay of few seconds and it adds up to significant time. How can I get it to start immediately ?

  


  The script (process_videos.py) :

• MAC's "say" command to MP3 [closed]

  13 mars 2015, par lx0741

  I want to read a very long text with the SAY mac’s command (say -f file.txt), and to record the output to file.mp3. I thought about using ffmpeg to record all of it, but then i’ll need to wait for all the reading process to complete..

  I don’t really need to listen to it, so if there is a way to directly have an mp3 file just by hitting enter, it would be great..

  There is also this project txt2mp3mac but i can’t use it in a shell script..

  Thanks..
