• How should one start with ffmpeg's API ?

  20 mai 2018, par JoeDough

  I’d like to make a real time streaming program that takes input from a webcamera, ffmpeg looks like a good library for encoding a stream of images but there is no documentation or community tutorials (there is just a doxygen API reference).Where should I start if there’s no official documentation ?

• FFmpeg 5 C api codec end of stream situation

  11 mars 2023, par Guanyuming He

  I'm new to FFmpeg api programming (I'm using version 5.1) and am learning from the documentation and official examples.

  


  In the documentation page about send/receive encoding and decoding API overview, end of stream situation is discussed briefly :

  


  


  End of stream situations. These require "flushing" (aka draining) the codec, as the codec might buffer multiple frames or packets internally for performance or out of necessity (consider B-frames). This is handled as follows :

  


  


  


  Instead of valid input, send NULL to the avcodec_send_packet() (decoding) or avcodec_send_frame() (encoding) functions. This will enter draining mode.
Call avcodec_receive_frame() (decoding)
or avcodec_receive_packet() (encoding) in a loop until AVERROR_EOF is returned. The functions will not return AVERROR(EAGAIN), unless you forgot to enter draining mode.
Before decoding can be resumed again, the codec has to be reset with avcodec_flush_buffers().

  


  


  As I understand it, when I get AVERROR_EOF, I have reached a special point where I need to drain buffered data from the codec and finally reset the codec with avcodec_flush_buffers(). Without doing it, I cannot continue decoding/encoding.

  


  Then I have some questions :

  


  

  1. If I received EOF when I already finished sending data (e.g. when after EOF is returned by av_read_frame()), how should I tell if it's really finished ?

  


  2. The data returned from the receive_... functions during draining, should I take them as valid ?

  


  


  I might have found answers to those in the official examples, but I'm not sure if the answer is universally true. I noticed that in some official examples, like in transcode_aac.c, draining is only done for the first EOF reached, and then after the second one is received, it is regarded that there are really nothing left. Any data received during draining is also written to the final output.

  


  I just wonder, Is it true for all multimedia files in ffmpeg ?

  


  I appreciate your response and time in advance. :)

  


• ffmpeg Error : Pattern type 'glob' was selected but globbing is not support ed by this libavformat build

  14 septembre 2017, par Aryan Naim

  I’m trying to convert group of ".jpg" files acting as individual frames into 1 single mpeg video ".mp4"

  Example parameters i used :

  frame duration  = 2 secs
  
  frame rate      = 30  fps
  
  encoder         = libx264 (mpeg)
  
  input pattern   = "*.jpg"
  
  output pattern  = video.mp4

  Based on ffmpeg wiki instructions at (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Create%20a%20video%20slideshow%20from%20images), I issued this command :

  ffmpeg -framerate 1/2 -pattern_type glob -i "*.jpg" -c:v libx264 -r 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p video.mp4

  But I’m getting this error :

  [image2 @ 049ab120] Pattern type 'glob' was selected but globbing is not 
  
  supported by this libavformat build *.jpg: Function not implemented

  Which probably means the API pattern matching commands for my build/version have changed. By the way this my windows 32bit ffmpeg download build (ffmpeg-20150702-git-03b2b40-win32-static).

  How can I choose a group of files using pattern matching using ffmpeg ?
