• H264 Encoding - Could not play video using VLC Player

  31 mars 2016, par bot1131357

  I am have trouble encoding an H264 video correctly using FFmpeg libav. I could not play the encoded video in VLC media player, and although I could play the video on MPC-HC the time shows 00:00/00:00. Clearly I’m missing something.

  The Media info from MPC-HC shows this :

  I noticed something odd in the above info :
   The frame rate is 20.833 fps, instead of the specified 10 fps.
   Duration of 2s 400ms did not seem right either, since the video played for more than 4s.

  Also, (AVFrame* picture)->pict_type is always set to AV_PICTURE_TYPE_NONE. I don’t think this is normal.

  The library that I’m using is ffmpeg-20160219-git-98a0053-win32-dev. I would really really appreciate if you could help me out of this confusion.

• squeeze image while capturing video with FFmpegFrameRecorder

  12 avril 2016, par Saty

  I am trying to stream video with FFmpegFrameRecorder using javacv. All are working great except I find videos which are actually images are bit squeeze from the height.

  I am using the below code which half of the internet community is using to live stream

• Fix min/max validation. Closes gh-666. Fixes #648

  Fix min/max validation. Closes gh-666. Fixes #648
  In 1.10.0, min/max validation was supported for input type="text",
  
  where min/max were interpreted as numbers.  This means min/max
  
  for date would not work : min="2012-02-13" was interpreted as min="Not a Number".
  In 1.11.0, min/max were no longer converted to numbers.  This means
  
  min/max for dates worked, but min/max for numbers failed :
  
  "50" < "150" < "1000" does not hold.
  For an example, see http://jsbin.com/awokex/3
  This commit makes the behaviour of min/max dependent on input type :
   * input type=text (or not type attribute) has numeric min/max, as in 1.10.0
  
   * input type=date has working min/max for type date ;
  
     on mobile browsers you also get a date picker,
  
     plus the browser may reject invalid dates before
  
     javascript gets a chance to complain.
  
   * input type=number or range get numeric min/max,
  
     plus numeric keypad or slider on mobile browsers,
  
     plus browser may reject invalid input before javascript
  
     gets a chance to complain
  Allowing use of min/max with type=number/range/date is important
  
  for mobile browsers, where the numeric keypad or date picker
  
  make the input much easier to use than a generic text input field.
  
  In this situation jquery-validate remains necessary to support
  
  older browsers that do not do input validation based on type
  
  and min/max.
  For situations where numeric input should be validated by jquery
  
  without giving the browser a chance to validate the input format,
  
  input type=text in combination with min/max can be used, as in 1.10.0.
