• swresample/resample : improve bessel function accuracy and speed

  2 novembre 2015, par Ganesh Ajjanagadde

  swresample/resample : improve bessel function accuracy and speed
  This improves accuracy for the bessel function at large arguments, and this in turn
  
  should improve the quality of the Kaiser window. It also improves the
  
  performance of the bessel function and hence build_filter by 20%.
  
  Details are given below.
  Algorithm : taken from the Boost project, who have done a detailed
  
  investigation of the accuracy of their method, as compared with e.g the
  
  GNU Scientific Library (GSL) :
  
  http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_toolkit/special/bessel/mbessel.html.
  
  Boost source code (also cited and licensed in the code) :
  
  https://searchcode.com/codesearch/view/14918379/.
  Accuracy : sample values may be obtained as follows. i0 denotes the old bessel code,
  
  i0_boost the approach here, and i0_real an arbitrary precision result (truncated) from Wolfram Alpha :
  
  type "bessel i0(6.0)" to reproduce. These are evaluation points that occur for
  
  the default kaiser_beta = 9.
  Some illustrations :
  
  bessel(8.0)
  
  i0      (8.000000) = 427.564115721804739678191254
  
  i0_boost(8.000000) = 427.564115721804796521610115
  
  i0_real (8.000000) = 427.564115721804785177396791
  bessel(6.0)
  
  i0      (6.000000) = 67.234406976477956163762428
  
  i0_boost(6.000000) = 67.234406976477970374617144
  
  i0_real (6.000000) = 67.234406976477975326188025
  Reason for accuracy : Main accuracy benefits come at larger bessel arguments, where the
  
  Taylor-Maclaurin method is not that good : 23+ iterations
  
  (at large arguments, since the series is about 0) can cause
  
  significant floating point error accumulation.
  Benchmarks : Obtained on x86-64, Haswell, GNU/Linux via a loop calling
  
  build_filter 1000 times :
  
  test : fate-swr-resample-dblp-44100-2626
  new :
  
  995894468 decicycles in build_filter(loop 1000),     256 runs,      0 skips
  
  1029719302 decicycles in build_filter(loop 1000),     512 runs,      0 skips
  
  984101131 decicycles in build_filter(loop 1000),    1024 runs,      0 skips
  old :
  
  1250020763 decicycles in build_filter(loop 1000),     256 runs,      0 skips
  
  1246353282 decicycles in build_filter(loop 1000),     512 runs,      0 skips
  
  1220017565 decicycles in build_filter(loop 1000),    1024 runs,      0 skips
  A further 5% may be squeezed by enabling -ftree-vectorize. However,
  
  this is a separate issue from this patch.

  • [DH] libswresample/resample.c

• MPlayer not playing HTTP video stream for a specific type of content from the same source

  2 août 2017, par Joel

  Implementation overview

  Before I dive into the question, I need to establish the context from the start.

  I am currently implementing a cloud gaming solution utilising the following :

  • Nvidia Capture SDK
  • Nvidia Video Codec SDK
  • FFmpeg
  • MPlayer

  The Nvidia Capture SDK is used to produce a shim layer (via DXGI.dll), intercepting and capturing DirectX frames so that they can be passed to the Nvidia Video Codec SDK to be encoded into an h264 video format. All this is done within DXGI.dll.

  I then pass the encoded video to FFmpeg. FFmpeg acts as an HTTP server that broadcasts the video stream for MPlayer to play.

  Problem

  I am running an Unreal Engine 4 game called "Epic Survival Game Series". The Nvidia Capture SDK’s shim layer kicks off when the game starts, and FFmpeg launches the HTTP server to start streaming. However, when I start MPlayer to receive the stream, MPlayer stops at the following message, and nothing happens after that.

  libavformat version 57.72.101 (internal)
Stream not seekable!
H264-ES file format detected

  The thing is, when I play the same video using ffplay, it works without any issue. This is not the only quirk. When I launch a different Unreal Engine 4 game called "First Person Shooter Template", MPlayer can play that video as well. Also, if I modify the Survival Game to load directly into the game level by skipping the menu, MPlayer is also able to play the video.

  Using FFmpeg to write the video to a file instead of streaming it to a video also works, no matter the game or whether I loaded into the menu or game level.

  This is very strange and I do not have any idea why this is the case. Any ideas ?

  Edit : One strange quirk I forgot to mention is that MPlayer does manage to play the video in very rare occasions - maybe once every 10-20 tries or so.

  Implementation Details

  Additional details of how certain parts are implemented.

  (1) For the Nvidia Capture SDK, I use the provided DXIFRShim example that is provided in the SDK

  (2) for the Nvidia Video Codec SDK, I use the provided NvEncoder example that is provided in the SDK

  (3) The FFmpeg command I use is this :
  ffmpeg -i - -listen 1 -threads 1 -vcodec copy -preset ultrafast -an -tune zerolatency -f h264 http://address:port
  The encoded frames from Nvidia Video Codec SDK is piped to FFmpeg.

  (4) The MPlayer command I use is this :
  mplayer -quiet -vo gl -nosound -benchmark http://address:port

  Things I’ve tried

  I am suspecting MPlayer to be the cause, so I’ve only played around with MPlayer parameters.
  mplayer http://address:port

  mplayer -fps 30 -vo gl -nosound -benchmark http://address:port

  mplayer -fps 30 -screenw 720 -screenh 1280 -vo gl -nosound -benchmark http://address:port

  mplayer -fps 30 -vo directx -nosound -benchmark http://address:port

  mplayer -fps 30 -vo null -nosound -benchmark http://address:port

  None of these worked.

  Hey everyone,

  Matthieu here, Founder of Matomo.

  Today is one of the most significant days of the year for the Matomo team – it’s Data Privacy Day. And so I wanted to quickly reflect on our mission and the significance of this day. 

  In today’s busy online world where data is king, this day is an important reminder of being vigilant in protecting our personal information online.

  Matomo began 12 years ago as an open-source alternative to Google Analytics – the goal was, and still is to give full control of data back to users. 

  In 2020, we are determined to see through this commitment. We will keep building a powerful and ethical web analytics platform that focuses on privacy protection, data ownership, and provides value to all Matomo users and customers.

  And what’s fantastic is to see the rise of other quality software companies offering privacy-friendly alternatives for web browsers, search engines, file sharing, email providers, all with a similar mission. And with these products now widely available, we encourage you to take back control of all your online activities and begin this new decade with a resolution to stay safe online.

  I’ll provide you with some links below the video to check out these privacy-friendly alternatives. If you have a website and want to gain valuable insights on the visitors while owning your data, join us ! 

  Matomo Analytics On-Premise is and always will be free to download and install on your own servers and on your own terms.

  Also feel free to join our active community or spread the word to your friends and network about the importance of data privacy.

  Thank you all and wishing you a great 2020 !
