• What causes Firefox to refuse playing one specific MP4 that plays well on other browsers, resolution being the only difference ?

  3 décembre 2014, par Faro

  I’m a developer for a PHP powered website that allows the upload of videos which get converted to MP4 using ffmpeg. This setup worked pretty well so far, however today I came across a report of a user that couldn’t play one of the files in Firefox.

  I was unable to replicate the issue on my own machine at first, but using a fresh install of Windows 7 I actually got the same issue : The file will not play in Firefox, but works fine in Chrome. If called up directly, Firefox will say "Video can’t be played because the file is corrupt".
  When downloaded, Windows will also not create a thumbnail of the video for the file and WMP will only play the audio part.

  On my own machine the file works perfectly in WMP which made me wonder if it could be a codec issue (I do have the K-Lite Codec Pack installed), however I’ve compared the file to a working one and the only difference is the resolution, filesize and the format profile which is "High@L3.1" for a working file with a 720p resolution and "High@L4.0" for the non-working one (which is 1600x1200).

  I then read through the Wikipedia article on H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and began to wonder if the level might be the issue, and the tool I used (XMedia Recode) actually did not allow me to set a height bigger than 1080 on Level 4, however when I set the level to 5 and encoded the file again, it still wouldn’t play.

  I did find a note on the MDN page of supported formats which reads :

  Firefox/Firefox for Android/Firefox OS supports the format in some cases, but only when a third-party decoder is available, and the device hardware can handle the profile used to encode the MP4.

  I’m assuming that is why the codec pack would allow Firefox to play even the ’broken’ file on my machine, I still don’t understand though why Firefox does play some files but not this one, especially when Chrome on the same machine plays all of them.

  The line in PHP that starts the conversion is as follows :

  exec("/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg '-i' '" . $file_in . "' '-qscale' '4' '-y' '-threads' '1' '-acodec' 'libvo_aacenc' '-vcodec' 'h264' '" . $file_out . "' 2>&1", $buffer, $success);

  This should produce correct files, and this is indeed the first time a file has issues.

  MediaInfo provides this data for the file stream :

  I’ve uploaded a zip with 3 versions of the file, the untouched one, the converted one with the same settings the website would use, and another converted one with level 5.

  Maybe I’m missing something obvious, but I couldn’t find anything wrong with it, what do I need to change in order to produce a file that will work natively in Firefox ?

  Also, this is my first question on SO, so if you see anything that I can improve, please let me know :-)

• Video recoding with ffmpeg

  8 novembre 2011, par Aleks G

  I asked in another question (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8012494/sorry-this-video-cannot-be-played-streaming-mp4-to-android/8012874#8012874) about video playback in android using VideoView. Apparently, the problem there is due to the way my video is encoded, as another video (512Kb mp4 off the web) plays correctly using my code. As videos are uploaded by my end users to the web site, I don't have any control of the videos themselves, however I do have control over re-coding these. I re-code them using ffmpeg to bring them to a standard MP4 (H.264+AAC) format and scale them to the same size (320x240).

  Here's the ffmpeg info of a video that would not play :

  I have two questions here, actually. First, which of the details in my "bad" video does android not like ? And, second, what parameters should I use with ffmpeg to recode my videos ? As present I use this :

  ffmpeg -i $input_video_file -y -s 320x240 -vcodec libx264 -vpre medium -acodec libfaac -b 510K -ar 48000 -aspect 4:3 $tmpfile.mp4
  
  qt-faststart $tmpfile.mp4 $output_video_file.mp4

  But this produces a video that's not playable on android. Any help is greatly appreciated.

• C run linux shell command(fmpeg) 10x slower than typing directly in terminal

  14 novembre 2014, par dadylonglegs

  CLOSED

  I’m writing an application that execute a linux shell command (ffmpeg) from my C code. Such as :

  char command[2000];
  
  sprintf(command, "ffmpeg -i %s/%s -r 1 -vf scale=-1:120 -vframes 1 -ss  00:00:00 %s.gif", publicFolder, mediaFile, mediaFile);
  
  system(command);

  To extract video thumbnail from a specific video. But the strange that it is too much slower when executing shell command form C compare to typing directly to the terminal. I have no idea about this.
  Can anybody help me pls ?. Thanks in advance.
