• Annual Release of External-Videos plugin – we’ve hit v1.0

  13 janvier 2017, par silvia

  This is the annual release of my external-videos wordpress plugin and with the help of Andrew Nimmolo I’m proud to annouce we’ve reached version 1.0 !

  So yes, my external-videos wordpress plugin is now roughly 7 years old, who would have thought ! During the year, I don’t get the luxury of spending time on maintaining this open source love child of mine, but at Christmas, my bad conscience catches up with me – every year ! I then spend some time going through bug reports, upgrading the plugin to the latest wordpress version, upgrading to the latest video site APIs, testing functionality and of course making a new release.

  This year has been quite special. The power of open source has kicked in and a new developer took an interest in external-videos. Andrew Nimmolo submitted patches over all of 2016. He decided to bring the external-videos plugin into the new decade with a huge update to the layout of the settings pages, general improvements, and an all-round update of all the video site APIs which included removing their overly complex SDKs and going straight for the REST APIs.

  Therefore, I’m very proud to be able to release version 1.0 today. Thanks, Andrew !

  Enjoy – and I look forward to many more contributions – have a Happy 2017 !

  NOTE : If you’re upgrading from an older version, you might need to remove and re-add your social video sites because the API details have changed a bit. Also, we noticed that there were layout issues on WordPress 4.3.7, so try and make sure your WordPress version is up to date.

• Streaming raw h264 video from Raspberry PI to server for capture and viewing [closed]

  24 juin 2024, par tbullers

  This is really an optimization question - I have been able to stream h264 from a raspberry pi 5 to a linux system and capture the streams and save them to .mp4 files.

  


  But I intend to run the video capture and sending on a battery powered Pi Zero 2 W and want to use the least amount of power to maximize battery life and still providing good video quality.

  


  I've explored many different configuration settings but am getting lost in all the options.

  


  This is what I run on the pi :

  


  rpicam-vid -t 30s --framerate 30 --hdr --inline --listen -o tcp://0.0.0.0:5000


  


  I retrieve this video from the more powerful Ubuntu server with :

  


  ffmpeg -r 30 -i tcp://ralph:5000 -vcodec copy video_out103.mp4


  


  It generally works but I receive lots of errors on the server side like this :

  


  [mp4 @ 0x5f9aab5d0800] pts has no valuee= 975.4kbits/s speed=1.19x
Last message repeated 15 times
[mp4 @ 0x5f9aab5d0800] pts has no valuee=1035.3kbits/s speed=1.19x
Last message repeated 15 times
[mp4 @ 0x5f9aab5d0800] pts has no valuee=1014.8kbits/s speed=1.18x
Last message repeated 9 times
[mp4 @ 0x5f9aab5d0800] pts has no valuee=1001.1kbits/s speed=1.17x
Last message repeated 7 times
[mp4 @ 0x5f9aab5d0800] pts has no value
Last message repeated 1 times
[out#0/mp4 @ 0x5f9aab5ad5c0] video:3546kB audio:0kB subtitle:0kB other streams:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead : 0.120360%
size= 3550kB time=00:00:27.50 bitrate=1057.5kbits/s speed=1.18x

  


  Any suggestions on how to correct these errors ?

  


  Also any suggestions on how to make the video capture side more efficient ? Should I use a different codec ? (yuv instead of h264 ?) Would using UDP decrease overhead ? Can I improve video quality with the mode or hdr options ? What does denoise do ?

  


  With all the options available with these tools I think it's unlikely that I have a well thought out approach to capture and streaming. I'm hoping that people who are more familiar with this space might be able to provide some suggestions.

  


  Thank you !

• x264 encoding taking longer when encoding static frames (than

  14 septembre 2015, par Danilo

  ​Hi,
  I’m using x264 for live video streaming and I’ve noticed that the thread
  responsible for encoding uses ​​more cpu (sometimes 50% more with 1920x1080) when the video stream is frozen (i.e. : camera is sending the same frame over an over again) or when I make it encode the same image over and over again.

  This seems somewhat counter intuitive to me, as I would expect x264 to use
  more processing power when encoding complex scenes other then static ones.

  My encoder settings are the following :

  1280x720 fps=25/1 timebase=0/0 bitdepth=8 cabac=0 ref=1 deblock=1:0:0 analyse=0x3:0x113
  
  me=hex subme=2 psy=1 psy_rd=1.00:0.00 mixed_ref=1 me_range=16 chroma_me=1 trellis=1
  
  8x8dct=0 cqm=0 deadzone=21,11 fast_pskip=1 chroma_qp_offset=0 threads=1 lookahead_threads=0
  
  sliced_threads=0 slice_max_size=1190 nr=60 decimate=1 interlaced=0 bluray_compat=0
  
  constrained_intra=0 bframes=0 weightp=0  keyint=1200 keyint_min=120 scenecut=40
  
  intra_refresh=0 rc_lookahead=0 rc=crf mbtree=0 crf=24.0 qcomp=0.60 qpmin=0 qpmax=69
  
  qpstep=4 vbv_maxrate=1024 vbv_bufsize=350 crf_max=35.0 nal_hrd=none

  I created a github gist based on the example.c encoder bundled in x264’s
  source code and tested encoding times with it. (You can find it here :
  https://gist.github.com/danilogr/ab4976ff4e0831ab274b)

  Average encoding time for the static scene is 38% bigger than for a scene
  with movements. (You can find my test case and also the output from my test
  encoder on the link above).

  ​​
  ​I’ve also noticed that by setting ​​scenecut=0, subme=0, trellis=0 and me=dia I can get rid of this problem​, but with noticeable quality​ decrease.

  ​
  ​Could anyone, please, shed some light on the reasons for this odd behavior ?
  ​Also, what can be done in order to avoid this situation without a major decrease in quality ?​
