• Evolution of Multimedia Fiefdoms

  1er octobre 2014, par Multimedia Mike — General

  I want to examine how multimedia fiefdoms have risen and fallen through the years.

  
  
  

  Back in the day, the multimedia fiefdoms were built around the formats put forth by competing companies : there was Microsoft/WMV, Apple/MOV, and Real/RM as the big contenders. On2 always wanted to be a player in this arena but could never quite catch a break. A few brave contenders held the line for open source and also for the power users who desired one application that could handle everything (my original motivation for wanting to get into multimedia hacking).

  The computer desktop was the battleground for internet-based media stream. Whatever happened to those days ? Actually, if memory serves, Flash-based video streaming stepped on all of them.

  Over the last 6-7 years, the battleground has expanded to cover mobile devices, where Flash’s impact has… lessened. During this time, multimedia technology pretty well standardized on a particular stack, namely, the MPEG (MP4/H.264/AAC) stack.

  The belligerents in this war tried for years to effectively penetrate new territory, namely, the living room where the television lived. This had been slowgoing for years due to various user interface and content issues, but steadily improved.

  Last April, Amazon announced their entry into the set-top box market with the Fire TV. That was when it suddenly crystallized for me that the multimedia ecosystem has radically shifted. Now, the multimedia fiefdoms revolve around access to content via streaming services.

  Off the top of my head, here are some of the fiefdoms these days (fiefdoms I have experience using) :

  • Netflix (subscription streaming)
  • Amazon (subscription, rental, and purchased streaming)
  • Hulu Plus (subscription streaming)
  • Apple (rental and purchased media)

  I checked some results on Can I Stream.It ? (which I refer to often) and found a bunch more streaming fiefdoms such as Google (both Play and YouTube, which are separate services), Sony, Xbox 360, Crackle, Redbox Instant, Vudu, Target Ticket, Epix, Sony, SnagFilms, and XFINITY StreamPix. And surely, these are probably just services available in the United States ; I know other geographical regions have their own fiefdoms.

  What happened ?

  When I got into multimedia hacking, there were all these disparate, competing ecosystems. As a consumer, I didn’t care where the media came from, I just wanted to play it. That’s what inspired me to work on open source multimedia projects. Now I realize that I have the same problem 10-15 years later : there are multiple competing ecosystems. I might subscribe to fiefdoms X and Y, but am frustrated to learn that something I’d like to watch is only available through fiefdom Z. Very few of these fiefdoms can be penetrated using open source technology.

  I’m not really sure about the point about this whole post. Multimedia technology seems really standardized these days. But that’s probably just my perspective because I have spent way too long focusing on a few areas of multimedia technology such as audio and video coding. It’s interesting that all these services probably leverage the same limited number of codecs. Their differentiation comes from the catalog of content that each is able to license for streaming. There are different problems to solve in the multimedia arena now.

• PHP : Convert file with FFMPEG and upload to S3 using shell_exec() and aws cli tools

  18 septembre 2017, par andreaem

  I need a script that handle the upload of a video file from dropzone.js, convert to m4v then generate 5 thumbnails using the name of file appending -(number) to each jpg file (eg : file-1.jpg, file-2.jpg, file-3.jpgetc) and finally upload to s3 using shell_script (or maybe if there is a better way to do this).

  Recap

  1. Upload file in a temp dir
  2. Convert file to .m4v
  3. Generate 5 thumbnails from video
  4. Upload the converted video to Amazon S3
  5. Delete local video file

  Here is my code, at the moment I don’t know where the file goes and nothing seems to be uploaded to Amazon S3 (doing the upload in command-line works, so the credentials are ok).

  Dropzone.js

  $("#dZUpload").dropzone({
  
       url: "/ajax/admin/admin.acceptVideo.php",
  
       maxFilesize: 200,
  
       renameFile: new Date,
  
       acceptedFiles: "video/*",
  
       addRemoveLinks: true,
  
       success: function (file, response) {
  
            var imgName = response;                              file.previewElement.classList.add("dz-success");
  
            console.log("Successfully uploaded :" + imgName);
  
            $('#form_video').val(file);
  
       },
  
       error: function (file, response) {file.previewElement.classList.add("dz-error");
  
       }
  
   }).autoDiscover = false;
  
      Dropzone.prototype.defaultOptions.dictRemoveFile = "Rimuovi file";
  
      Dropzone.on("addedfile", function(file) {
  
          var cancelLink = Dropzone.createElement('<a>Cancel upload</a>');
  
       file.previewElement.appendChild(cancelLink);
  
       cancelLink.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
  
       e.preventDefault();
  
       myDropzone.cancelUpload(file);
  
   });
  
  });

  PHP

  $target_dir = "/var/www/html/example.com/web/temp/";
  
  $target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
  
  $uploadOk = 1;
  
  $imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
  
  // Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
  
  if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
  
      $check = getimagesize($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"]);
  
      if($check !== false) {
  
          echo "File is a video - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
  
          $uploadOk = 1;
  
      } else {
  
          echo "File is not an image.";
  
          $uploadOk = 0;
  
      }
  
  }
  
  // Check if file already exists
  
  if (file_exists($target_file)) {
  
      echo "Sorry, file already exists.";
  
      $uploadOk = 0;
  
  }
  
  // Check file size
  
  if ($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["size"] > 200000000) {
  
      echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
  
      $uploadOk = 0;
  
  }
  
  // Allow certain file formats
  
  if($imageFileType != "mp4" && $imageFileType != "mov" && $imageFileType != "avi" && $imageFileType != "m4v" ) {
  
      echo "Sorry, only MP4 MOV AVI M4V files are allowed.";
  
      $uploadOk = 0;
  
  }
  
  // Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
  
  if ($uploadOk == 0) {
  
      echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
  
  // if everything is ok, try to upload file
  
  } else {
  
      if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
  
          S3Up(VideoConvert(basename( $_FILES["file"]["name"]),random_int('1','9999')));
  
          echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["file"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
  
      } else {
  
          echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
  
      }
  
  }
  
  
  
  function VideoConvert($video, $id) {
  
      shell_exec('ffmpeg -i ' . $video . ' /var/www/html/example.com/web/temp/' . $id . '.m4v');
  
      for ($i=0;$i <= 5;$i++) {
  
          shell_exec('ffmpeg -i ' . $video .' -vf "select=gte(n\,' . $i .'00)" -vframes 1 ' .$id . '-' . $i. '.jpg');
  
      }
  
  
  
      return '/var/www/html/example.com/web/temp/' . $id . '.m4v';
  
  }
  
  
  
  function S3Up($video) {
  
      shell_exec('aws s3 cp ' . $video .' s3://example-video/ --grants read=uri=http://acs.amazonaws.com/groups/global/AllUsers');
  
      sleep(1);
  
      //shell_exec('rm '. $video);
  
  }

  Here is my error.log line relating to s3 upload :

  error.log

  example.mp4: No such file or directory
  
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  
    File "/usr/local/bin/aws", line 19, in <module>
  
      import awscli.clidriver
  
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/awscli/clidriver.py", line 17, in <module>
  
      import botocore.session
  
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/botocore/session.py", line 26, in <module>
  
      import botocore.credentials
  
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/botocore/credentials.py", line 22, in <module>
  
      from dateutil.parser import parse
  
  ImportError: No module named dateutil.parser
  
  </module></module></module></module>

  How can I improve this ? I’ve tried using aws php api but got some problems with credentials, cli tools don’t have.

  Behavior

  At the moment dropzone.js stop uploading at 50% if I put a file of 8 MB, php maxUploadSize directive is set to 201M, php upload temp folder is inside the site root directory and permissions set to 7777. File where uploaded if I put a smallest file of 200Kb but don’t convert and make a 0 byte file.

• checkasm : updated tests for sw_scale

  13 août 2022, par Swinney, Jonathan

  checkasm : updated tests for sw_scale
  Change the reference to exactly match the C reference in swscale,
  
  instead of exactly matching the x86 SIMD implementations (which
  
  differs slightly). Test with and without SWS_ACCURATE_RND - if this
  
  flag isn't set, the output must match the C reference exactly,
  
  otherwise it is allowed to be off by 2.
  Mark a couple x86 functions as unavailable when SWS_ACCURATE_RND
  
  is set - apparently this discrepancy hasn't been noticed in other
  
  exact tests before.
  Add a test for yuv2plane1.
