• Using ffmpeg to convert the audio of an RTSP stream to PCM alaw and hosting an RTSP stream as the output

  24 octobre 2020, par Sirisian

  I have an RTSP stream on my network that is H264 for video and aac for audio. I need the audio converted to PCM alaw with the video just passed through.

  


  I tried :

  


  ffmpeg -rtsp_transport udp -i rtsp://10.0.0.10/main -vcodec copy -acodec pcm_alaw -rtsp_flags listen -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:8001/main


  


  The output I get is :

  It's running, but it's not listening on port 8001. I've tried both UDP and TCP, so I think I am misunderstanding what "-rtsp_flags listen" does for ffmpeg ? My goal is to start an "RTSP server" locally and allow say VLC or any other player to connect and play it. Is this something ffmpeg can do or do I need to send the stream to something else to allow VLC or other media players to connect to it locally ? (The hardware I'm running isn't terribly fast, so I'd like to do this with the least amount of operations possible).

  


  For reference if I run :

  


  ffplay -rtsp_flags listen rtsp://localhost:8001/main


  


  Then run :

  


  ffmpeg -rtsp_transport udp -i rtsp://10.0.0.10/main -vcodec copy -acodec pcm_alaw -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:8001/main


  


  It plays fine in the ffplay application. So it's like the "-rtsp_flags listen" only works with the input portion of ffplay and ffmpeg.

  


• The SSIM values calculated using FFMPEG are not what I expected

  18 mai 2020, par fd-alexer

  I'm trying to encode an m2ts (MPEG-2 Transport Stream) file to mp4 (H.264) and get the ssim value.
  
I did get some SSIM values, but the results were contrary to my expectations.

  



  Are there wrong command options for ffmpeg ?

  



  Encoding and SSIM calculation commands

  



  # encode&#xA;$ ffmpeg -hide_banner -fflags &#x2B;discardcorrupt -i input.m2ts \&#xA;  -c:v libx264 -crf <crf> -preset:v medium \&#xA;  -c:a copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc \&#xA;  output_ff_crf-<crf>.mp4&#xA;&#xA;# calculate ssim&#xA;$ ffmpeg -hide_banner -i <a> -i <b> \&#xA;  -lavfi  "[0:v]settb=AVTB,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[main];[1:v]settb=AVTB,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[ref];[main][ref]ssim" \&#xA;  -f null -&#xA;</b></a></crf></crf>

  



  The results of the SSIM

  



  (a) A=input.m2ts,          B=input.m2ts,           ssim=0.973266
(b) A=input.m2ts,          B=output_ff_crf-0.mp4,  ssim=0.813347
(c) A=input.m2ts,          B=output_ff_crf-30.mp4, ssim=0.819897
(d) A=output_ff_crf-0.mp4, B=output_ff_crf-0.mp4,  ssim=1.000000
(e) A=output_ff_crf-0.mp4, B=output_ff_crf-30.mp4, ssim=0.972911


  



  

  • (d)(e) : These are what I expected.

  


  • (a) : The files are the same, but ssim≠1.

  


  • (b)(c) : SSIMs with CRF=0 and CRF=30 have almost the same value, although the image quality is different.

  


  



  In the case of HandBrakeCLI

  



  To determine if there was a problem with input.m2ts, I ran HandBrakeCLI with almost the same parameters as ffmpeg.

  



  # encode&#xA;HandBrakeCLI --verbose --format av_mp4 --encoder x264 --quality <crf> --x264-preset medium \&#xA;  --aencoder copy \&#xA;  --input input.m2ts --output output_hb_crf-<crf>.mp4&#xA;&#xA;# calculate ssim (same as ffmpeg)&#xA;$ ffmpeg -hide_banner -i <a> -i <b> \&#xA;  -lavfi  "[0:v]settb=AVTB,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[main];[1:v]settb=AVTB,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[ref];[main][ref]ssim" \&#xA;  -f null -&#xA;</b></a></crf></crf>

  



  (b') A=input.m2ts,          B=output_hb_crf-0.mp4,  ssim=0.999999
(c') A=input.m2ts,          B=output_hb_crf-30.mp4, ssim=0.972886
(d') A=output_hb_crf-0.mp4, B=output_hb_crf-0.mp4,  ssim=1.000000
(e') A=output_hb_crf-0.mp4, B=output_hb_crf-30.mp4, ssim=0.972886


  



  It's all as I expected. (although A is not ssim=1.0) 
Therefore, I don't see a problem with input.m2ts.

• ffmpeg filter_complex concat never completes

  10 juillet 2020, par seawolf

  I am trying to concatenate mp4 files into a single file. I am attempting to use the concat filter directly for reasons independent from this question (so -i list.txt is not a valid solution). All video files in question are between 4 and 20 minutes in length.

  


  What I am executing :

  


  % ffmpeg -i f01.mp4 -i f02.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v][0:a][1:v][1:a]concat=n=2:v=1:a=1[v][a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" output.mp4


  


  This is my understanding of the form of this command from references such as FFmpeg Filters Documentation : concat and Concatenate Videos Together Using FFMPEG !.

  


  What happens :

  


  ffmpeg gives a lot of output as it checks the metadata for each stream and then begins processing. After a short duration (several seconds to a minute or so, seems to be prortional to the duration of the first video) I start seeing messages like this :

  


  More than 1000 frames duplicated
More than 10000 frames duplicated     512kB time=00:00:00.12 bitrate=32771.0kbits/s dup=33365 drop=0 speed=0.00449x
More than 100000 frames duplicated   1280kB time=00:00:00.17 bitrate=61442.1kbits/s dup=66730 drop=0 speed=0.00272x


  


  ... and then the process never completes. If I leave my computer running for 24 hours, ffmpeg is still using max available CPU (200-300%). The output file is 48 bytes in length.

  


  Note : the inputs are only a few minutes each, so individually re-encoding the inputs would take only a few minutes each.

  


  Note : if I change the command to use f01.mp4 for both source 0 and source 1, the command completes as expected in under 5 minutes :

  


  % # example that works:
% # note, however, that this just repeats the same source twice
% ffmpeg -i f01.mp4 -i f01.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v][0:a][1:v][1:a]concat=n=2:v=1:a=1[v][a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" output.mp4


  


  Full output :

  


  Here is the complete output of a run in case it's helpful :

  


  % ffmpeg -i f01.mp4 -i f02.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v][0:a][1:v][1:a]concat=n=2:v=1:a=1[v][a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" output.mp4
