• Anomalie #3271 (Nouveau) : tailles_en_octets : tenir compte des norme SI

  22 septembre 2014, par Maïeul Rouquette

  On va pas revenir sur l’historique des puissance de 2 comme unité de mesure, mais actuellement taille_en_octets fait comme si 1 ko = 1024 octets.

  Depuis la normalisation par l’iso, on distingue :
  - 1 ko = 1000 octets
  - 1kio = 1024 octets

  et de même pour les multiples au dessus. Cela n’a guère d’importance pour les petites unités, mais à partir du giga cela se fait sentir.

  Voir https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet#Multiples_normalis.C3.A9s

  Proposition pour que SPIP soit conforme aux normes ISO :
  - changer les chaînes de langues pour utiliser le kibi au lieu du kilo
  - Utiliser les multiples de 10 dans la fonction taille_en_octets, en proposant une constante pour basculer vers l’ancien mode

• Transcode HLS Segments individually using FFMPEG

  27 mai 2013, par rayh

  I am recording a continuous, live stream to a high-bitrate HLS stream. I then want to asynchronously transcode this to different formats/bitrates. I have this working, mostly, except audio artefacts are appearing between each segment (gaps and pops).

  Here is an example ffmpeg command line :

  ffmpeg -threads 1 -nostdin -loglevel verbose \
  
     -nostdin -y -i input.ts -c:a libfdk_aac \
  
     -ac 2 -b:a 64k -y -metadata -vn output.ts

  Inspecting an example sound file shows that there is a gap at the end of the audio :

  

  And the start of the file looks suspiciously attenuated (although this may not be an issue) :

  

  My suspicion is that these artefacts are happening because transcoding are occurring without the context of the stream as a whole.

  Any ideas on how to convince FFMPEG to produce audio that will fit back into a HLS stream ?

  ** UPDATE 1 **

  Here are the start/end of the original segment. As you can see, the start still appears the same, but the end is cleanly ended at 30s. I expect some degree of padding with lossy encoding, but I there is some way that HLS manages to do gapless playback (is this related to iTunes method with custom metadata ?)

  
  

  ** UPDATED 2 **

  So, I converted both the original (128k aac in MPEG2 TS) and the transcoded (64k aac in aac/adts container) to WAV and put the two side-by-side. This is the result :

  
  

  I'm not sure if this is representative of how a client will play it back, but it seems a bit odd that decoding the transcoded one introduces a gap at the start and makes the segment longer. Given they are both lossy encoding, I would have expected padding to be equally present in both (if at all).

  ** UPDATE 3 **

  According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapless_playback - Only a handful of encoders support gapless - for MP3, I've switched to lame in ffmpeg, and the problem, so far, appears to have gone.

  For AAC (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAAC), I have tried libfaac (as opposed to libfdk_aac) and it also seems to produce gapless audio. However, the quality of the latter isn't that great and I'd rather use libfdk_aac is possible.

• all pages of the same domain keep loading until background process finish [on hold]

  7 juillet 2013, par Kal

  I upload video files to mydomain_1.com and once the upload finish I store info about the uploaded file in mydomain_1 database under table process_queue.

  I have process.php under mydomain_2.com that connects to mydomain_1 database and check if process_queue table has any new entries. If there is then process.

  notice we are talking two separate domains.

  the moment process.php finds a new entry it starts converting the video using exec with ffmpeg.

  while the process is happening I cannot access any page under mydomain_1.com. all pages keep loading forever. the moment the process is done on mydomain_2.com I get access to pages on mydomain_1.com

  I thought it could be a mysql connection issue so on process.php I used mysql_close($db) immediately after every call to the database.
