• ffmpeg non-continuous live streaming

  2 août 2022, par xrfang

  I have an IP camera which is normally power off, and is triggered by Infra-Red signal. I plan to use ffmpeg to pull RTSP stream from it, and convert to HLS video segments.

  


  My question is, can ffmpeg work continuously and output blank MPEGTS chunks while it is not able to connect to the camera, i.e. works 7x24, waiting for video data, instead of crash/exit if it cannot connect to the camera.

  


• Internecine Legal Threats

  1er juin 2011, par Multimedia Mike — Legal/Ethical

  FFmpeg and associated open source multimedia projects such as xine, MPlayer, and VLC have long had a rebel mystique about them ; a bunch of hackers playing fast and loose with IP law in order to give the world the free multimedia experience it deserved. We figured out the algorithms using any tools available, including the feared technique of binary reverse engineering. When I gave a presentation about FFmpeg at Linuxtag in 2007, I created this image illustrating said mystique :

  
  
  

  It garnered laughs. But I made the point that we multimedia hackers just press on, doing our thing while ignoring legal threats. The policy has historically worked out famously for us– to date, I seem to be the only person on the receiving end of a sort-of legal threat from the outside world.

  Who would have thought that the most credible legal threat to an open source multimedia project would emanate from a fork of that very project ? Because that’s exactly what has transpired :

  So it came to pass that Michael Niedermayer — the leader of the FFmpeg project — received a bona fide legal nastygram from Mans Rullgard, a representative of the FFmpeg-forked Libav project. The subject of dispute is a scorched-earth matter involving the somewhat iconic FFmpeg zigzag logo :

  To think of all those years we spent worrying about legal threats from organizations outside the community. I’m reminded of that time-honored horror trope/urban legend staple : Get out ! The legal threats are coming from inside the house !

  I’m interested to see how this all plays out, particularly regarding jurisdiction, as we have a U.K. resident engaging an Italian lawyer outfit to deliver a legal threat to an Austrian citizen regarding an image hosted on a server in Hungary. I suspect I know why that law firm was chosen, but it’s still a curious jurisdictional setup.

  People often used to ask me if we multimedia hackers would get sued to death for doing what we do. My response was always, “There’s only one way to know for sure,” by which I meant that we would just have to engage in said shady activities and determine empirically if lawsuits resulted. So I’m a strong advocate for experimentation to push the limits. Kudos to Michael and Mans for volunteering to push the legal limits.

• Any updated http segmenter for IPad / iPhone video streaming with latest ffmpeg ?

  5 février 2012, par ipegasus

  I would like to know if there are any http file segmenters with support for the latest ffmpeg libraries ?

  So far I have found some projects, although I haven't been able to compile them using ffmpeg 0.9

  1. http://svn.assembla.com/svn/legend/segmenter/
  2. http://www.ioncannon.net/programming/452/iphone-http-streaming-with-ffmpeg-and-an-open-source-segmenter/

  Thanks !
