Ajouter notes et légendes aux images
7 février 2011, parPour pouvoir ajouter notes et légendes aux images, la première étape est d’installer le plugin "Légendes".
Une fois le plugin activé, vous pouvez le configurer dans l’espace de configuration afin de modifier les droits de création / modification et de suppression des notes. Par défaut seuls les administrateurs du site peuvent ajouter des notes aux images.

Configuration spécifique d’Apache
4 février 2011, parModules spécifiques
Pour la configuration d’Apache, il est conseillé d’activer certains modules non spécifiques à MediaSPIP, mais permettant d’améliorer les performances : mod_deflate et mod_headers pour compresser automatiquement via Apache les pages. Cf ce tutoriel ; mode_expires pour gérer correctement l’expiration des hits. Cf ce tutoriel ;
Il est également conseillé d’ajouter la prise en charge par apache du mime-type pour les fichiers WebM comme indiqué dans ce tutoriel.

HTML5 audio and video support
13 avril 2011, parMediaSPIP uses HTML5 video and audio tags to play multimedia files, taking advantage of the latest W3C innovations supported by modern browsers.
The MediaSPIP player used has been created specifically for MediaSPIP and can be easily adapted to fit in with a specific theme.
For older browsers the Flowplayer flash fallback is used.
MediaSPIP allows for media playback on major mobile platforms with the above (...)

Can not add tmcd stream using libavcodec to replicate behavior of ffmpeg -timecode option

How to fix av_interleaved_write_frame() broken pipe error in php
31 mars, par Adekunle AdeyeyeI have an issue using ffmpeg to stream audio and parse to google cloud speech to text in PHP.


It returns this output.
I have tried delaying some part of the script, that did not solve it.
I have also checked for similar questions. however, they are mostly in python and none of the solutions actually work for this.

MOV to ACVHD conversion via Spring Boot and FFmpeg leads to file system error
31 décembre 2024, par epicUsernameI am experiencing an issue on a personal project that seeks to convert HEIC to JPG files and MOV files to AVCHD format. The HEIC to JPG conversion works, but the MOV to AVCHD does not, which is where my problems lie.


The intent is to do this with Spring Boot and FFmpeg, using a simple interface done in WindowBuilder.


The relevant bits are the pom file :

A few caveats :


- 

-
I did explore FFmpeg and GStreamer for this project. GStreamer was inconclusive, with available version for it that were too old for use with my current state of STS4.27 and Java 17, even if this version of Java is under long-term support...


-
I've used AI to tell me about the options and suggest ways to build this thing, since multimedia handling is very far away from my skillset. I don't have a good conceptual grasp of video formats and how they transfrom from one to another.








The issue, as I have identified it, occurs at these lines :


// Ensure the destination file is writable
 if (!destinationFile.canWrite()) {
 JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Output file is not writable.", "File Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
 return;
 }



^^ And this, while temporarily commented out for testing, it meant to compensate for an issue that occurs here in the conversion function :


if ((outputFormatContext.oformat().flags() & avformat.AVFMT_NOFILE) == 0) {
 // Ensure the output path has the correct extension
 String outputPath = destinationFile.getAbsolutePath().replace("\\", "/") + ".avchd";
 System.out.println("Normalized output path: " + outputPath);

 // Try opening the output file
 int ret = avformat.avio_open(outputFormatContext.pb(), outputPath, avformat.AVIO_FLAG_WRITE);
 if (ret < 0) {
 BytePointer errorBuffer = new BytePointer(avutil.AV_ERROR_MAX_STRING_SIZE);
 avutil.av_strerror(ret, errorBuffer, errorBuffer.capacity());
 System.out.println("Failed to open output file: " + errorBuffer.getString());
 return;
 }
 }



The idea here is that the avio_open() function requires the use of the a valid file path that it can open to be able to write it.


Padadoxically, the file conversion seems to work, but the project crashes with a fatal error in the console :

If anyone has a perspective on this, it'd be appreciated.


The catch 22 in this project is that pre-creating the file is not a good idea, since avio_open has a purpose in-built method for that (I tried). Error checking everything about Java's File class in terms of setting pathways and creating and deleting files is not problematic. Likewise, permissions are all fine (Full Control in source and target folders) ; I've tested default C drive folders, which have restritions, to a separate volume and removable media, to no effect. Likewise, FFmpeg requires a forward slash, "/" in file paths, whereas Java does the backslash, generally. That's been handled with the replace method in the above conditioning, also to no effect.


The basic contradiction in the project seems to be that the error tries open a file that does not exist, with a valid source and destination file, and if I try to create a placeholder file wiht an acvhd extension at the event handling for the Convert button, it still errors out ; meanwhile, FFmpeg allegedly handles the file creation at its core, but requires a valid path to be passed ; I've tried with and without a filename, with and without an extension. I'm not able to resovle it.


The excessive error handling conditions are in an effort to isolate the problem, which I think I've done.


There also seems to be a compatibility between mpegts and acvhd, which is why I also had that format specified in the conversion function, without result.


I also have the idea to be able to do this without having to install any libraries locally or having to set path variables, which is an aspect that both GStreamer and FFmpeg have.


Nearest suggestion I've found is this : integrate ffmpeg with spring boot


AI remains hopeless for resolving this issue.
