• Batch Script to Download Video with youtube-dl and Convert with FFmpeg

  24 October 2019, by Matt McManis

  I’m trying to

  1. Using a single batch script to
  2. Download an mp4 video using youtube-dl
  3. Save the video’s original title to a batch variable
  4. Convert the video to webm with FFmpeg

  I want to keep the original title, so it needs to read the title with youtube-dl, save it to a variable, and use that variable for FFmpeg input/output filename.

  ---

  CMD Batch

  1. Download Video

  youtube-dl -f best "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWNhqCHw0qc" -o "C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%(title)s.mp4" --merge-output-format mp4

  ---

  2. Download Video using Loop

  This is used to save the title to a variable %%a.

  for /f "delims=" %%a in ('youtube-dl -f best "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWNhqCHw0qc" -o @"C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%(title)s.mp4" --merge-output-format mp4') do (echo example)

  3. Final Script
  Download Video, Save Title, Convert with FFmpeg

  Sorted

  for /f "delims=" %%a in ('
  
      youtube-dl 
  
      -f best "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWNhqCHw0qc" 
  
      -o @"C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%(title)s.mp4" 
  
      --merge-output-format mp4
  
      ')
  
  
  
  do (ffmpeg -y 
  
      -i "C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%a.mp4" 
  
      -c:v libvpx -b:v 1300K -crf 16 -pix_fmt yuv420p 
  
      -map 0:v:0? -sn 
  
      -c:a libvorbis -q:a 6 -ac 2 -map 0:a:0? 
  
      -f webm
  
      "C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%a.webm"
  
      )

  Inline

  for /f "delims=" %%a in ('youtube-dl -f best "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWNhqCHw0qc" -o @"C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%(title)s.mp4" --merge-output-format mp4') do (ffmpeg -y -i "C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%a.mp4" -c:v libvpx -b:v 1300K -crf 16 -pix_fmt yuv420p -map 0:v:0? -sn -c:a libvorbis -q:a 6 -ac 2 -map 0:a:0? -f webm "C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\%%a.webm")

  Error

  Before the script can ever reach FFmpeg, youtube-dl fails to download the file. It says the file has already been downloaded, even when there is no file in the directory.

  [download] @C#\Users\Matt\Downloads\Color Balloons.mp4 has already

• Error: No such filter: '"movie', what's the isssue?

  16 March 2019, by uno

  I am using the code to add watermarks to videos on upload for carrierwave-video:

  process encode_video: [:mp4, resolution: "640x480", watermark: {
  
      path: "app/assets/images/logo-nike.jpg",
  
      position: :bottom_right,
  
      pixels_from_edge: 10
  
    }]

  When i use this code, i get error:

  (in short)

  Stream mapping:
  
    Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (h264 (native) -> h264 (libx264))
  
    Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (aac (native) -> aac (native))
  
  Press [q] to stop, [?] for help
  
  [AVFilterGraph @ 0x55c8909bf180] No such filter: '"movie'
  
  Error reinitializing filters!
  
  Failed to inject frame into filter network: Invalid argument
  
  Error while processing the decoded data for stream #0:0
  
  Conversion failed!
  
  ):

  my ffmpeg version is 4.1.1

  Is there something missing from ffmpeg i need to install? I have looked around and found no issues with others using this code (most posts are years old though)

  I found this: No such filter: ’drawtext’

  but isn’t the same thing?

• Python: movie stream into pygame

  4 March 2019, by user1533267

  Quick challenge:

  I’m streaming part of my desktop screen trough the network using the following:

  Server

  $ ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 800x600 -r 30 -i :100 -an -q 10 -f mjpeg - | nc -lp 5000 

  Client

  $ nc <computer address="address"> 5000 | ffplay -
  
  </computer>

  I would like to display the following stream inside my pygame opengl window on the client, I read some documents on pygame.movie and found:

  "Load a new MPEG movie stream from a file or a python file object."

  Would it be possible to load the stream into pygame?
  I need it to be as responsive as possible, and right now im seeing about 500ms lag.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks.
