• ffmpeg causing wrong duration on a converted .m2v video ?

  10 octobre 2022, par VILEWORX

  I've been using ffmpeg to convert .mp4 videos to an extremely specific .m2v format for a modding project using the following command :

  


  ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -profile:v high -codec:v mpeg2video -b:v 4000k -vf scale=512:480,colorspace=smpte170m,fps=60 -map 0 -map -0:a -maxrate 4000000 -bufsize 655360 output.m2v

  


  However, the start and end points of the output are not the same as my input file (29 seconds). ffprobe shows "Duration : N/A, bitrate : N/A".

  


  Strangely, the video duration is correct when loaded in Adobe After Effects, is slightly shorter in QuickTime Player, and is only 8 seconds according to Windows File Explorer (on my friend's computer). I suspect the lack of duration and bitrate displayed by ffprobe may have something to do with it, and this doesn't happen with any other format I've tried converting to.

  


  Does anyone know how to fix this ?

  Revert "avformat/format : temporarily use old next api"
  This reverts commit 909e00ae816df9b6a05b1c4d0cafb794d4d0ca28.
  There is no need to use the old API anymore as the new API now
  
  behaves in the same way (treating devices as formats when loaded).

• Different ways of embedding the Piwik tracking code for faster website performance

  18 avril 2017, par InnoCraft — Community, Development

  Many studies have shown that performance matters a lot. For each 100ms a websites takes longer to load, a business may lose about 0.1% to 1% in revenue. It also matters because Google judges page speed as a ranking factor for search results page. At InnoCraft, we help our clients optimizing their Piwik integration and recommend different ways of embedding the tracking code tailored to their needs. The best way to embed the tracking code depends on your website, what you want to achieve, and how important tracking is to you.

  This technical blog post mainly focuses on improving the time to load your website. This is an important metric as for example Google usually measures the time it took to load a page. Many businesses therefore want to get to the page load event as quickly as possible.

  The regular way of embedding the tracking code

  By default, Piwik is embedded in the header or footer of your website. This is a sensible default. While it is loaded asynchronously and deferred, it still does delay the onload event. Depending on the performance of your Piwik, how fast your website loads, how your website’s resources are embedded, and other factors you may want to consider alternatives. Three of them I will introduce below.

  Embedding the tracker after the load event

  To ensure that your website will always load even if the Piwik server is un-available, you may want to load the tracking code only after the website is loaded like this :

  var _paq = _paq || [];
  
  _paq.push(["trackPageView"]);
  
  _paq.push(["enableLinkTracking"]);
  
  
  
  function embedTrackingCode() {
  
     var u="https://your.piwik.domain/";
  
     _paq.push(["setTrackerUrl", u+"piwik.php"]);
  
     _paq.push(["setSiteId", "1"]);
  
  
  
     var d=document, g=d.createElement("script"), s=d.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; g.type="text/javascript";
  
     g.defer=true; g.async=true; g.src=u+"piwik.js"; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);    
  
  }
  
  
  
  if (window.addEventListener) { 
  
      window.addEventListener("load", embedTrackingCode, false); 
  
  } else if (window.attachEvent) { 
  
      window.attachEvent("onload",embedTrackingCode); 
  
  } else {
  
      embedTrackingCode();
  
  }

  The downside is you won’t track all of your visitors because some will have already left your website by the time your website is fully loaded. Especially when you have a JavaScript-heavy website or when your website takes longer to load in general. To detect the load event correctly cross browser, you may want to use a library like jQuery.

  Delaying the tracking

  Another technique is to load the tracking with a little delay at the end of your website like this :

  setTimeout(function () {
  
      embedTrackingCode();
  
  }, 5);

  This time the tracking script will still track most of your visitors but does not slow down loading the rest of your website as much as it would do by default (at least perceived). In some cases, you will notice a performance improvement when looking at the “time to load” but it depends on your website.

  Not loading the JavaScript Tracker at all

  With Piwik you also have the option to not embed the tracking code into your websites at all and instead generate reports from the webserver logs using Piwik Log Analytics. This works very well but some data might not be available like the device resolution which can be only captured using JavaScript. On the bright side this solution also captures users with ad blockers or tracking blockers.

  Questions ?

  We invite you to test different ways to see what makes sense for you and how it affects your website performance as well as the perceived performance. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with us.
