• Flash player seek not working when ffmpeg encoded with gop(-g) = 1 [migrated]

  3 mars 2015, par Brian

  I am trying to deliver video content with frame-by-frame viewing via the SMP Flash player. For encoding, I am using FFMPEG with the x264 video codec for files with .mp4 containers. I am using the latest ffmpeg build and using the OSMF SMP flash video player.

  I am taking a series of png files and creating a .mp4 file :

  ffmpeg -nostdin -loglevel warning  -i out.%d.png -g 1 -crf 15 -c:v libx264 -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -r 24 out.mp4

  By encoding with the gop(-g) flag = 1, I am encoding to make each frame a keyframe. When I seek using the scrub bar of the SMP flash player, it always seeks to the start of the video. If I play and scrub/seek the video using the default HTML player, it works perfectly.

  When I encode with the gop(-g) flag = 2, the SMP Flash player scrubs/seeks and plays correctly.

  It looks like there may be some kind of bug or incompatibility with the Flash player. I have found this problem mentioned back in 2009. I think my only hope is to find a work around. Any suggestions ?

• Problems accessing codecs with ggplot and gganimate

  19 décembre 2016, par noLongerRandom

  Using gganimate. Can’t figure out how to properly access functionality of ffmpeg, specifically I want to change the codec I’m using in the video file I’m outputting.

  # load packages
  
  library(ggplot)
  
  library(animation)
  
  library(gganimate)
  
  
  
  # Here's my data.frame
  
  myDf <- data.frame(
  
      year = c(1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014), 
  
      bottom50 = c(0.195, 0.191, 0.187, 0.192, 0.196, 0.205, 0.207, 0.210, 0.209, 0.204, 0.203, 0.204, 0.205, 0.203, 0.202, 0.200, 0.200, 0.201, 0.199, 0.195, 0.190, 0.183, 0.179, 0.179, 0.177, 0.172, 0.169, 0.169, 0.168, 0.166, 0.158, 0.159, 0.158, 0.154, 0.151, 0.148, 0.149, 0.148, 0.146, 0.149, 0.148, 0.145, 0.142, 0.138, 0.135, 0.137, 0.137, 0.136, 0.130, 0.127, 0.123, 0.127, 0.125), top1 = c(0.126, 0.127, 0.129, 0.128, 0.126, 0.123, 0.122, 0.115, 0.110, 0.111, 0.111, 0.109, 0.106, 0.105, 0.105, 0.107, 0.108, 0.111, 0.107, 0.110, 0.112, 0.115, 0.125, 0.125, 0.122, 0.133, 0.149, 0.145, 0.145, 0.139, 0.150, 0.146, 0.147, 0.153, 0.160, 0.166, 0.169, 0.177, 0.183, 0.173, 0.171, 0.172, 0.183, 0.194, 0.201, 0.199, 0.195, 0.185, 0.198, 0.196, 0.208, 0.196, 0.202)
  
  )
  
  
  
  #Basic plot
  
  p <- ggplot(myDf, aes(x = year, y = bottom50, frame = year)) + 
  
      geom_line(color = "dodgerblue") + 
  
      geom_line(aes(y = top1), color = "darkred")

  The non-animated version gets me what I want :

  

  And I get an animation version output to video with :

  gganimate(p, interval = .1, title_frame = FALSE, "income.mp4")

  That’s fine, but I want to change some the output parameters, specifically : alter the dimensions, the frame rate, and use a different codec.

  # change some of the options
  
  ani.options(ani.height = 1080, ani.width = 1920, 
  
              interval = 0.04166667, other.opts = "-vcodec qtrle -f mov")
  
  # re-animate
  
  gganimate(p, title_frame = FALSE, "income.mov")

  That gives me the following error :

  Error in animation_saver(saver, filename) : 
  
    Don't know how to save animation of type mov

  I’m using ’.mov’ as my file extension because I’m trying to change to the Animation codec (so it’s no longer a .mp4 wrapper). I’ve got ffmpeg installed, so this is probably a syntax issue. But the documentation isn’t very clear here ; gganimate doesn’t have any documentation on changing codecs (or outputting any video besides an mp4), and the animation package is light on specifics as well.

• French CNIL recommends Piwik : the only analytics tool that does not require Cookie Consent

  29 octobre 2014, par Matthieu Aubry — Press Releases

  There has been recent and important changes in France regarding data privacy and the use of cookies. This blog post will introduce you to these changes and explain how you make your website compliant.

  Cookie Consent in the data freedom law

  Since the adoption of the EU Directive 2009/136/EC “Telecom Package”, Internet users must be informed and provide their prior consent to the storage of cookies on their computer. The use of cookies for advertising, analytics and social share buttons require the user’s consent :

  It is necessary to inform users of the presence, purpose and duration of the cookies placed in their browsers, and the means at their disposal to oppose it.

  What is a cookie ?

  Cookies are tracers placed on Internet users’ hard drives by the web hosts of the visited website. They allow the website to identify a single user across multiple visits with a unique identifier. Cookies may be used for various purposes : building up a shopping cart, storing a website’s language settings, or targeting advertising by monitoring the user’s web-browsing.

  Which cookies are exempt from the Cookie Consent rule ?

  France has exempted certain cookies from the cookie consent rule : for those cookies that are strictly necessary to offer the service sought after by the user you do not need to ask consent to user. Examples of such cookies are :

  • the shopping cart cookie,
  • authentication cookies,
  • short lived session cookies,
  • load balancer cookies,
  • certain first party analytics (such as Piwik cookies),
  • persistent cookies for interface personalisation.

  Asking users for consent for Analytics (tracking) Cookies

  For all cookies that are not exempted from the Cookie Consent then you will need to :

  • obtain consent from web users before placing or reading cookies and similar technologies,
  • clearly inform web users of the different purposes for which the cookies and similar technologies will be used,
  • propose a real choice to web users between accepting or refusing cookies and similar technologies.

  You don’t need Cookie Consent with Piwik

  The excellent news is that there is a way to bypass the Cookie Consent banner on your website :

  If you are using another analytics solution other than Piwik then you will need to ask users for consent. If you do not want to ask for consent then download and install Piwik or signup to Piwik Cloud to get started.

  If you are already using Piwik you need to do two simple things : (1) anonymise visitor IP addresses (at least two bytes) and (2) include the opt-out iframe solution in your website (learn more).

  Note that these recommendations currently only apply in France, but because the law is European we can expect similar findings in other European countries.

  CNIL recommends Piwik

  We are proud that the CNIL has identified Piwik as the only tool that respects all privacy requirements set by the European Telecom law.
