• FFmpeg seeking (-ss) not working on some devices

  4 juin 2020, par ClassA

  As the title states, -ss command is not working on some devices, like the Huawei Mate 10.

  



  Here is the command I'm using and how I get the values :

  



  Format formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("00:" + "mm:ss.SS");
// Video duration
long duration = getDuration();
// Video duration devided by 6 (I want to get 5 images)
long img1 = duration / 6;
String firstThumbTime = formatter.format(img1);
// Screen dimentions devided by 7
String dimentions = width + ":" + height;

String[] a = {"-ss", firstThumbTime, "-i", mStringFilePath, "-vframes", "1", "-s", dimentions, imageThumbsDirectory + "/" + "thumb1.bmp"};


  



  The command above looks like this :

  



  -ss 00:00:00.47 -i /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.my.package/files/MyVideos/2020_02_19_16_00_20.mp4 -vframes 1 -s 154:274 /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.my.package/files/ThumbTemp/thumb1.bmp


  



  The strange thing is that it completes without an error, but the output file is unreadable.

  



  I do not have the logs currently, but I have a user that can send it to me if you need it.

  



  ---

  



  I'm 100% sure that it is caused by -ss because I use a similar command for trimming a video elsewhere in my application and when the user exports the video without setting trimming points(-ss), then the video works.

  



  Here is the 2 command I use for trimming a video :

  



  Working :

  



  String[] s = {"-i", videonInputPath, "-crf", "18", "-c:v", "libx264", "-preset", "ultrafast", videoOutputPath};


  



  Not working

  



  String[] s = {"-ss", startValue, "-i", videonInputPath, "-crf", "18", "-c:v", "libx264", "-preset", "ultrafast", videoOutputPath};


  



  ---

  



  This is the first time a user sends me this issue, so it has to be something with his device.

  



  Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

  EDIT :

  



  Log as requested by @Gyan in the comment section below (Added -v 48 to command) :

  It included several filters which I won’t ever need or use, but these filters are pulled in automatically if you don’t specify --disable-avfilter, and specifying --disable-avfilter prevents the ffmpeg binary from being produced. So I’m stuck with those.

  Using these parameters and then running make, I received a binary that was about 5.9 MB in size and looked right :

  $> ldd ffmpeg
  
          not a dynamic executable

  But when I try to run it :

  $> ./ffmpeg -version
  
  Segmentation fault

  Using valgrind to try and inspect the cause of the segmentation fault :

  $> valgrind ./ffmpeg -version
  
  .... lots of stuff ...

  Segmentation fault

  Attempting to access memory at location 0x0 sounds like trying to follow a null pointer. But I’m not sure how to fix this.

  gdb backtrace

  When I first ran gdb ./ffmpeg gdb immediately gave me a segmentation fault and I wasn’t kicked into the gdb REPL, so I couldn’t investigate

  After rebuilding ffmpeg I was able to get in this time :

  $> gdb ./ffmpeg

  I tried grep’ing the code base for __register_frame_info_bases and found nothing. So I’m not really sure where to go from here

  A fix, but not an explanation

  By randomly removing configuration parameters and rebuilding I discovered that --disable-pthreads was causing the segmentation fault. When I remove this, ffmpeg runs just fine

  I don’t know why this is the case, though. Why would they make it possible to remove something that you need to run ?

• What is data anonymization in web analytics ?

  11 février 2020, par Joselyn Khor — Analytics Tips, Privacy
  Collecting information via web analytics platforms is needed to help a website grow and improve. When doing so, it’s best to strike a balance between getting valuable insights, and keeping the trust of your users by protecting their privacy.

  This means not collecting or processing any personally identifiable information (PII). But what if your organisation requires you to collect PII ?

  That’s where data anonymization comes in.

  

  What is data anonymization ?

  Data anonymization makes identifiable information unidentifiable. This is done through data processing techniques which remove or modify PII data. So data becomes anonymous and can’t be linked to any individual.

  In the context of web analytics, data anonymization is handy because you can collect useful data while protecting the privacy of website visitors.

  Why is data anonymization important ?

  Through modern threats of identity theft, credit card fraud and the like, data anonymization is a way to protect the identity and privacy of individuals. As well as protect private and sensitive information of organisations. 

  Data anonymization lets you follow the many laws around the world which protect user privacy. These laws provide safeguards around collecting personal data or personally identifiable information (PII), so data anonymization is a good solution to ensure you’re not processing such sensitive information.

  In some cases, implementing data anonymization techniques means you can avoid having to show your users a consent screen. Which means you may not need to ask for consent in order to track data. This is a bonus as consent screens can annoy and stop people from engaging with your site.

  GDPR and data anonymization

  

  The GDPR is a law in the EU that limits the collection and processing of personal data. The aim is to give people more control over their online personal information. Which is why website owners need to follow certain rules to become GDPR compliant and protect user privacy. According to the GDPR, you can be fined up to 4% of your yearly revenue for data breaches or non-compliance. 

  In the case of web analytics, tools can be easily made compliant by following a number of steps. 

  This is why anonymizing data is a big deal.

  Anonymized data isn’t personal data according to the GDPR : 

  “The principles of data protection should therefore not apply to anonymous information, namely information which does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is not or no longer identifiable.”

  This means, you still get the best of both worlds. By anonymizing data, you’re still able to collect useful information like visitor behavioural data.

  US privacy laws and data anonymization

  In the US, there isn’t one single law that governs the protection of personal data, called personally identifiable information (PII). There are hundreds of federal and state laws that protect the personal data of US residents. As well as, industry-specific statutes related to data privacy, like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

  Website owners in the US need to know exactly what laws govern their area of business in order to follow them.

  A general guideline is to protect user privacy regardless of whether you are or aren’t allowed to collect PII. This means anonymizing identifiable information so your website users aren’t put at risk.

  Data anonymization techniques in Matomo Analytics

  If you carry these out, you won’t need to ask your website visitors for tracking consent since anonymized data is no longer considered personal data under the GDPR.

  • Anonymize previously tracked raw data – like visitors/visits
  • Anonymize Visitor IP addresses
  • Anonymize geo-location information (country, region, city)
  • Pseudonymize User ID ( if you don’t want this data to land on your Matomo server, the solution is simply to not set the User ID. Then Matomo will use the normal anonymized IDs)
  • Data can also be anonymized before it’s even sent to Matomo
  • Learn how to further configure privacy settings in a web analytics tool like Matomo
  • 11 ways Matomo Analytics helps you to protect your visitors privacy

  The techniques listed above make it easy for you when using a tool like Matomo, as they are automatically anonymized.

  Tools like Google Analytics on the other hand don’t provide some of the privacy options and leave it up to you to take on the burden of implementation without providing steps.

  Data anonymization tools

  If you’re a website owner who wants to grow your business or learn more about your website visitors, privacy-friendly tools like Matomo Analytics are a great option. By following the easy steps to be GDPR compliant, you can anonymize all data that could put your visitors at risk.
