• Continuous RTSP stream recording with ffmpeg. Can I optimize it to not damage the SD card ?

  10 juillet 2019, par Mona

  I have got an IP camera with RTSP stream. I decided to record the stream using ffmpeg (version 3.2.14-1 deb9u1) on the Odroid-N2 device with Armbian. I have created a .sh script which is launched by Croon every minute. It checks if the ffmpeg recording is active for selected camera and also deletes files older than 7 days :

  #!/bin/bash
  
  RecordPathAndFind='/home/mona/CameraRecordings/Camera1/'
  
  SegmentTime=900
  
  MinutesAfterDeleteOldFiles=10080
  
  DaysSecurityLimit=31
  
  
  
  tempoutput=$(ps aux | grep ffmpeg | grep $RecordPathAndFind)
  
  if [ ${#tempoutput} -ge 5 ];
  
  then
  
        echo "FFMPEG with record command is already running. Skipping.\n"
  
  else
  
        echo "FFMPEG with record command is not running. Starting now...\n"
  
        FFMPEGSTART=$(su - mona -c "cd /home/mona; /usr/bin/screen -dmS ffmpegcamera1 ffmpeg -rtsp_transport udp -i 'rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.xxx:554/onvif1' -vcodec copy -c:a aac -map 0 -f segment -segment_time $(echo $SegmentTime) -segment_format mp4 -strftime 1 $(echo $RecordPathAndFind)%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S.mp4")
  
  fi
  
  
  
  currenthourminutes=$(date +%M)
  
  if [ "$currenthourminutes" == "00" ]; then
  
      echo "Current Minute is 00. Checking for old files to delete.\n"
  
      FILESDELETECOMMAND=$(find $(echo $RecordPathAndFind) -maxdepth 1 -type f -mmin +$(echo $MinutesAfterDeleteOldFiles) -mtime -$(echo $DaysSecurityLimit) -name '*.mp4' -ls -exec rm {} \;)
  
  else
  
      echo "Current Minute is NOT 00. Skipping.\n"
  
  fi

  The script works fine, but I’m afraid of the life of the SD card in this device. I detected that ffmpeg is continuously writing the mp4 file (file size grows all the time). I think it would be better if ffmpeg waited for 1MiB before flushing it to disk.

  I tried different ffmpeg settings (adding "blocksize", "flush_packets", "reorder_queue_size" and few others I can’t recall now), unfortunately it didn’t change anything. The mp4 file size was increasing all the time (even by few KBs).

  The first question is : Should I be worried about the microSD card life when ffmpeg is all the time writing the file (current environment) ?

  The second question is : Are there any other ffmpeg optimization settings which I missed ?

  If my fears regarding the SD card life are correct, can you please recommend some other things which I could add to my script (or change in system) in order to increase the life of micro SD cards (or USB sticks) used for recording purposes ? I was thinking about using the ramdisk, and then manually move the files, however this could cause files loss in case of system reboot, hang, or power outage.

• lavf/qsv_scale : add scaling modes support

  lavf/qsv_scale : add scaling modes support
  low_power mode will use a fixed HW engine (SFC), thus can offload EU usage.
  
  high quality mode will take EU usage (AVS sampler).
  Performance and EU usage (Render usage) comparsion on Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 v5 @ 3.30GHz :
  High quality mode : ffmpeg -hwaccel qsv -c:v h264_qsv -i bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal_2000frames.h264 \
  
   vf scale_qsv=w=1280:h=736:mode=hq -f null -
  
  fps=389
  
  RENDER usage : 28.10 (provided by MSDK metrics_monitor)
  Low Power mode : ffmpeg -hwaccel qsv -c:v h264_qsv -i /bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal_2000frames.h264 \
  
   vf scale_qsv=w=1280:h=736:mode=low_power -f null -
  
  fps=343
  
  RENDER usage : 0.00
  Low power mode (SFC) may be disabled if not supported by
  
  MSDK/Driver/HW, and replaced by AVS mode interanlly.

• How to transcode 50 H264 Streams with FFMPEG more efficient ?

  20 juin 2019, par Kevin

  i need to (Re-)Transcode 50 Live-Streams. These streams are in H264 with 720p to 1080p and bitrates up to 10M. I just want to reduce the quality and bitrate of the streams to up to 720p with max. 2M Bitrate.

  That’s what i’m doing right now :

  ffmpeg -re -i "http://domain.tld/path/file.ext" -vcodec libx264 -preset veryfast -vf scale=-2:720 -b:v 2M -maxrate 2M -bufsize 1M -acodec libfdk_aac -f flv "rtmp://127.0.0.1:1935/live/stream_xyz"

  My Server CPU (2 x Xeon E5-2630 v3) is already at 100% with just 12 streams. I will upgrade my server to 2 x Xeon Gold 5118 next month, but i don’t think, that this will give me that much more power.

  Can someone help me, to do this more efficient ?

  Would it be more efficient / cheaper to do this with GPUs ?

  Or any other ideas, to do that as efficient and cheap as possible ?

  Thanks
