• Using ffmpeg to build a streaming server to stream static media files (broadcast behaviour)

  15 février 2018, par MiDaa

  I’ve read some online articles and SO questions, most of them are about streaming MY video to SERVER like youtube or switch.

  This is about a project of interest, here are what it should do.

  • Work on a Linux server
  • Serve media(preferably multiple format like mp4 mkv) files to client through rtp protocol maybe ?
  • Server could set a specific time to start the streaming or end it
  • Server could pause and resume the streaming(?)
  • Multiple clients connect and play the stream at same time(sounds like a basic feature)

  After some research, I found that ffmpeg is a great open-source candidate for such a project but as a newbie in this area, I’m having a tough time understanding how this whole thing work.

  As this(ffmpeg doc) states, it looks like just a one liner command. But I don’t find anything fit my feature listed above.

  Can ffmpeg be used to achieve those ? If not appriciate any suggesstion on where I should be looking at.

  EDIT :

  • Target devices : iPad,iPhone, Android phones should be able to watch the stream using a web browser(assume a modern browser)

• FFmpeg - selecting appropriate bitrate for VP9 encoding

  11 janvier 2018, par fastily

  I am looking to encode a 4k video shot with iPhone 6s in VP9 in the best quality possible.

  For reference, stream data of the video I would like to encode, via ffprobe :

  Duration: 00:00:10.48, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 46047 kb/s
  
      Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 3840x2160, 45959 kb/s, 29.98 fps, 29.97 tbr, 600 tbn, 1200 tbc (default)
  
      Metadata:
  
        creation_time   : 2017-03-13T21:12:56.000000Z
  
        handler_name    : Core Media Data Handler
  
        encoder         : H.264
  
      Stream #0:1(und): Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 44100 Hz, mono, fltp, 79 kb/s (default)
  
      Metadata:
  
        creation_time   : 2017-03-13T21:12:56.000000Z
  
        handler_name    : Core Media Data Handler

  I am using the following FFmpeg commands, based on these instructions (see Best Quality (Slowest) Recommended Settings section).

  1. ffmpeg -i INPUT.mov -c:v libvpx-vp9 -pass 1 -b:v 46000K -threads 4 -speed 4 -g 9999 -an -f webm -y /dev/null
  2. ffmpeg -I INPUT.mov -c:v libvpx-vp9 -pass 2 -b:v 46000K -threads 4 -speed 0 -g 9999 -an -f webm OUTPUT.webm

  Is there a best practice to select an optimal -b:v value such that the resulting video is visually indistinguishable from the original ? I have tried values ranging from 36000K-46000K, but these result in massive files with an overall bitrate exceeding the target bitrate.

  Thanks in advance !

• FFMPEG command from Python 3.5 does not actually create audio file

  20 décembre 2017, par Nathan Blaine

  I have a Django web application that accepts user uploaded videos/audio and saves them into a folder ’../WebAppDirectory/media/recordings’.

  I am then using a speech to text API to get a rough transcription of the audio. This is working fine for .wav and .mp4 files, but the web app also accepts videos (.MOV) that I would like to first convert to .wav, then pass off to the API.

  Using ffmpeg from my command line like this

  ffmpeg -i C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\MeetingRecorderWebAPP\media\recordings\upload_sample.MOV -ab 160k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -vn upload_sample.wav

  Correctly creates the .wav file from the original .MOV.

  However, when I run this from python with

  subprocess.check_call(command, shell=True)

  ffmpeg responds with

  File ’upload_sample.wav’ already exists. Overwrite ? [y/N]

  While Python tells me

  FileNotFoundError : [Errno 2] No such file or directory : ’C :\Users\Nathan\Desktop\MeetingRecorderWebAPP\media\recordings\upload_sample.wav’

  It is also worth noting that I do not see a ’upload_sample.wav’ file in the media/recordings/ directory.

  This leads me to believe that maybe Python and ffmpeg are looking in different folders, but I am not sure where I am going wrong. When I print the command from the subprocess.check_call and copy/paste it into cmd, the file is created as expected.

  Hoping someone with some experience with ffmpeg/Python subprocess can help shed some light ! Here are the files I am working with :
