• movenc : Allow writing a DASH sidx atom at the start of files

  21 octobre 2014, par Martin Storsjö

  movenc : Allow writing a DASH sidx atom at the start of files
  This is mapped to the faststart flag (which in this case
  
  perhaps should be called "shift and write index at the
  
  start of the file"), which for fragmented files will
  
  write a sidx index at the start.
  When segmenting DASH into files, there’s usually one sidx
  
  at the start of each segment (although it’s not clear to me
  
  whether that actually is necessary). When storing all of it
  
  in one file, the MPD doesn’t necessarily need to describe
  
  the individual segments, but the offsets of the fragments can be
  
  fetched from one large sidx atom at the start of the file. This
  
  allows creating files for the DASH ISO BMFF on-demand profile.

• libav : Store h264 frames in mp4 container

  25 janvier 2024, par ImJustACowLol

  I'm making a C++ application that retrieves frames from a camera and then encodes each frame with a H264 encoder (not using libav). This encoded H264 frame is then kept in memory as a void *mem as I need to do several things with the encoded frame.

  


  One of the things I need to do, is store the frames (so the void *mem pointers) in a .mp4 container using libavcodec/libavformat. I do NOT want to transcode each frame, I just want to store them directly into the mp4 container.

  


  Preferably for each individual frame that I push through, I get the resulting data as a return type from the function (not sure if this is possible ?). If this is not possible, then writing to a file directly is OK as well.

  


  How does one go about doing this with libav ?

  


  The only part I have got so far, and where I'm getting stuck, is this :

  


  /*
some private fields accessible in MP4Muxer:
int frameWidth_, frameHeight_, frameRate_, srcBitRate_;
*/


void MP4Muxer::muxFrame(void *mem, size_t len, int64_t timestamp, bool keyFrame) {
    const AVOutputFormat* outputFormat = av_guess_format("mp4", NULL, NULL);
    AVFormatContext* outputFormatContext = avformat_alloc_context();
    outputFormatContext->oformat = outputFormat;
    AVStream* videoStream = avformat_new_stream(outputFormatContext, NULL);

    videoStream->codecpar->codec_type = AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO;
    videoStream->codecpar->codec_id = AV_CODEC_ID_H264;
    videoStream->codecpar->width = frameWidth_;
    videoStream->codecpar->height = frameHeight_;
    videoStream->avg_frame_rate = (AVRational) {frameRate_, 1};
    videoStream->time_base = (AVRational) {1, 90000};

}


  


  How do I continue from here ? Are there any good resources I can follow ? There are some resources I found online, but all of them either write the output directly to a file, read input directly from streams/files etc. so I have a hard time translating them to my needs.

  


• Precise method of segmenting & transcoding video+audio (via ffmpeg), into an on-demand HLS stream ?

  17 novembre 2019, par Felix

  recently I’ve been messing around with FFMPEG and streams through Nodejs. My ultimate goal is to serve a transcoded video stream - from any input filetype - via HTTP, generated in real-time as it’s needed in segments.

  I’m currently attempting to handle this using HLS. I pre-generate a dummy m3u8 manifest using the known duration of the input video. It contains a bunch of URLs that point to individual constant-duration segments. Then, once the client player starts requesting the individual URLs, I use the requested path to determine which time range of video the client needs. Then I transcode the video and stream that segment back to them.

  Now for the problem : This approach mostly works, but has a small audio bug. Currently, with most test input files, my code produces a video that - while playable - seems to have a very small (< .25 second) audio skip at the start of each segment.

  I think this may be an issue with splitting using time in ffmpeg, where possibly the audio stream cannot be accurately sliced at the exact frame the video is. So far, I’ve been unable to figure out a solution to this problem.

  If anybody has any direction they can steer me - or even a prexisting library/server that solves this use-case - I appreciate the guidance. My knowledge of video encoding is fairly limited.

  I’ll include an example of my relevant current code below, so others can see where I’m stuck. You should be able to run this as a Nodejs Express server, then point any HLS player at localhost:8080/master to load the manifest and begin playback. See the transcode.get('/segment/:seg.ts' line at the end, for the relevant transcoding bit.

  'use strict';
  
  const express = require('express');
  
  const ffmpeg = require('fluent-ffmpeg');
  
  let PORT = 8080;
  
  let HOST = 'localhost';
  
  const transcode = express();
  
  
  
  
  
  /*
  
   * This file demonstrates an Express-based server, which transcodes & streams a video file.
  
   * All transcoding is handled in memory, in chunks, as needed by the player.
  
   *
  
   * It works by generating a fake manifest file for an HLS stream, at the endpoint "/m3u8".
  
   * This manifest contains links to each "segment" video clip, which browser-side HLS players will load as-needed.
  
   *
  
   * The "/segment/:seg.ts" endpoint is the request destination for each clip,
  
   * and uses FFMpeg to generate each segment on-the-fly, based off which segment is requested.
