• combining MP4 video files while adding text overlay with ffmpeg

  25 septembre 2014, par valnox

  Here is a shameless request for someone to give me the required FFmpeg command. I spent way too long messing around with VLC trying to do this, and after it repeatedly messed up (mainly with video length and mp4a codecs), I started looking for other options. Now I’m coming up on a deadline and don’t have the time to go through all of the FFmpeg documentation right now.

  So, if someone is willing to help me, here is what I need :

  Take 2+ videos, combine them, add two text overlays in top left and bottom right corners (white text, black outline), and change the output bitrate (from 20k to 8k). I can easily programmatically create the list.txt of file names needed.

  Researching showed me that I likely need the "concat" and "drawtext" commands. The computer is Windows 7.

  Thanks in advance to anyone even reading this, let alone responding. Sorry to come in so ignorant, but, well... three days trying to get VLC to do it :(

• What's the best way to get video metadata from a MP4 file in ASP.Net MVC using C# ?

  1er janvier 2017, par Maddhacker24

  I’ve been searching on Google and StackOverflow for a good couple of hours. There seems to be a lot of similar questions on StackOverflow but they are all about 3-5 years old.

  Is using FFMPEG still the best way these days to pull metadata from a video file in a .NET web application ? And if so, what’s the best C# wrapper out there ?

  I’ve tried MediaToolkit, MediaFile.dll without any luck. I saw ffmpeg-csharpe but that looks like it hasn’t been touched in a few years.

  I haven’t found any current data on this subject. Is the ability to pull metadata from a video built into the latest version of .NET now ?

  I’m basically looking for any direction at this point.

  I should add that whatever I use could be invoked thousands of times per hour so it will need to be efficient.

• Generating test data – Introducing the Piwik Platform

  9 octobre 2014, par Thomas Steur — Development

  This is the next post of our blog series where we introduce the capabilities of the Piwik platform (our previous post was How to create a command). This time you’ll learn how to generate test data.

  Developers are developing on their local Piwik instance which usually does not contain useful data compared to a real Piwik installation in production (only a few test visits and a few tests users and websites). The ‘VisitorGenerator’ plugin lets you generate any number of visits, websites, users, goals and more. The generator makes sure there will be data for each report so you can easily test anything.

  Getting started

  In this series of posts, we assume that you have already installed Piwik. If not, visit the Piwik Developer Zone where you’ll find the Installation guide for developers.

  Installing the VisitorGenerator plugin

  The easiest way to install the plugin is by using the Marketplace in Piwik itself. It is accessible via Settings => Marketplace => Get new functionality. There you’ll find the plugin “VisitorGenerator” which you can install and activate in one click.

  If your Piwik instance is not connected to the internet you can download the plugin from the VisitorGenerator page on the Marketplace. Afterwards you can install the plugin by going to Settings => Marketplace => Uploading a plugin and uploading the previously downloaded ZIP file.

  If you have already installed the plugin make sure it is activated by going to Settings => Plugins.

  Generating websites

  After you have installed the plugin you can add as many websites as you need. This is useful for instance when you want to test something that affects many websites such as the ‘All Websites’ dashboard or the Websites manager. To generate any number of websites use the following command :

  ./console visitorgenerator:generate-website --limit=10

  This will generate 10 websites. If you need more websites simply specify a higher limit. In case you are wondering the names and URLs of the websites are randomly generated by the Faker PHP library.

  Generating goals

  In case you want to test anything related to Goals you should execute the following command :

  ./console visitorgenerator:generate-goals --idsite=1

  This will generate a few goals for the specified site. The generated goals are defined in a way to make sure there will be conversions when generating the visits in the next step.

  Generating visits

  To generate visits there are two possibilities. Either via the Piwik UI by going to Settings => Visitor Generator or by using the command line. The UI is a bit limited in generating visits so we recommend to use the command line. There you can generate visits as follows :

  ./console visitorgenerator:generate-visits --idsite=1

  This will generate many different visits for the current day. Don’t worry if it takes a while, it will insert quite a few visits by default.

  In case you want to generate visits for multiple days in the past as well you can specify the --days option.

  ./console visitorgenerator:generate-visits --idsite=1 --days=5

  Providing your own logs

  Half of the generated visits are randomly generated and half of the visits are based on real logs to make sure there is data for each report. If you want to generate visits based on your own logs for a more realistic testing just place your log files in the plugins/VisitorGenerator/data folder and make sure the file name ends with .log. You can find a few examples in the VisitorGenerator data folder.

  To generate visits based only on real log files then use the --no-fake option.

  ./console visitorgenerator:generate-visits --idsite=1 --no-fake

  All generated visits will come from the logs and no random visits nor random fake data will be used.

  Advanced features

  We are regularly adding new commands, tools and runtime checks to make your life as a developer easier. For instance you can also generate users and annotations. In the future we want to extend the plugin to create visits in the background to make sure there will be constantly new actions in the real time report.
