• suitable video encoding for browsers

  26 juin 2022, par seriously

  I was researching how illegal movie streaming services handle all the traffic they get and to understand that I had to follow the steps they perform to get the video data to the users. I got to the stage of video transmission and noticed something that boggled me. Most of the illegal movie streaming sites get their movies/tv-shows through piracy/torrents and even most of the streamers are sister companies of the piracy websites. Now when I took a look at the video encodings of the torrent movies and shows they are h.265 but h.265 is not supported by popular browsers like chrome, firefox edge... Does this mean they (the streamers) have to re-encode every h.265 videos to avc/h.264 before they stream it ? If that's the case, that takes them a huge amount of time to convert their whole movie catalog to h.264 not to mention the space they require to save them. Am I taking a look at this the right way ? Do they really convert and store 2, 3 ... differently encoded video files and stream the suitable one ? Or can they somehow convert the chunks of data they are streaming to h.264 live simultaneously without having to store the h.264 formats hence saving conversion time and space ?

  


• How to convert a Stream on the fly with FFMpegCore ?

  18 octobre 2023, par Adrian

  For a school project, I need to stream videos that I get from torrents while they are downloading on the server.
When the video is a .mp4 file, there's no problem, but I must also be able to stream .mkv files, and for that I need to convert them into .mp4 before sending them to the client, and I can't find a way to convert my Stream that I get from MonoTorrents with FFMpegCore into a Stream that I can send to my client.

  


  Here is the code I wrote to simply download and stream my torrent :

  


  var cEngine = new ClientEngine();

var manager = await cEngine.AddStreamingAsync(GenerateMagnet(torrent), ) ?? throw new Exception("An error occurred while creating the torrent manager");

await manager.StartAsync();
await manager.WaitForMetadataAsync();

var videoFile = manager.Files.OrderByDescending(f => f.Length).FirstOrDefault();
if (videoFile == null)
    return Results.NotFound();

var stream = await manager.StreamProvider!.CreateStreamAsync(videoFile, true);
return Results.File(stream, contentType: "video/mp4", fileDownloadName: manager.Name, enableRangeProcessing: true);


  


  I saw that the most common way to convert videos is by using ffmpeg. .NET has a package called FFMpefCore that is a wrapper for ffmpeg.

  


  To my previous code, I would add right before the return :

  


  if (!videoFile.Path.EndsWith(".mp4"))
{
    var outputStream = new MemoryStream();
    FFMpegArguments
        .FromPipeInput(new StreamPipeSource(stream), options =>
        {
            options.ForceFormat("mp4");
        })
        .OutputToPipe(new StreamPipeSink(outputStream))
        .ProcessAsynchronously();
    return Results.File(outputStream, contentType: "video/mp4", fileDownloadName: manager.Name, enableRangeProcessing: true);
}


  


  I unfortunately can't get a "live" Stream to send to my client.
