• How to efficiently keep a stable frame rate video stream in a PyQt application ?

  2 octobre 2024, par Jeroen De Geeter

  I am developing a PyQt (PySide6) application that needs to display and store multiple camera streams at the same time. The display of the camera streams goes well ; however, storing these streams seems to slow down the application significantly up to a point where the GUI doesn't work fluently anymore.

  


  I have a minimal working example using a stub to demonstrate how my code currently works. However, given that it is a minimal working example, it will not visibly slow down.

  


  import sys
from time import sleep

import av
import numpy as np
import pyqtgraph as pg
from PySide6.QtCore import QThread, Signal, Slot, Qt
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QHBoxLayout, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QPushButton, QGroupBox


class RGBCameraStub(QThread):

    newFrame = Signal(np.ndarray)

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.killSwitch = True

    def stop(self):
        self.killSwitch = False
        self.quit()
        self.wait()

    def run(self):
        self.killSwitch = True
        while self.killSwitch:
            self.newFrame.emit((np.random.rand(1456, 1080, 3) * 255).astype(np.uint8))
            sleep((20 + int(np.random.rand() * 30))/ 1000)


class VideoWriter(QThread):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.output_container = av.open('output_video.mkv', mode='w')
        self.stream = self.output_container.add_stream('ffv1', rate=None)
        self.stream.width = 1456
        self.stream.height = 1080
        self.stream.pix_fmt = 'yuv420p'

    @Slot(np.ndarray)
    def addFrame(self, frame: np.ndarray):
        av_frame = av.VideoFrame.from_ndarray(frame, format='rgb24')
        av_frame.pts = None # Leave emtpy for auto-handling - variable framerate?
        for packet in self.stream.encode(av_frame):
            self.output_container.mux(packet)

    def stop(self):
        self.output_container.close()
        self.quit()
        self.wait()

    def run(self):
        self.exec()


class VideoBox(QGroupBox):

    def __init__(self, title):
        super().__init__(title=title)
        self.createLayout()
        self.videoWidget.setImage((np.random.rand(1456, 1080, 3) * 255).astype(np.uint8))

    def createLayout(self):
        layout = QVBoxLayout()
        self.videoWidget = pg.RawImageWidget()
        layout.addWidget(self.videoWidget)
        self.setLayout(layout)
        self.setStyleSheet("""QGroupBox {
            border: 1px solid #494B4F;
            margin-top: 8px;
            min-width: 180px;
            min-height: 180px;
            padding: 2px 0px 0px 0px;
            }
        QGroupBox::title {
            color: #aeb0b8;
            subcontrol-origin: margin;
            subcontrol-position: top left;
            left: 20px;
            padding: 0 8px;
        }""")

    def setImage(self, data: np.ndarray):
        self.videoWidget.setImage(data)

class MainWindow(QWidget):

    closeSignal = Signal()

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setGeometry(0, 0, 900, 720)
        self.createLayout()

    def createLayout(self):
        self.vimbaImage = VideoBox("RGB")
        self.info = self.infoLayout()

        layout = QVBoxLayout()
        layout.addWidget(self.vimbaImage)
        layout.addWidget(self.info)
        self.setLayout(layout)

        self.setAttribute(Qt.WA_StyledBackground, True)
        self.setStyleSheet("MainWindow { background-color: #1e1f22; }")

    def infoLayout(self):
        widget = QWidget()
        layout = QVBoxLayout()

        rgbButtonWidget = QWidget()
        buttonLayout = QHBoxLayout()
        self.connectButton = QPushButton('Connect', parent=self)
        self.disconnectButton = QPushButton('Disconnect', parent=self)
        buttonLayout.addWidget(self.connectButton)
        buttonLayout.addWidget(self.disconnectButton)
        buttonLayout.addStretch()
        rgbButtonWidget.setLayout(buttonLayout)
        layout.addWidget(rgbButtonWidget)

        widget.setLayout(layout)
        return widget

    def closeEvent(self, event):
        self.closeSignal.emit()
        event.accept()



if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)

    rgbCamera = RGBCameraStub()
    videoWriter = VideoWriter()
    videoWriter.start()

    main_window = MainWindow()

    # Button connections
    main_window.connectButton.clicked.connect(rgbCamera.start)
    main_window.disconnectButton.clicked.connect(rgbCamera.stop)
    # main_window.disconnectButton.clicked.connect(videoWriter.stop)

    # Display frames
    rgbCamera.newFrame.connect(main_window.vimbaImage.setImage)

    # Write frame to file
    rgbCamera.newFrame.connect(videoWriter.addFrame)

    # Close application
    main_window.closeSignal.connect(rgbCamera.stop)
    main_window.closeSignal.connect(videoWriter.stop)

    main_window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())



  


  My question(s) therefore are :

  


  

  • How can I increase the performance of the VideoWriter ? I am currently adding frame by frame as soon as the camera thread provides a new frame. Maybe this is not the best approach ?

  


  • The frame rate of the camera is not completely stable, I therefore set av_frame.pts = None but maybe this is also not the approach to take ?

  


  • With code as is, the resulting media file quickly blows up in size, is there a way of dealing with this without quality loss ?

  


  


  As a side note, I currently use the PyAV wrapper for the FFmpeg library, however I am open to other suggestions.

  


• gcc "relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `ff_M24A'" error when linking statically against ffmpeg on linux

  15 juillet 2021, par YB_Evil

  I am trying to build a JNI shared library which statically links to ffmpeg.

  



  But at the linking stage, gcc fails with the following error :

  



  /usr/bin/ld: ./lib_lin64/libswscale.a(swscale.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `ff_M24A' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC


  



  I am using the following commands to compile my jni library :

  



  gcc -I $JAVA_HOME/include -I $JAVA_HOME/include/linux -I ./include -fPIC -c *.c
  
gcc -shared -Wl,--no-undefined -o libnv_avc_dec.so *.o -Wl,-Bstatic -L./lib_lin64 -lavcodec -lavutil -lswresample -lswscale -Wl,-Bdynamic -lm


  



  And I only use h264 decoding feature, so I am also building ffmpeg from source with the minimal required feature set. The ./configure command I use is :

  



  ./configure \
--enable-pic --prefix=ffmpeg-dist \
--disable-debug --enable-version3 --enable-gpl \
--disable-everything --enable-hwaccel=h264_vdpau --enable-hwaccel=h264_vaapi --enable-hwaccel=h264_qsv --enable-hwaccel=h264_mmal \
--enable-decoder=h264 --enable-decoder=h264_vdpau --enable-decoder=h264_crystalhd --enable-decoder=h264_mmal --enable-decoder=h264_qsv \
--disable-iconv --disable-securetransport --disable-xlib --disable-zlib --disable-lzma  --disable-bzlib  --disable-doc --disable-programs --disable-avformat --disable-avfilter --disable-postproc


  



  So, as I understand, the linker tells me that ffmpeg should be compiled with -fPIC flag in order to make a shared library. But I believe that I've already done so by specifying the —enable-pic configure flag. And I am pretty much stuck here because I am not very familiar with autotools, nor with ffmpeg build process in particular.

  



  If this is the issue of ffmpeg .a libs not being compiled with -fPIC flag, how can i force it ? And if this is not the case, what am i doing wrong and how can i fix this error ?

  



  Environment details : Ubuntu 14.04.3 64-bit in Virtualbox, gcc 4.8.5 and 5.3 (both give the same results), ffmpeg v.2.8.5
