• ffmpeg output with label 'v' does not exist in any defined filtler graph

  15 April 2024, by David Royale

  Been trying to make this Python code work but it fails up until rendering the final part:

  


  import subprocess
import re
import os

def detect_idle_sections(video_path):
    command = ['ffmpeg', '-i', video_path, '-vf', 'select=\'gt(scene,0.1)\'', '-vsync', 'vfr', '-f', 'null', '-']
    output = subprocess.check_output(command, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT).decode('utf-8')
    
    idle_sections = []
    duration = 0.0
    for line in output.split('\n'):
        match = re.search(r'scene:(\d+)', line)
        if match:
            scene = int(match.group(1))
            if scene == 0:
                duration += 1.0 / 30  # Assuming 30 fps
            else:
                if duration > 0:
                    idle_sections.append((duration, duration - (1.0 / 30)))  # Duration and start time
                    duration = 0.0
    
    return idle_sections

def cut_idle_sections(video_path, idle_sections, output_path, total_duration):
    print("starting to cut things")
    filters = []
    start_time = 0.0
    for duration, _ in idle_sections:
        filters.append(f'[0:v]trim=start={start_time}:end={start_time + duration},setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[v{len(filters)}]')
        start_time += duration
    
    if start_time < total_duration:
        filters.append(f'[0:v]trim=start={start_time},setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[v{len(filters)}]')

    filter_str = ';'.join(filters)
    print("finished chopping")
    command = ['ffmpeg', '-i', video_path, '-filter_complex', filter_str, '-map', '[v]', output_path]
    subprocess.call(command)

def get_total_duration(video_path):
    print("prior getting time")
    command = ['ffprobe', '-v', 'error', '-show_entries', 'format=duration', '-of', 'default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1', video_path]
    output = subprocess.check_output(command).decode('utf-8').strip()
    print("after getting time")
    return float(output)

input_file = r"C:\Users\D\Videos\2024-04-15 08-42-53.mkv"
output_file = r"C:\Users\D\Videos\output_video.mp4"

# Get full paths
input_path = os.path.abspath(input_file)
output_path = os.path.abspath(output_file)

total_duration = get_total_duration(input_path)
idle_sections = detect_idle_sections(input_path)
cut_idle_sections(input_path, idle_sections, output_path, total_duration)


  


  The error I am getting is:

  


  [out#0/mp4 @ 000001af60f9d3c0] Output with label 'v' does not exist in any defined filter graph, or was already used elsewhere.
Error opening output file C:\Users\D_era\Videos\output_video.mp4.
Error opening output files: Invalid argument


  


  The code is intended to cut "iddle" frames where frame a = frame b. I want to point out that I don't really care about audio, so it's just comparing if frames "A" through "H" are the same and keeping a and continuing with the rest of the video.

  


  Putting some comments to determine which part was successful and which broke, I found that the line failig is this:

  


  command = ['ffmpeg', '-i', video_path, '-filter_complex', filter_str, '-map', '[v]', output_path]


  


  and apparently is the -map part.

  


• HLS. FFmpeg: error when loading first segment [closed]

  30 April 2024, by rus_99_pk

  I'm trying to download a streaming video using ffmpeg. There is a file in the format *.m3u8. BUT, if everything was so simple, I would not have come here.

  


  There are a number of nuances:

  


  

  1. It cannot be downloaded by specifying a link to the file

  


  2. If you upload the file and look at its contents, there will be: #EXT-X-KEY:METHOD=AES-128,URI="[KEY],IV=[IV]

  


  


  With a URI, the task is easy to solve; just specify the value list.m3u8.

  


  I end up getting:

  


  Error when loading first segment 'https://cdnv-m12.boomstream.com/vod/hash:21596def3216ed982660d609751b8078/id:35105.29443.1039983.85853232.150106.hls/time:0/data:eyJ2ZXJzaW9uIjoiMS4yLjk3IiwidXNlX2RpcmVjdF9saW5rcyI6InllcyIsImlzX2VuY3J5cHQiOiJ5ZXMifQ==/m61/2024/04/27/1Q0idCxb.mp4/media-1.ts'


  


  But with IV it’s more difficult, because file processing is performed on the server side. Please help.

  


  I tried to get JS with similar variable names and monitor network traffic using Wireshark, in the hope of catching a response from the server with IV.

  


  But it didn't help me.

  


  My script for download:

  


  #!/bin/bash
clear

• ffmpeg: Unrecognized option 'alpha_quality'

  16 April 2024, by László Monda

  I want to make transparent videos work in Safari, which doesn't support WebM for this purpose but only H265 with alpha transparency.

  


  According to this post, I used Shutter Encoder, but only some of its versions work for this purpose on Mac.

  


  Instead of using Shutter Encoder on Mac, I want to use ffmpeg on my Linux PC. Shutter Encoder uses the following command in the background:

  


  ffmpeg -threads 0 -hwaccel none -i input.mov -c:v hevc_videotoolbox -alpha_quality 1 -b:v 1000k -profile:v main -level 5.2 -map v:0 -an -pix_fmt yuva420p -sws_flags bicubic -tag:v hvc1 -metadata creation_time=2024-04-14T14:53:08.734684Z -y output.mp4

  


  which yields the following output on my PC:

Unrecognized option 'alpha_quality'.
Error splitting the argument list: Option not found


  


  When googling for "Unrecognized option 'alpha_quality'.", there are no results, which I find very odd.

  


  What's going on, and how can I make ffmpeg work for this purpose without Shutter Encoder?
