• Error when Decode h264 file by using FFMPEG with multithreading ?

  12 septembre 2013, par TTGroup

  I write the code for decoding many .flv video files. Each video file is decoded by a separate thread.
  When I try on 1 thread, everything is ok. But when I try on more than 2 threads, it always occurs the error "insufficient thread locking around avcodec_open/close()".

  I have searched and I know the functions avcodec_open() and avcodec_close() is not thread safe.
  And after that, I putted the mutex locking at anywhere that two that functions are called.

  lockObj.Lock();
  
  avcodec_open/close();
  
  lockObj.UnLock();

  But the error "insufficient thread locking around avcodec_open/close()" is still happen.

  Someone can tell me the solution ?

  Many thanks,

• How to change metadata with ffmpeg/avconv without creating a new file ?

  15 avril 2014, par tampis

  I am writing a python script for producing audio and video podcasts. There are a bunch of recorded media files (audio and video) and text files containing the meta information.

  Now I want to program a function which shall add the information from the meta data text files to all media files (the original and the converted ones). Because I have to handle many different file formats (wav, flac, mp3, mp4, ogg, ogv...) it would be great to have a tool which add meta data to arbitrary formats.

  My Question :

  How can I change the metadata of a file with ffmpeg/avconv without changing the audio or video of it and without creating a new file ? Is there another commandline/python tool which would do the job for me ?

  What I tried so far :

  I thought ffmpeg/avconv could be such a tool, because it can handle nearly all media formats. I hoped, that if I set -i input_file and the output_file to the same file, ffmpeg/avconv will be smart enough to leave the file unchanged. Then I could set -metadata key=value and just the metadata will be changed.

  But I noticed, that if I type avconv -i test.mp3 -metadata title='Test title' test.mp3 the audio test.mp3 will be reconverted in another bitrate.

  So I thought to use -c copy to copy all video and audio information. Unfortunately also this does not work :

  :~$ du -h test.wav # test.wav is 303 MB big
  
  303M    test.wav
  
  
  
  :~$ avconv -i test.wav -c copy -metadata title='Test title' test.wav

  :~$ du -h test.wav # file size of test.wav changed dramatically
  
  900K    test.wav

  You see, that I cannot use -c copy if input_file and output_file are the same. Of course I could produce a temporarily file :

  :-$ avconv -i test.wav -c copy -metadata title='Test title' test_temp.mp3
  
  :-$ mv test_tmp.mp3 test.mp3

  But this solution would create (temporarily) a new file on the filesystem and is therefore not preferable.

• live encoding/streaming with ffmpeg [migrated]

  24 novembre 2012, par dave

  I'm using ffmpeg to encode large avi (or other) files to mp4, which are then saved to disk, then streamed in the browser using apache mod_h264.

  The problem with this is that we have to wait until ffmpeg finishes encoding the mp4, which can take a long time. Ideally, we would be able to stream the video, while the encoding is being processed.

  Is there a way to do this with ffmpeg/mod_h264 or is there a better solution to achieve this ?

  Thanks !
