• How do I properly enable ffmpeg for matplotlib.animation ?

  7 mars 2017, par spanishgum

  I have covered a lot of ground on stack so far trying to get ffmpeg going so I can make a timelapse video.

  I am on a CentOS 7 machine, running python3.7.0a0.

  python3
  
  >>> import numpy as np
  
  >>> np.__version__
  
  '1.12.0'
  
  >>> import matplotlib as mpl
  
  >>> mpl.__version__
  
  '2.0.0'
  
  >>> import mpl_toolkits.basemap as base
  
  >>> base.__version__
  
  '1.0.7'

  I found this github gist on installing ffmpeg. I used the chromium source, and installed without a prefix option (using the default).

  I have confirmed that ffmpeg is installed, although I don’t know anything about testing whether it works.

  which ffmpeg
  
  /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
  
  
  
  ffmpeg -version
  
  ffmpeg version N-83533-gada281d Copyright (c) 2000-2017 the FFmpeg dev elopers
  
  built with gcc 4.8.5 (GCC) 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11
  
  configuration:
  
  libavutil      55. 47.100 / 55. 47.100
  
  libavcodec     57. 80.100 / 57. 80.100
  
  libavformat    57. 66.102 / 57. 66.102
  
  libavdevice    57.  2.100 / 57.  2.100
  
  libavfilter     6. 73.100 /  6. 73.100
  
  libswscale      4.  3.101 /  4.  3.101
  
  libswresample   2.  4.100 /  2.  4.100

  I tried to run a few sample examples I found online :

  [1] http://matplotlib.org/examples/animation/basic_example_writer.html

  [2] http://stackoverflow.com/a/23098090/3454650

  Everything works fine up until I try to save the animation file.

  [1]

   anim.save('basic_animation.mp4', writer = FFwriter, fps=30, extra_args=['-vcodec', 'libx264'])

  [2]

  im_ani.save('im.mp4', writer=writer)

  I found here that explictly setting the path to ffmpeg might be necessary so I added this to the top of the test scripts :

  plt.rcParams['animation.ffmpeg_path'] = '/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg'

  I tried a few more tweaks in the code but always get the same response, which I do not know how to begin deciphering :

  Traceback (most recent call last):
  
    File "testanim.py", line 27, in <module>
  
      writer.grab_frame()
  
    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/contextlib.py", line 100, in __exit__

      selector.register(self.stdout, selectors.EVENT_READ)
  
    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/selectors.py", line 351, in register
  
      key = super().register(fileobj, events, data)
  
    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/selectors.py", line 237, in register
  
      key = SelectorKey(fileobj, self._fileobj_lookup(fileobj), events, data)
  
    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/selectors.py", line 224, in _fileobj_lookup
  
      return _fileobj_to_fd(fileobj)
  
    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/selectors.py", line 39, in _fileobj_to_fd
  
      "{!r}".format(fileobj)) from None
  
  ValueError: Invalid file object: &lt;_io.BufferedReader name=6>
  
  </module>

  Is there something with my configuration that is malformed ? I searched google for this error for some time but never found anything relevant to animations / ffmpeg. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  UPDATE :

  @LordNeckBeard pointed me here : https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Centos

  I ran into problems with installing the x264 encoding dependency. Some files in libavcodec/*.c (in the make output) were reporting undefined references to several functions. After a wild goose chase found this : https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/x264-devel/2015-February/010971.html

  To fix the x264 installation, I simply added some configure flags :

  ./configure --enable-static --enable-shared --extra-ldflags="-lswresample -llzma"

  ---

  UPDATE :

  So everything installed fine after fixing the libx264 problems. I went ahead and copied the ffmpeg binary from the ffmpeg_build folder into /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg.

  After running the script I was getting problems where ffmpeg could not find the libx264 shared object. I think I will have to recompile everything using different prefixes. My intuition tells me there are old files laying around after I have messed with everything, using some configuration that is broken.

  So I decided maybe I should just try to use NUX : http://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/install-ffmpeg-centos-7/
  I installed ffmpeg using the new rpm, but to no avail. I still was not able to run ffmpeg because of a missing shared object.

  Finally, instead of usiong files copied into my /usr/local/bin folder, I ran ffmpeg directly from the build bin directory. Turns out that this does work properly !

  So in essence, if I want to install ffmpeg system wide, I need to manually compile from sources again but using a nonlocal prefix.

• Extract individual frames as a buffer from a video

  30 août 2022, par mgo

  I'm trying to process a video using tensorflow in node.js (i.e. on the server - I don't have a web page). I need to process each frame in the video individually. I see some people are using ffmpeg to generate individual image files from the video but that seems wasteful as it creates files on the filesystem. I would prefer to grab each frame as a base64 string in memory. I've got this working using OpenCV4Node but am wondering if there are any lighter weight solutions. Is anyone already doing this ? Any help would be appreciated :-)
