  • HTML5 audio and video support

    13 avril 2011, par

    MediaSPIP uses HTML5 video and audio tags to play multimedia files, taking advantage of the latest W3C innovations supported by modern browsers.
    The MediaSPIP player used has been created specifically for MediaSPIP and can be easily adapted to fit in with a specific theme.
    For older browsers the Flowplayer flash fallback is used.
    MediaSPIP allows for media playback on major mobile platforms with the above (...)

  • Support audio et vidéo HTML5

    10 avril 2011

    MediaSPIP utilise les balises HTML5 video et audio pour la lecture de documents multimedia en profitant des dernières innovations du W3C supportées par les navigateurs modernes.
    Pour les navigateurs plus anciens, le lecteur flash Flowplayer est utilisé.
    Le lecteur HTML5 utilisé a été spécifiquement créé pour MediaSPIP : il est complètement modifiable graphiquement pour correspondre à un thème choisi.
    Ces technologies permettent de distribuer vidéo et son à la fois sur des ordinateurs conventionnels (...)

  • Ffmpeg stream video as it's beeing built

    21 novembre 2014, par Lau Llobet

    I need to deliver a video to a screen as fast as possible, at the moment i create the video, overlaying layers of pngs, once the video is built I play it in the media player.

    Is it possible to stream the video as it is beeing built ? So ffmpeg starts building the first feames and streaming them at real time. Right now the time it takes the video to be built is very similar to the length of the video.

    Thank you.

  • ffmpeg record screen and save video file to disk as .mp4 or .mpg

    5 janvier 2015, par musimbate

    I want to record the screen of my pc (using gdigrab on my windows machine) and store the saved video file on my disk as an mp4 or mpg file .I have found an example piece of code that grabs the screen and shows it in an SDL window here :http://xwk.iteye.com/blog/2125720 (The code is on the bottom of the page and has an english version) and the ffmpeg muxing example https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/muxing_8c-source.html seems to be able to help encode audio and video into a desired output video file.

    I have tried to combine these two by having a format context for grabbing the screen (AVFormatContext *pFormatCtx ; in my code ) and a separate format context to write the desired video file (AVFormatContext *outFormatContextEncoded ;).Within the loop to read packets from the input stream( screen grab stream) I directly encode write packets to the output file as shown in my code.I have kept the SDL code so I can see what I am recording.Below is my code with my modified write_video_frame() function .

    The code builds OK but the output video can’t be played by vlc. When I run the command

    ffmpeg -i filename.mpg

    I get this output

    [mpeg @ 003fed20] probed stream 0 failed
    [mpeg @ 003fed20] Stream #0: not enough frames to estimate rate; consider increasing probesize
    [mpeg @ 003fed20] Could not find codec parameters for stream 0 (Video: none): unknown codec
    Consider increasing the value for the 'analyzeduration' and 'probesize' options
    karamage.mpg: could not find codec parameters
    Input #0, mpeg, from 'karamage.mpg':
     Duration: 19:30:09.25, start: 37545.438756, bitrate: 2 kb/s
       Stream #0:0[0x1e0]: Video: none, 90k tbr, 90k tbn
    At least one output file must be specified

    Am I doing something wrong here ? I am new to ffmpeg and any guidance on this is highly appreciated.Thank you for your time.
