• FFMPEG delay mutliple overlay videos (with different delays)

  28 April 2019, by Bamba675

  I’m trying to overlay a video (for example a report) with different other videos or images, like hints to the facebook page or a hint to the website. These other videos or images are smaller than the original and sometimes transparent (rgba).

  I already tried to overlay multiple videos, which works pretty well:
  

  ffmpeg -i 30fps_fhd.mp4 -i sample.mp4 -i timer.webm -i logo.jpg -filter_complex "overlay = x=100:y=1000, overlay = x=30:y=66:eof_action=pass, overlay = x=0:y=0" -acodec copy -t 70 out.mp4

  But now, I want to start some videos or images not at the beginning of the video, instead after a period of time.
  I found flags like ’itsoffset’ or ’setpts’, but I dont know how to apply them on this ’multiple video / image overlay command’.

• How to correctly calculate which segments are ready to be downloaded using MPEG-DASH

  24 April 2019, by igal k

  What i’m trying to do?

  Write a simple MPEG-DASH client using the SegmentTemplate pattern to calculate which segments are ready to be downloaded for a live source.

  A picture taken using chrome’s debugging tools at a moment X showing an mpd request(8af651fd747.....mpd) and the actual segments fetched respectfully to that request.

  

  Given the following MPD

  <mpd availabilitystarttime="2019-04-24T06:43:32Z" maxsegmentduration="PT4.096S" minbuffertime="PT4.096S" minimumupdateperiod="PT15.835S" profiles="urn:mpeg:dash:profile:isoff-live:2011" publishtime="2019-04-24T11:14:01Z" suggestedpresentationdelay="PT11.878S" timeshiftbufferdepth="PT65.536S" type="dynamic" xmlns="urn:mpeg:dash:schema:mpd:2011">

  I see that the next segment request should be #3955

  What i have tried so far

      period.end = 1556104456;
  
      period.start = 2826;
  
      availability_start_time = 1556088212;
  
      max_segment_duration = 4;
  
      time_shift_buffer_depth = 65

  So, first of all, i read DASH-IF-IOP 4.3 section 4.3.4.2 page #82 and implemented the following code:

     int k1 = 1;
  
  int period_duration = period.end - (period.start + data_.availability_start_time);
  
  int k2 = ceil((float)period_duration / (float)data_.max_segment_duration);
  
  double duration = ((float)representation.duration / (float)representation.timeScale);
  
  size_t live_edge = std::min(
  
      (int)floor((float)((data_.publish_time - data_.availability_start_time - period.start) / duration)), k2);
  
  
  
  size_t oldest = std::max(k1, (int)floor((float)((data_.publish_time - data_.availability_start_time - period.start -
  
                                                      data_.time_shift_buffer_depth) /
  
                                                  duration)));

  after calculating everything: k1=1, k2=3355, live_edge=3272 and oldest=3256

  Also tried using ffmpeg’s dashdec.c

  for min_segment:

  if (c->is_live && pls->fragment_duration)
  
      {
  
          num = pls->first_seq_no + (((get_current_time_in_sec() - c->availability_start_time) - c->time_shift_buffer_depth) * pls->fragment_timescale) / pls->fragment_duration;
  
      }

  for max_segment:

  num = pls->first_seq_no + (((get_current_time_in_sec() - c->availability_start_time)) * pls->fragment_timescale) / pls->fragment_duration;

  after a small modification:

  size_t pmax = (((data_.publish_time - data_.availability_start_time))) / duration;
  
  size_t pmin = ((data_.publish_time - data_.availability_start_time) - data_.time_shift_buffer_depth) / duration;

  pmin=3946 pmax=3961

  in the ffmpeg example, i had to manually remove the first_seq_no variable because it looked like i doubled added the SegmentTemplate@StartNumber.

  even after succeeding in this task, how do i exactly build the request list of Segment(NOW) ----> Segment(LIVE_EDGE)

• FFmpeg drawtext and live coordinates with sendcmd/zmq

  9 May 2019, by DavidK

  I’d like to use a marker on a live video source which has external live data to set x,y coordinates. sendcmd can read the text file but it won’t update it, so later updates are not executed. Is it possible only with zmq? And if so, can I use zmq as a single filter (with drawtext), not with filter complex?

  I have a python that exports live coordinates in the appropriate format to a cmd.txt file. I use unix time for the coordinates and I also copy the input timestamps from the live loopback device so they have almost the same time. There’s a small delay so I have compensated the exported timestamps with +1.5s. This means the marker is moving for this extra period (while timestamps in cmd.txt are a bit ahead of the live source), but it won’t update any more. I assume that FFmpeg reads this cmd.txt and won’t update it any more but my python is writing it continuously.

  Example line of the cmd.txt:

  1557402120.3119707 drawtext reinit 'x=752:y=480';

  This is the actual ffmpeg pipe:

  ffmpeg -fflags nobuffer -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -vf "sendcmd=f=cmd.txt,drawtext=fontfile=font.ttf:fontsize=30:fontcolor=white:r=25:text='o',format=nv12,hwupload" -copyts -c:v h264_vaapi -qp 24 -y 0.mp4

  Source is a loopback device with unix time as input timestamp.
