extracting video and data streams from MPEG2 TS over RTP in real-time
10 janvier 2024, par Tejal BarnwalI have H264 video stream and KLV meta data encapsulated inside MPEG2 TS container which are sent over an RTP over UDP from a camera.
I intend to do the following :


- 

- Extract both video and data streams from RTP
- Process video feed using opencv in a seperate thread
- process klv metadata in a seperate thread








My problem what exact arguments should I provide to ffmpeg so as to read h264 video stream and show the images frame by frame using opencv ?


With the help of some previous posts like Simultaneously map video and data streams to one subprocess pipeline in real-time, I was able to get some idea about how could I proceed to procees the stream over RTP.


I started out by using the following script :


#!/usr/bin/env python3
from asyncio import streams
from logging.handlers import QueueListener
import klvdata
import subprocess as sp
import shlex
import threading
import numpy as np
import cv2
import time
from io import BytesIO

# Video reader thread.
def video_reader(pipe):
 cols, rows = 1280, 720 # Assume we know frame size is 1280x720

 counter = 0
 while True:
 print("read image")
 raw_image = pipe.read(cols*rows*3) # Read raw video frame

 # Break the loop when length is too small
 if len(raw_image) < cols*rows*3:
 break

 if (counter % 10) == 0:
 # Show video frame evey 60 frames
 image = np.frombuffer(raw_image, np.uint8).reshape([rows, cols, 3])
 cv2.imshow('Video', image) # Show video image for testing
 cv2.waitKey(1)
 counter += 1
 print("image showed on window")
 time.sleep(0.25)



# https://github.com/paretech/klvdata/tree/master/klvdata
def bytes_to_int(value, signed=False):
 """Return integer given bytes."""
 return int.from_bytes(bytes(value), byteorder='big', signed=signed)


# Data reader thread (read KLV data).
def data_reader(pipe):
 key_length = 16 # Assume key length is 16 bytes.

 f = open('data.bin', 'wb') # For testing - store the KLV data to data.bin (binary file)

 while True:
 # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KLV
 # The first few bytes are the Key, much like a key in a standard hash table data structure.
 # Keys can be 1, 2, 4, or 16 bytes in length.
 # Presumably in a separate specification document you would agree on a key length for a given application.
 key = pipe.read(key_length) # Read the key
 
 if len(key) < key_length:
 break # Break the loop when length is too small
 f.write(key) # Write data to binary file for testing

 # https://github.com/paretech/klvdata/tree/master/klvdata
 # Length field
 len_byte = pipe.read(1)

 if len(len_byte) < 1:
 break # Break the loop when length is too small
 f.write(len_byte) # Write data to binary file for testing

 byte_length = bytes_to_int(len_byte)

 # https://github.com/paretech/klvdata/tree/master/klvdata 
 if byte_length < 128:
 # BER Short Form
 length = byte_length
 ber_len_bytes = b''
 else:
 # BER Long Form
 ber_len = byte_length - 128
 ber_len_bytes = pipe.read(ber_len)

 if len(ber_len_bytes) < ber_len:
 break # Break the loop when length is too small
 f.write(ber_len_bytes) # Write ber_len_bytes to binary file for testing

 length = bytes_to_int(ber_len_bytes)

 # Read the value (length bytes)
 value = pipe.read(length)
 if len(value) < length:
 break # Break the loop when length is too small
 f.write(value) # Write data to binary file for testing

 klv_data = key + len_byte + ber_len_bytes + value # Concatenate key length and data
 klv_data_as_bytes_io = BytesIO(klv_data) # Wrap klv_data with BytesIO (before parsing)

 # Parse the KLV data
 for packet in klvdata.StreamParser(klv_data_as_bytes_io): 
 metadata = packet.MetadataList()
 for key, value in metadata.items():
 print(key, value)
 
 print("\n") # New line

# Execute FFmpeg as sub-process
# Map the video to stderr and map the data to stdout
process = sp.Popen(shlex.split('ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel quiet ' # Set loglevel to quiet for disabling the prints ot stderr
 '-i "rtp://192.168.0.141:11024" ' # Input video "Day Flight.mpg"
 '-map 0:v -c:v rawvideo -pix_fmt bgr24 -f:v rawvideo pipe:2 ' # rawvideo format is mapped to stderr pipe (raw video codec with bgr24 pixel format)
 '-map 0:d -c copy -copy_unknown -f:d data pipe:1 ' # Copy the data without ddecoding.
 '-report'), # Create a log file (because we can't the statuses that are usually printed to stderr).
 stdout=sp.PIPE, stderr=sp.PIPE)


# Start video reader thread (pass stderr pipe as argument).
video_thread = threading.Thread(target=video_reader, args=(process.stderr,))
video_thread.start()

# Start data reader thread (pass stdout pipe as argument).
data_thread = threading.Thread(target=data_reader, args=(process.stdout,))
data_thread.start()


# Wait for threads (and process) to finish.
video_thread.join()
data_thread.join()
process.wait()




With the above script, I was facing two issues :


- 

- The second thread resulted in an attribute error




Exception in thread Thread-2:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/lib/python3.8/threading.py", line 932, in _bootstrap_inner

 File "/usr/lib/python3.8/threading.py", line 870, in run
 self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
 File "video_data_extraction.py", line 97, in data_reader
 print(packet.MetadataList())
AttributeError: 'UnknownElement' object has no attribute 'MetadataList'




- 

- With this though I continuously able to see following output on the terminal regarding reading the images




read image
image showed on window
read image
image showed on window
read image
image showed on window
read image
image showed on window
read image
image showed on window
read image
image showed on window



The imshow windows wasnt updating properly ! It seemed stuck after a few frames.


Further diving into the lane with the help of following command, I concluded that the video stream that I am reading has H264 encoding


ffprobe -i rtp://192.168.0.141:11024 -show_streams -show_formats



Output of the above command :

Further, in the log output, I see a lot of statements in regard to missed packets and PES packet mismatch

What arguments do I provide to ffmpeg and in what order because my stream 0 is metadata and stream 1 is video so as to display image frame by frame with opencv ?
I would be grateful for any help that you could provide.


Further, I also have a query regarding how does ffmpeg know to that it has to first convert the rtp packets into mpeg2 TS packets before segregating video stream and data stream ?

Muxing H264 packets into a MPEGTS container using libav*
30 avril 2024, par LucenI'm writing a C++ program where I need to encode packets in h264 format and mux them to a MPEG TS container. For the encoding part, I based my code on the encode_video example (https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/encode_video_8c-example.html#a9) provided in FFMPEG documentation, and it seems to work fine. In particular, I generate a std::vector of packets which I sequentially write to an output .ts file for debug. Such .ts file plays fine with SMPlayer, and a ffproba command gives

The dts and pts timestamps are also set.
However, if I try to mux them in MPEG TS format, using as a base the example mux.c (https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/mux_8c-example.html), it doesn't work. A shortened version of my muxing code is as follows : (the variables ending with "_" are class fields)


int MyProcessing::Mux(const std::string outputFilename) {
 AVFormatContext *muxingContest;
 avformat_alloc_output_context2(&muxingContest, NULL, NULL, m_output.c_str());

 auto outFormat = muxingContest->oformat;
 outFormat->video_codec = AV_CODEC_ID_H264;

 AVStream *outStream;
 const AVCodec *codec;

 Mux_AddStream(&outStream, muxingContest, &codec, outFormat->video_codec);

 AVDictionary *opt = nullptr;
 Mux_OpenVideo(muxingContest, codec, outStream, opt);
 
 if (!(muxingContest->flags & AVFMT_NOFILE)) {
 avio_open(&muxingContest->pb, m_output.c_str(), AVIO_FLAG_WRITE);
 }
 avformat_write_header(muxingContest, &opt);

 auto muxOk = true;
 size_t countMuxedFrames = 0;
 while ((muxOk) && (countMuxedFrames < packets_.size())) {
 muxOk = !MuxPacket(muxingContest, outStream, packets_[countMuxedFrames], &opt);
 countMuxedFrames++;
 }

 av_write_trailer(muxingContest);
 if (!(muxCodecContextPtr_->flags & AVFMT_NOFILE)) avio_closep(&muxingContest->pb);
 
 return 0;
}


int MyProcessing::Mux_AddStream(AVStream **stream, AVFormatContext *format, const AVCodec **codec, enum AVCodecID codecId) {
 *codec = avcodec_find_encoder(codecId);
 muxPacketTmpPtr_ = av_packet_alloc();

 return 0;
}

}




The console error is


[mpegts @ 0x55555736edc0] H.264 bitstream malformed, no startcode found, use the video bitstream filter 'h264_mp4toannexb' to fix it ('-bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb' option with ffmpeg)



It Is telling me to apply the h264_mp4toannexb filter. As you see from the code, I've put the filtering accordingly, but the error message persists (unless I'm applying the filter in a wrong way).


In the last lines of method MuxPacket(), if I uncomment the line with av_interleaved_write_frame() and comment the previous one, I get the same error, as well as a seg fault. Inspecting with GDB, the call stack for the seg fault is as follows :

I tried to look at solutions online, but they are either old or they don't work. Some of the things I tried and didn't work :


- 

- Putting the line




muxCodecContextPtr_->flags |= AV_CODEC_FLAG_GLOBAL_HEADER;



in Mux() after the call to avformat_alloc_output_context2.


- 

- Setting




packet.flags |= AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY;



before the call to av_write_frame / av_interleaved_write_frame.

Timeline Display Issue When Merging Multi-Track MP4 Files with FFmpeg
9 juillet 2024, par EasonWaiiI need to merge two videos into one using ffmpeg. The resulting video should have two video tracks and one audio track, with the audio track taken from the longer video.


When playing the merged video in a player like PotPlayer or VLC, it should default to playing the shorter video track. However, users should be able to switch to the other video track if they want.


The problem I am facing :
Everything is working fine, except when the player defaults to the shorter video track, it shows the timeline of the longer video track.

I want the timeline to display correctly according to the shorter video track when it is being played, without truncating the timeline of the longer video track and affecting its playback.
