• FFmpeg return 'invalid argument' only for some runs, even tought is the same code

  20 September 2021, by Gustavo Marinho

  I have a code in python where i need to use FFmpeg to merge a audio and a video downloaded using pytube together:

  


          for video in p.videos:
            video.streams.filter(file_extension='mp4',resolution='480p')[0].download(parent_dir+'/mp4/processing/video')
            print(video.streams.filter(only_audio=True)[1].download(parent_dir+'/mp4/processing/audio'))

            subprocess.run([

                r'c:\FFmpeg\bin\ffmpeg', '-i',
                os.path.join(parent_dir+'/mp4/processing/video',video.streams.filter(file_extension='mp4',resolution='480p')[0].default_filename)
                ,'-i',
                os.path.join(parent_dir+'/mp4/processing/audio',video.streams.filter(only_audio=True)[1].default_filename),
                '-c:v','copy','-c:a','copy',
                os.path.join(parent_dir+'/mp4',video.streams.filter(file_extension='mp4',resolution='480p')[0].title+'.mp4')

            ])


  


  I tought the code was working perfectly, but in some cases, the FFmpeg returns "invalid argument", like this example:

  For some reason, the FFmpeg say that my output name is invalid, but i don't understand why, given that i ran the code multiple times before and it worked perfectly

  


  Thanks in advance, sorry for my bad english :3

  


• Laravel FFMpeg - FFMpeg cannot edit existing files in-place

  28 September 2020, by wlaskovic

  After I wanted to upload a video in the queue was returned a failed job.

  


   [2020-09-25 13:24:25][125] Processing: App\Jobs\ConvertVideoForStreaming <br /> [2020-09-25 13:24:26][125] Failed:     App\Jobs\ConvertVideoForStreaming&#xA;

  


  So I've took from the DB failed_jobs table the response and run the following:

  


    C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe -y -i "C:\wamp64\www\laravel-stream\storage\app/public\WF3UL8fJTSE7BMxa.mp4" -threads 12 -vcodec libx264 -acodec libmp3lame -b:v 500k -refs 6 -coder 1 -sc_threshold 40 -flags +loop -me_range 16 -subq 7 -i_qfactor 0.71 -qcomp 0.6 -qdiff 4 -trellis 1 -b:a 128k -vf "[in]scale=720:360 [out]" -pass 1 -passlogfile "C:\Users\wlask\AppData\Local\Temp\ffmpeg-passes5f6dd36a4519fd1fev/pass-5f6dd36a452c9" "C:\wamp64\www\laravel-stream\storage\app/public\WF3UL8fJTSE7BMxa.mp4"


  


  Which returned the following:

  Output C:\wamp64\www\laravel-stream\storage\app/public\WF3UL8fJTSE7BMxa.mp4 same as Input #0 - exiting

  


  FFmpeg cannot edit existing files in-place.

  


  


  This was returned after i've run the command from DB failed jobs table return.

  


  How should I solve this?

  


• Why AudioSegment doesn't read 'mp3'?

  22 October 2020, by freshITmeat

  I tried to read file that I give with absolute path.
When I run my code first that I see is this message:

  


  D:\prog\datascience\anaconda\lib\site-packages\pydub\utils.py:170: RuntimeWarning: Couldn't find ffmpeg or avconv - defaulting to ffmpeg, but may not work
  warn("Couldn't find ffmpeg or avconv - defaulting to ffmpeg, but may not work", RuntimeWarning)


  


  I tried this:

  


  PATH_TO_FFMPEG = 'D:\\prog\\ffmpeg-win-2.2.2\\ffmpeg.exe'
pydub.AudioSegment.converter = r'D:\\prog\\ffmpeg-win-2.2.2\\ffmpeg.exe'


  


  And I separately installed ffmpeg with pip. But it didn't help.
When I try this:

  


  raw_sound = pydub.AudioSegment.from_mp3(file=track_path)


  


  where track_path is correct absolute path generated automatically.
So I got this this error:
