• How to test ffmpeg for streaming encoding at 1x ? [closed]

  7 mai 2023, par Public Name

  I would like to test ffmpeg for encoding a stream on my VM to see how much CPU % it uses, and how many cores. I don't have streams going, but I plan to use webcams to provide the stream in the future. How should I go about doing this ?

  


  I have test mp4 files I could provide.

  


  Should I :

  


  

  1. Is there a way to tell ffmpeg to only encode at 1x speed (ie only do 30fps per second for encoding) ?

  


  2. Or do I have to create a stream first and have ffmpeg encode the stream ? I found SRS (Simple Realtime Server) https://github.com/ossrs/srs. I was going to start a stream from there and have ffmpeg ingest it. But it seems complicated I was wondering if there was an easier way by doing #1 ? Or is there an easier way to do #2 ?

  


  


  So far I have tried to get ffmpeg running, but have encountered some errors. The SRS is complicated to setup, so I have not tried it yet.

  


• How to send encoded video (or audio) data from server to client in a way that's decodable by webcodecs API using minimal latency and data overhead

  11 janvier 2023, par Tiger Yang

  My question (read entire post for context) :

  


  Given the unique circumstance of only ever decoding data from a specifically-configured encoder, what is the best way I can send the encoded bitstream along with the bare minimum extra bytes required to properly configure the decoder on the client's end (including only things that change per stream, and omitting things that don't, such as resolution) ? I'm a sucker for zero compromises, and I think I am willing to design my own minimal container format to accomplish this.

  


  Context and problem :

  


  I'm working on a remote desktop implementation that consists of a server that captures and encodes the display and speakers using FFmpeg and forwards it via pipe to a go (language) program which sends it on two unidirectional webtransport streams to my client, which I plan to decode using the webcodecs API. According to MDN, the video decoder needs to be fed via .configure() an object containing the following : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/VideoDecoder/configure before it's able to decode anything.

  


  same goes for the audio decoder : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AudioDecoder/configure

  


  What I've tried so far :

  


  Because this remote desktop will be for my personal use only, it would only ever receive streams from a specific encoder configured in a specific way encoding video at a specific resolution, framerate, color space, etc.. Therefore, I took my video capture FFmpeg command...

  


  videoString := []string{
        "ffmpeg",
        "-init_hw_device", "d3d11va",
        "-filter_complex", "ddagrab=video_size=1920x1080:framerate=60",
        "-vcodec", "hevc_nvenc",
        "-tune", "ll",
        "-preset", "p7",
        "-spatial_aq", "1",
        "-temporal_aq", "1",
        "-forced-idr", "1",
        "-rc", "cbr",
        "-b:v", "500K",
        "-no-scenecut", "1",
        "-g", "216000",
        "-f", "hevc", "-",
    }


  


  ...and instructed it to write to an mp4 file instead of outputting to pipe, and then I had this webcodecs demo https://w3c.github.io/webcodecs/samples/video-decode-display/ demux it using mp4box.js. Knowing that the demo outputs a proper .configure() object, I blindly copied it and had my client configure using that every time. Sadly, it didn't work, and I since noticed that the "description" part of the configure object changes despite the encoder and parameters being the same.

  


  I knew that mp4 files worked via mp4box, but they can't be streamed with low latency over a network, and additionally, ffmpeg's -f parameters specifies the muxer to use, but there are so many different types.

  


  At this point, I think I'm completely out of my depth, so :

• avfilter/vf_libplacebo : add flexible crop exprs

  1er mai 2023, par Niklas Haas

  avfilter/vf_libplacebo : add flexible crop exprs
  Motivated by a desire to use vf_libplacebo as a GPU-accelerated
  
  cropping/padding/zooming filter. This commit adds support for setting
  
  the `input/target.crop` fields as dynamic expressions.
  Re-use the same generic variables available to other scale and crop type
  
  filters, and also add some more that we can afford as a result of being
  
  able to set these properties dynamically.
  It's worth pointing out that `out_t/ot` is currently redundant with
  
  `in_t/t` since it will always contain the same PTS values, but I plan on
  
  changing this in the near future.
  I decided to also expose `crop_w/crop_h` and `pos_w/pos_h` as variables
  
  in the expression parser itself, since this enables the fairly common
  
  use case of determining dimensions first and then placing the image
  
  appropriately, such as is done in the default behavior (which centers
  
  the cropped/placed region by default).
