#4566: ffmpeg won't copy metadata ("StreamTitle") from audio live stream (transcoding) ----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: easydoor | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: important Component: ffmpeg | Version: 2.6.2 Keywords: metadata | Blocked By: Blocking: | Reproduced by developer: 0 Analyzed by developer: 0 | ----------------------------------+------------------------------------- It won't copy "StreamTitle" from input to output while transcoding input from mp3 to aac. I'm using version v2.6.1 compiled by me on ubuntu 14. I try simpliest transcoding with -c:a copy option and sending it to icecast v2.4.1 and as a client I'm using latest winamp and vlc. In booth player as title is showing only the mount point (in this case mystream) from icecast: {{{ icecast://source:mypass@x.x.x.x:8000/mystream }}} and not the StreamTitle from input file. Why and how can I just pass it from input to output? I don't think that problem is Icecast, because I try to stream with SAM Broadcaster and in Winamp I see updated StreamTitle in real time. Here is the command line: {{{ /root/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg*/./ffmpeg -stats -report -i http://streaming.streamonomy.com/ElectricFM -c:a copy -content_type audio/mpeg -f mp3 icecast://source:mypass@x.x.x.x:8000/mystream }}} and here is the output: {{{ root@vs4063:~# /root/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg*/./ffmpeg -stats -report -i http://streaming.streamonomy.com/ElectricFM -c:a copy -content_type audio/mpeg -f mp3 icecast://source:mypass@x.x.x.x:8000/mystream ffmpeg started on 2015-03-23 at 03:01:01 Report written to "ffmpeg-20150323-030101.log" ffmpeg version 2.6.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2015 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 4.8 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) configuration: --prefix=/root/ffmpeg_build --extra- cflags=-I/root/ffmpeg_build/include --extra- ldflags=-L/root/ffmpeg_build/lib --bindir=/root/bin --enable-gpl --enable- libass --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libfaac --enable-libfreetype --enable- libmp3lame --enable-libopus --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libaacplus --enable-nonfree libavutil 54. 20.100 / 54. 20.100 libavcodec 56. 26.100 / 56. 26.100 libavformat 56. 25.101 / 56. 25.101 libavdevice 56. 4.100 / 56. 4.100 libavfilter 5. 11.102 / 5. 11.102 libswscale 3. 1.101 / 3. 1.101 libswresample 1. 1.100 / 1. 1.100 libpostproc 53. 3.100 / 53. 3.100 Input #0, mp3, from 'http://streaming.streamonomy.com/ElectricFM': Metadata: icy-br : 128 icy-description : ElectricFM plays today's dance hits! icy-genre : Electronic Dance Pop icy-name : ElectricFM.com - America's Real Dance! icy-pub : 1 icy-url : http://www.electricfm.com StreamTitle : KYGO f/ CONRAD - FIRESTONE Duration: N/A, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 128 kb/s Stream #0:0: Audio: mp3, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16p, 128 kb/s Output #0, mp3, to 'icecast://source:mypass@x.x.x.x:8000/mystream': Metadata: icy-br : 128 icy-description : ElectricFM plays today's dance hits! icy-genre : Electronic Dance Pop icy-name : ElectricFM.com - America's Real Dance! icy-pub : 1 icy-url : http://www.electricfm.com StreamTitle : KYGO f/ CONRAD - FIRESTONE TSSE : Lavf56.25.101 Stream #0:0: Audio: mp3, 44100 Hz, stereo, 128 kb/s Stream mapping: Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (copy) Press [q] to stop, [?] for help size= 2093kB time=00:02:13.95 bitrate= 128.0kbits/s video:0kB audio:2093kB subtitle:0kB other streams:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead: 0.016237% }}} [[Image(http://ffmpeg.gusari.org/download/file.php?id=103)]] In winamp first track is original and second transcoded..

The source files contain chapter markers according to `mediainfo` which I want to be maintained in the output, but when using the `-map_chapters` option in ffmpeg they don't appear in the output file. I'm concatenating the following two files from `streams.txt`: {{{ file 'episode2.mp4' file 'episode3.mp4' }}} which contain the following chapter/menu data (output cut down for brevity): {{{ $ mediainfo episode2.mp4 ...

Hi all! Is it possible to add more color space matrix (in option) to XYZ to RGB conversion? Because the FFMPEG use only one matrix (sRGB) but lots of available, and best if the user can choose one. Because the problem is: sometimes the conversion is deffected the red is much more and the picture is dark. If possible please add some from this list.

#9285(avcodec:new): Excessive GPU memory usage with nvdec hwaccel

#9285: Excessive GPU memory usage with nvdec hwaccel -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Ridley | Type: defect Combs | Status: new | Priority: normal Component: avcodec | Version: Keywords: nvdec | unspecified nvidia | Blocked By: Blocking: | Reproduced by developer: 1 Analyzed by developer: 1 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- When decoding video using the CUDA hwaccel, `ff_nvdec_decode_init()` sets both `ulNumDecodeSurfaces` and `ulNumOutputSurfaces` to `frames_ctx->initial_pool_size`, which in turn is set by `ff_nvdec_decode_init` to `dpb_size + 2`, which in turn has 3 added by `ff_decode_get_hw_frames_ctx()` and `extra_hw_frames` + `thread_count` added by `avcodec_get_hw_frames_parameters`. This is excessive. Only `ulNumDecodeSurfaces` needs additional frames based on thread count (the output surfaces are only used in `nvdec_retrieve_data`, which runs on the consumer's single thread), while only `ulNumOutputSurfaces` needs the 3 additional output frames from `ff_decode_get_hw_frames_ctx()` or the ones from `extra_hw_frames` (the decode surfaces are never exposed to the consumer). I'm not sure what the best way to handle this is. Maybe nvdec should ignore what the generic code sets `initial_pool_size` to altogether and instead calculate its buffer counts internally, duplicating the generic code's behavior only where appropriate? The `initial_pool_size` value seems to be designed for systems where the decoder's internal buffered frames are returned directly to the user, but that's not the case here. Additionally, it doesn't seem like multithreading in CUDA actually serves any purpose; I see no performance gain when using multiple threads vs 1. Is it useful with any hardware decoder? Should we be defaulting multithreading off when using a hwaccel, or forcing it off unless the hwaccel fails and software fallback occurs? This can result in some pretty hefty memory usage for no reason by default on many-core machines. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/9285> FFmpeg <https://ffmpeg.org> FFmpeg issue tracker
