Compiling FFMPEG with ffplay support
by Stas Oskin 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Hi. Did the compilation parameters changed in recent FFMPEG version? Configuring the FFMPEG like this: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-pthreads Does not produce ffplay anymore. I tried to add --enable-ffplay, without any result. Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks.

Flip in sws_scale
by romulo.fernandes＠gmail.com 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Hello, I'm using libswscale to scale and convert pixel format from frames that I capture from the screen. In my windows build the frames that I capture are in DIB format. I'm using FFMPEG SVN rev 16437. Calling sws_scale normally I get the image correctly, except that it's vertically flipped. If I change the srcSliceY from 0 to srcHeight and srcSliceH from srcHeight to 0, I get a grey image (with correct dimensions). If I keep the srcSliceY in 0 and change srcSliceH from srcHeight to -srcHeight, I also get that grey image. Is there a way to make sws_scale flip the image for me ?

Howto compile ffplay.c in seperate directory with my own svn-version of ffmpeg
by tps＠netmaster.dk 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Dear All I have compiled svn-version of ffmpeg. I only do configure and make. I do not do make install because I don't want this svn-version of ffmpeg to overwrite the 'official' Ubuntu version of ffpeg that is also on the host. Now I want to compile my own version of ffplay.c so I create a directory ffplay at the same level as the svn ffmpeg-directory. I copy ffplay.c from ffmpeg to ffplay. Now what gcc options should I use to compile ffplay.c? I tried with this but got tons of errors: gcc -o ffplay ffplay.c -I../ffmpeg -L../ffmpeg/libavcodec -L../ffmpeg/libavformt -L../ffmpeg/libswscale -L../ffmpeg/libavutil -lavcodec -lavformat -lswscale -lavutil -lmp3lame -lx264 `sdl-config --cflags --libs` I note that when I do the make in the svn ffmpeg-directory there are a lot of options on the gcc command. I hardly know any of the options. Thanks in advance

I've continued to play with this, without success. I've specified not only -sn, as you suggest, but also -an as a test to keep the audio streams from interfering. ffmpeg accepts this command line but, unfortunately, it's crashing with an illegal instruction error and generates only an empty output file. I am wondering if any of the following needs to be addressed: 1. max_analyze_duration reached 2. stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate 3. bitrate: -2147483 kb/s This is what it is doing now: ========================================================================== ffmpeg -f mpeg -i image.mpg -sn -an -target ntsc-dvd image.out FFmpeg version git-31ff9bd, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the FFmpeg developers built on Mar 12 2011 11:21:15 with gcc 4.1.2 configuration: libavutil 50. 39. 0 / 50. 39. 0 libavcodec 52.113. 2 / 52.113. 2 libavformat 52.102. 0 / 52.102. 0 libavdevice 52. 2. 3 / 52. 2. 3 libavfilter 1. 76. 0 / 1. 76. 0 libswscale 0. 12. 0 / 0. 12. 0 [mpeg @ 0x8b8f600] max_analyze_duration reached [mpeg @ 0x8b8f600] Further flags set but no bytes left Last message repeated 1 times Last message repeated 2 times Last message repeated 3 times Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 50.00 (50/1) -> 5000.00 (5000/1) Last message repeated 3 times Input #0, mpeg, from 'image.mpg': Duration: 00:00:02.73, start: 0.066600, bitrate: -2147483 kb/s Stream #0.0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 720x576 [PAR 16:15 DAR 4:3], 9282 kb/s, 25 fps, 5k tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc Stream #0.1[0x20]: Subtitle: dvdsub Stream #0.2[0x80]: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 384 kb/s Stream #0.3[0x1ce]: Audio: mp2, 0 channels Stream #0.4[0x1d1]: Audio: mp2, 0 channels Stream #0.5[0x1d7]: Audio: mp2, 0 channels [buffer @ 0x8ba2bd0] w:720 h:576 pixfmt:yuv420p [scale @ 0x8ba2f90] w:720 h:576 fmt:yuv420p -> w:720 h:480 fmt:yuv420p flags:0xa0000004 Output #0, dvd, to 'image.out': Metadata: encoder : Lavf52.102.0 Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 720x480 [PAR 8:9 DAR 4:3], q=2-31, 6000 kb/s, 90k tbn, 29.97 tbc Stream mapping: Stream #0.0 -> #0.0 Press [q] to stop encoding frame= 0 fps= 0 q=0.0 size= 0kB time=10000000000.00 bitrate= 0.0kbits/s Illegal instruction

UDP Multicast streaming
by omar.gomez＠gmail.com 04 Oct '13

04 Oct '13

Hi!, I've been using the FFmpeg + Mplayer combo for a college project I'm working on. The idea is to stream an Opengl app's buffer is real-time in order to have thin-clients interact remotely with the app. I've succeed at building an scenario where the buffer is pulled out of the app and injected to a pipe using the following command: cat <fifo> | ppmtoy4m -S 420jpeg | ffmpeg -y -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -f avi udp:127.0.0.1:1234 Clients then use the following command to view the stream: mplayer -demuxer mpeg4es udp://@127.0.0.1:5000 This has been working all right, but I want to achieve the following: 1) Work in a multicast scenario. ======================== I though it was as easy as to change the address for a multicasting one like the following: cat <fifo> | ppmtoy4m -S 420jpeg | ffmpeg -y -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -f avi udp:224.0.0.1:5000?ttl=1 Using the ?ttl parameter was something I found by googling, but I'm not sure if that works. At the same time MPLayer clients should work by using: mplayer -demuxer mpeg4es udp://@224.0.0.1:5000 Which works, but I'm wondering why I *have* to add a port (being a multicast address) and why it doesn't work if I open a second client (I believe is still working as unicast) 2) Using VLC ========== I've not been able to make this work with VLC. That "demuxer" parameter seen to be the problem. 3) Use different containers,codecs ================== This seems to be working using mpeg4+yuv420p. I would like to experiment with other codes as well, like h263p or h262. Have any of you have had one of these problems?

Hello, Is it possible to retrieve MXF metadata with ffmpeg? Is there way to extract metadata from any format? I see that there is a -metadata flag but this only allows one to set metadata. Thanks
