Recording audio from mic and speakers from commandline
by Mohan G 28 Sep '21

28 Sep '21

Hi, I am using ffmpeg version 2.4.7 on Fedora-21 workstation. I want to record audio, simultaneously from mic and speakers as separate streams. I am using the following command for it. ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f alsa -i default -acodec libmp3lame -map 0:0 -map 1:0 outfile.mkv But after executing this command in terminal, I have to goto "Volume Control" settings in GUI, then goto "Recording" tab, change the "capture from" of one channel to "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" (i.e., Mic) and the "capture from" of another channel to "Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" (i.e., Speakers). But how can this be done completely from command-line, for automating it to use in scripts. - Mohan

Low latency H.264 streaming with ffmpeg
by Greger Burman 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

I would like to hear from anyone who has experience with low latency video streaming and ffmpeg. In my application I take video from a PCIe capture device and stream live over network. The end to end latency must be below 200ms otherwise it is not usable. Let us assume that the network latency is near zero. This question is about encoder+decoder+buffering latency. Very low latency can be achieved when using the x264 encoder by using settings like tune zerolatency. From my own testing with x264 (without ffmpeg) I can confirm that this works. I have measured approx 90 ms (3 frames) of latency added by encoder+decoder combined. Awesome. Sadly I have been unable to get anywhere near those numbers when using ffmpeg and libx264. As player I use either ffplay or a dot-net player built on the ffmpeg libraries, with about equal results. The lowest end to end latency I have seen is 400-500ms. That includes capture latency also. Yes, there are many unknowns here. To help pin point the problem I used mjpeg streaming for comparison. Same everything except I change ffmpeg vcodec to mjpeg and format to mjpeg. I change nothing with ffplay. With mjpeg I now get approx 150ms end to end latency. Observation: x264 codec + mpegts format compared to mjpeg codec + mjpeg format adds about 300 ms (10 frames) latency. I have tried every ffplay-, ffmpeg- and libx264 setting that I believe relevant. Most have not made any noticable difference in latency. I will not list a lot of settings here. Here are the basic settings and commands that I have used. I can post more details on request. x264-preset: vcodec=libx264 thread_type=slice slices=1 # x264 profile=baseline level=32 preset=superfast tune=zerolatency intra-refresh=1 crf=15 x264-params=vbv-maxrate=5000:vbv-bufsize=1:slice-max-size=1500:keyint=60 $ ffmpeg -r 30 -f dshow -i video="devicename" -pix_fmt yuv420p -an -vpre x264-preset -f mpegts udp://127.0.0.1:8888 $ ffplay -fflags nobuffer -flags low_delay -framedrop -strict experimental udp://127.0.0.1:8888 Everything is run on Windows 7 64-bit, with 32-bit executables. ffmpeg version N-76539-g480bad7 Copyright (c) 2000-2015 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 5.2.0 (GCC) configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --disable-w32threads --enable-avisynth --enable-bzlib --enable-fontconfig --enable-frei0r --enable-gnutls --enable-iconv --enable-libass --enable-libbluray --enable-libbs2b --enable-libcaca --enable-libdcadec --enable-libfreetype --enable-libgme --enable-libgsm --enable-libilbc --enable-libmodplug --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libopus --enable-librtmp --enable-libschroedinger --enable-libsoxr --enable-libspeex --enable-libtheora --enable-libtwolame --enable-libvidstab --enable-libvo-aacenc --enable-libvo-amrwbenc --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libwavpack --enable-libwebp --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libxavs --enable-libxvid --enable-libzimg --enable-lzma --enable-decklink --enable-zlib libavutil 55. 5.100 / 55. 5.100 libavcodec 57. 15.100 / 57. 15.100 libavformat 57. 14.100 / 57. 14.100 libavdevice 57. 0.100 / 57. 0.100 libavfilter 6. 15.100 / 6. 15.100 libswscale 4. 0.100 / 4. 0.100 libswresample 2. 0.101 / 2. 0.101 libpostproc 54. 0.100 / 54. 0.100 cheers -- Greger Burman

Basically until all the streams are running fine the mosaic is perfect, but as soon as one of the input is missing all the mosaic stops and there is no way to let it start again. Another issue (minor actually) is that ffmpeg, before to compose the mosaic, needs to analyze all the streams so it takes a lot to start. Can anybody help me to find a solution please?

Adding user-defined SEI messages thru libavcodec/libx264
by SF 06 Jan '18

06 Jan '18

Hi, I am searching a way to insert private SEI messages before each picture when encoding with x264. As far as i see from the libx264.c code, it is not supported up to now. Am i correct ? If yes, i am willing to push patch to support this, but do you have a preferred way to do this (ie thru medata field of AVFrame ? thru sidedata of AVFrame ? ...) Thanks for your hints, Regards, SF

Syncing clips based on audio waveform?
by Arthur Wait 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Hi all, This is coming from out of left field I imagine, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a filter (or chain of filters) which would allow me to align/sync two video clips based on matches in their audio waveforms. I'm shooting events with multiple cameras and would like to either trim the clips to a precise, matching starting frame or generate a metadata "offset" marker indicating how far off one clip is from the other in time. Then I can trim the clips to match. Is this possible in ffmpeg (or anywhere else for that matter!)? Thanks very much! Art

Hi all, I am running fedora 20 with ffmpeg version N-51556-ge278500 Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the FFmpeg developers I also installed in /opt ffmpeg version N-72985-g7c3f7e6 Copyright (c) 2000-2015 the FFmpeg developers I need a set of steps/commands to convert this tape. I have plenty of audio tools installed - but not certain what else I might need. If anyone has done this before, please share your script. Kind regards, JD
