Basic Usage

from ffmpeg_streaming import Formats, Bitrate, Representation, Size

_360p = Representation(Size(640, 360), Bitrate(276 * 1024, 128 * 1024))
_480p = Representation(Size(854, 480), Bitrate(750 * 1024, 192 * 1024))
_720p = Representation(Size(1280, 720), Bitrate(2048 * 1024, 320 * 1024))

hls = video.hls(Formats.h264())
hls.representations(_360p, _480p, _720p)
hls.output('/var/media/hls.m3u8')

python-ffmpeg-video-streaming's Issues

save_to_clouds always raises TypeError

When using example of AWS cloud with some modification I came to discover that save_to_clouds method will always raise TypeError no matter what

Use AWS cloud example code and try it with hls.

def save_to_clouds(clouds, dirname):
    if clouds is not None:
        if type(clouds) != list or type(clouds) != tuple:
            raise TypeError('Clouds must be type of list or tuple')

This condition here should be and and not or because in this case for now it will always raise TypeError no matter what is the type of clouds

Also I have modified the example as the one given in the repo did not work for me. I do not know if it is outdated or I was doing something wrong. Still, here it is:

Add option to change hls_time for better scrubbing

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently when you scrub video in case of HLS, for e.g. in VLC, it gets scrubbed to nearest 10 sec segment. I checked the code and found that hls_time is set to 10 in _command_builder.py

Describe the solution you'd like
Probably the same way minrate/maxrate is set in Reprensentation

Hi,

Is it possible to specify an additional output, e.g. for one or more Thumbnails?

Updating a .m3u8 file

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

problem with paths

Describe the bug
Hi, great project you have here.

I am however having a problem with paths. I am using a post request to kick off the hls stream. The problem I am having seems to be with white-space in the file path. i.e /path/to/file.mkv works perfectly however /path/to the/file of choice.mkv raises an ffmpeg runtime error that the path does not exist. (runtimeERROR: path /path/to does not exist)

I believe this is due to the terminal commands for ffmpeg as if I call ffmpeg in the terminal using quotes around white-space parts i.e /path/"to the"/"file of choice".mkv then the command works.

I removed the path checks in the programme to test a quoted path and I still got the error, this time (runtimeERROR: path /path/"to the"/"file of choice".mkv doesnt exist).

I do not understand enough of the python code to dig deeper here. New to coding.

Ive tried the pathlib library to create pureWindows path before sending to the create hls stream but this didn't work either

I am sure there is a simple solution to this I am not seeing, but im just not sure. Id appreciate and help!

Thanks :)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. try to use a path with white-space
2. See error

Expected behavior
paths with white-space to work same as those without

Local machine (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• FFMpeg 4.2.1

Additional context
I am sure there is a simple solution I am missing!

Transcodes mp4-file on AWS Cloud to audio only...

Hey aminyazdanpanah,

Amazing code thank you very much for this. When I run the script aws_clouds.py from examples, it seems to transcodes my test key .mp4 file on my bucket in .m3u8 and .ts files using hls. method. It also correctly saves them on my local machine. Strangely all files only store the audio lines.. When I run the final .m3u8 on a browser from S3 it only shows the audio of the key .mp4 file. Might this be a bug?

Thank you in Advance. I know you are strict with questions but you might have an idea...

Broadcasting adaptive streaming Video to all the users

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am working on a personal project and I need a way to broadcast same stream to every user. But it should be an adaptive video. Can you please tell me how that can be achieved.

For example - a video file played to all the users logged in everyone sees the same stream but adaptive.

I know this does not come under this library. But, if you can point me to some right resources to do that

Formats is not defined

stream = video.stream2file(Formats.h264()) returns a not defined error.

Bug if `clouds` is a tuple (automatically throws a TypeError).

Describe the bug
Within clouds.py the following is a bug:

def save_to_clouds(clouds, dirname):
    if clouds is not None:
        if type(clouds) != list or type(clouds) != tuple:
            raise TypeError('Clouds must be type of list or tuple')
    ....

Note that if clouds is a tuple then the TypeError will be raised because it is not a list. or and and expressions short circuit in python so if the first expression is true it won't go to the next:

print(2 or 3) # Outputs 2
print(0 or 3 or 2) # Outputs 3

Similarly types should not be checked via ==, isinstance if the preferred way to do it in python 🐍, but truly I just need this one spot fixed for my code to work in our docker containers.

Please change the above to:

def save_to_clouds(clouds, dirname):
    if clouds is not None:
        if not isinstance(clouds, (list, tuple)): # Tested in my fork
            raise TypeError('Clouds must be type of list or tuple')
    ....

Spent quite a few hours trying to figure out why my coding was failing even though I gave it a tuple :P.

.mkv fails to transcode

Describe the bug
Can't convert to HLS.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Representation how to keep aspect ratio

Hi,

is there an option to keep the aspect ratio, when using manual Representations?
Also when using auto_generate_representations original resolution will also be put out.

hls.auto_generate_representations([1080, 720, 480])

When I used this with a 4k file, I also got a 4k stream. Is there an option to only output the specified sizes?

Thanks for the awesome library!

I wish to have H265 codec using Apple "hevc_videotoolbox". Is there a way to use it or
any plan to provide the functionality in near future?

Ability to use from Video Frames

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

I have a system whereby I use opencv to capture frames and process. I will like to make use of your code, to stream these frames using the HLS protocol to a remote device in real-time.

I think the process is to first figure out to write the video file in 10 seconds chucks to an iO buffer, and get your package to process from there. Will that be possible please?

Setting custom ffmpeg/ffprobe binary path

I'd like to use python-ffmpeg-video-streaming and set a custom path to the ffmpeg and ffprobe binaries (as opposed to using the value found in the path), as I have multiple custom ffmpeg builds available on my system.

I see the run_command call in _media.py:
run_command: bool = True, ffmpeg_bin: str = 'ffmpeg', monitor: callable = None, **options):

And in _command_builder.py:
def command_builder(ffmpeg_bin: str, media):

How can I override this value without having to modify the code myself & recompile?

Subtitles not displaying—due to not being referenced in manifest?

Thanks for writing this very handy utility!

I have transcoded a video containing a single subtitle track. The renditions do contain separate segmented .vtt files (see screenshot), but subtitles do not show up when the video is viewed in Safari or Chrome using an embedded video.js instance.

I think the problem is that there is no reference to the subtitle files in the manifests (see, for example, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39631349/hls-live-streaming-subtitle).

I'd be very grateful if you could fix this!

Edit: I have gotten subtitles to appear by hand-editing the master playlist to reference the subtitle media playlists.

Stream to RTMP Server

I'm trying to send processed video frames to an nginx instance running the rtmp extension. From there the video is streamed to the clients. Is there a way write to an rtmp endpoint?

How to know the original resolution of the video?

I am trying to transcode the video in 144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p resolutions.

Now if the original video is in 144p, then it makes no sense to encode the video in higher resolutions.

So is there any way to know in which resolution the original video is in?

Using list in hls.presentations()

Hi,

When I try to pass a list to HLS presentations function I get an error as below:

File "/var/../env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ffmpeg_streaming/_hls_helper.py", line 87, in stream_info
    f'BANDWIDTH={rep.bitrate.calc_overall}',
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'bitrate'

This is my code

presetList = []
rep_1  = Representation(Size(1920,1080), Bitrate(4096 * 1024, 320 * 1024))
                    presetList.append(rep_1)
rep_2 = Representation(Size(1440, 900), Bitrate(2048 * 1024, 320 * 1024))
                    presetList.append(rep_2)

video =  "file.mp4"
video = ffmpeg_streaming.input(video)
completed_destination = "completed.m3u8"
hls = video.hls(Formats.h264())
hls.representations(presetList)
hls.output(completed_destination)

Now, if I run hls.representations(rep_1, rep_2) it works fine but not when I pass a list.

Does anyone know why this error occurs?

my code

    video = ffmpeg_streaming.input(fp)

CMAF support

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
CMAF is a newer packaging method that claims to save server space by half and provide low latency.
Here's a description of the same.
It seems FFMPEG also supports this. However, I am absolutely unaware of the switches to be used to make things work.

Describe the solution you'd like

mpd streaming issue

After generating the dash playlist I am checking it for the list should play in all different versions. But it's playing only for top resolution. In my case, I have made it for _360p, _480p, _720p,_1080p but when I am accessing it through the master dash file so it's playing for only the 1080p version. A little help will be appreciated

Thanks in advance.

Specifying minrate, maxrate and buffsize per representation

Hi,

is it possible to specify minrate, maxrate and buffsize per output?
I looked through the source but couldn't find an option.

Moreover the hls master playlist just uses die bitrate specified in the representation. The real bitrate is different from that and this could make problems.

ultrafast args

Ability to define path of the file to load/upload in cloud storages

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There should be an option to pass file path of S3 in ffmpeg_streaming.input() and video.outpu()

Describe the solution you'd like
For eg, if my file is present on S3 at path media/raw/file.mp4 then while calling ffmpeg_streaming.input() there should be a parameter to define the path of the file or existing key parameter should support the value as medta/raw/file.mp4. The same thing should happen when calling .outpu() (file should be saved at a defined location).

TypeError: blob() got an unexpected keyword argument 'folder'

Describe the bug
Getting unexpected keyword argument 'folder'for google cloud storage

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
from ffmpeg_streaming import GCS, CloudManager, Formats
import logging
import os
import ffmpeg_streaming

logging.basicConfig(filename='streaming.log', level=logging.NOTSET, format='[%(asctime)s] %(levelname)s: %(message)s')

Create a service account key from here: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/serviceaccountkey

os.environ["GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS"] = "./creds.json"

if you are on windows, the path should be like: "C:\User\username\Desktop\[YOUR-CREDENTIALS].json"

gcs = GCS()

save_to_gcs = CloudManager().add(gcs, bucket_name="writtn", folder="live_stream/test")

A filename can also be passed to the CloudManager class to change the filename(e.x. CloudManager(filename="hls.m3u8"))

#video = ffmpeg_streaming.input(gcs, bucket_name="writtn", object_name="video.mp4")

you can also open a file from a local path

video = ffmpeg_streaming.input("./test.mp4")

hls = video.hls(Formats.h264())
hls.auto_generate_representations()

hls.output(clouds=save_to_gcs)

# you can also pass a local path to save a copy of files to your server

Expected behavior
it should have taken folder name argument as described.
