even een snelle file in elkaar gezet als voorbeeld, zie config

als je dan start: ffserver -f bunny.conf

zie je hier een konijn http://localhost:8090/bunny.mjpeg

en hier de status http://localhost:8090/stat.html

In dit geval haal ik een rtsp stream binnen en voer die weer uit als mjpeg stream

Maar het kan nog super veel meer

https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffserver.html

Ik had het zelf nodig met 10 netwerk camera’s die per stuk maar 3 gelijktijdige streams aankunnen, door het door mijn eigen ffserver heen te gooien gebruik ik op elke camera maar 1 stream en kan ik het naar tientallen clients streamen.

Ook fijn als je een camera achter een router hebt zitten en je wel ergens een server hebt, kun je met ffserver die camera naar die server streamen en weer verder.

quality

-q:v 0 is highest quality -q:v 31 is lowest quality

get / calculate number of frames

ffmpeg -i FILENAME -f null /dev/null

or add this to ~/.bash_profile

_fps() {
    ffmpeg -i "$1" -f null /dev/null
}
alias fps=_fps

set volume of audio

ffmpeg -i input.wav -af "volume=0.5" output.wav

gifenc (with speed)

palette="/tmp/palette.png"
speed=5

filters="fps=15,scale=800:-1:flags=lanczos,setpts=(1/$speed)*PTS"

ffmpeg -v warning -i $1 -vf "$filters,palettegen" -y $palette
ffmpeg -v warning -i $1 -i $palette -lavfi "$filters [x]; [x][1:v] paletteuse" -y $2

calculate framerate to get a desired number of frames

say you have 2500 frames. You want to get 300 frames. 2500/300=8.3. Use 8.3 as input framerate and use 1 as output framerate. (or 83 as input framerate and 10 as output framerate)

  ffmpeg -r 8.3 -i input.mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 -q:v 0 -r 1 output.mp4

or

  ffmpeg -r 83 -i input.mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 -q:v 0 -r 10 output.mp4

etc

  ffmpeg -r 7.5 -f concat -i list.txt -vcodec mpeg4 -g 1 -q:v 0 -s 2048x1024 -r 1 -y output2.mov

limit total number of frames (not changing framerate)

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 -vframes 500 -q:v 0 output.mp4

cut / split video

offset & seek

offset video (0.5 sec) & seek/skip to position in audio (0.3 sec):

ffmpeg -itsoffset 0.3 -i video-input.mp4 -ss 0.5 -i audio-input.mp3 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -y output.mov

fix aspect ratio

..... -s 900x720 -aspect 16:9
