[FFmpeg-devel] Need FFmpeg consulting work - TV recording system project workflow with v4l2

2018-06-01 Thread Compn
Forwarding consulting job offer to mailing list with
permission from sender. -Compn :


Hi,

we are a transcription company that does transcription of broadcast
news. For that purpose, we need several TV stations constantly recorded
in chunks. We have developed software to do that for us more than 10
years ago. But, we don't have the internal bandwidth to maintain and
upgrade the software as we go on. So, we are still using Linux kernel
2.4 and video4linux interface. We have to use old, no longer produced
PC's and video capture cards.

We need a recording system that uses current technology. As far as our
recording requirements go, they are very low end. We don't need high
quality video to watch. On the contrary, we need as small files as
possible. Our current recordings are 1 frame per second, quite small
screen size and highly compressed with RealMedia codecs. We really only
need the audio. Video is just for speaker identification purposes. So,
quality and fluidity is not a requirement.

Our current system records both video+audio and audio only versions
concurrently. It records in chunks, typically 5 or 10 minute chunks
continuously 24x7. There is a 10-15 second overlap between recordings
so the transcripts can be matched together in assembly.

We also capture CC (closed caption) text. Our current software may
still work with newer kernels. I'm not sure if there was any change to
the VBI interface.

We would like to hire a developer to either update our software or
write a new one to do the recordings on current technology (kernels,
computers, capture cards, sound cards, etc.)

If you are interested, please email me at sozt...@ascllc.net.

Best,

Selcuk Ozturk

VP of Technology

ASC LLC

PS: If you are not interested, but know someone who is and you think is
capable, please pass this along to that person.

i think mkv re-uses riff list from avi on purpose, as it was meant as a
replacement to avi (and has all the vfw codec tags in the spec).
duplicating mkv and avi seems like a bad idea as they use the same tags.

that would also be a nightmare to maintain and users would ask for

as fourcc maintainer i approve carls patch to add h265.

while i like james's idea, it would create a duplicated mess
of fourcc lists in each container. the fourcc problem got worse as
more people were using mov tags in avi, which is why the hack was
requested to have the avi container look at the isom list. saving us
from duplicating the isom list in the avi list. mostly due to apple
users needing an intermediate format for their apple codecs.

i would be extremely against splitting and duplicating the
decoding fourccs again. internal and external fourccs like VLC and
mplayer would be the end game to that. ugh.

my idea would be to create a whitelist of codec ids we can encode to,
instead of splitting up the decode fourcc list amongst formats.

that way we fully control which fourcc we support in which codecs on
the encoder side (avienc, movenc). and we dont mess with the decoder
fourccs at all.

please let me know if my idea would work, i am probably missing some
huge flaw somewhere...

I still have not seen an argument for why politics should not be

no one limited our website statements to US-only.   

There have only been two statements by ffmpeg on non-ffmpeg internet
items in the past 10+ years, looking at the news and archived news.

http://ffmpeg.org/archive.html

November 20, 2011
 FFmpeg supports the fight against American Internet censorship.

and then the widget we are discussing today.

I see some people complaining about so much politics, but two posts in
10 years ? that is what you are upset about ? 

please help me understand your problem with this.
Aside from these, which i think everyone is in agreement with.
1. popup ad is annoying , news entry would be better
2. no reason to have a popup page on the docs pages.

i'm not trying to be dismissive, i want to understand. please explain
the problem.

also no one has said why net neutrality is political at all. its a
technical problem, and ffmpeg is all about technical problems.

ssl heartbleed was a technical problem that was also posted to our news
page. i dont remember the vitriol about that ssl news post.

i'm not objecting.

but if you put a error message that explains what a person needs when
it errors , that might also be a good idea (and it would also only be

just you wait until net neutrality is really dead. your rival

slowed or de-listed from the internet, kieran.

Then you can just pay the ISP $5k per year to get off the slow list.

unless you think AT or Verizon will be fair.

ffmpeg's reputation is based on its code.
not its developers. not its website.
not any of its activism or news entries.
not any of us, not the mailing lists, not the irc, not the trac.

or i could be wrong.
any changes of internet policy are going to affect everyone in different

I would prefer a static news post. Not because of security issues, I
just dont like popups. 

For security, any developers complaining in this thread about security
issues should be whitelisting javascript only, and disabling javascript
everywhere else. Complaining about a 3rd party javascript, in this day
and age, means you've already thrown in the towel on your browser
security.

or in lieu of a news post, make the widget only on ffmpeg.org/index ,
not on DOCS pages. I ran into the widget a few times too when it was
misbehaving.

I am not objecting outright, net neutrality is pretty important.

And yes, you foreigners should be helping the USA with this, as
THIS WILL affect the backbones. how many internet backbones are owned
by US companies? non-usa people can help in some ways:

1. ask friends in usa to help
2. post on your own blogs and websites, spread the word
3. contact your local political representatives to tell them how net
neutrality is important.

in ffmpeg we generally try not to create new original internal fourcc /
isom tags. because then people think our tag is the real spec tag, and
then bad things happen.

if another software uses the tag or the sample of that tag is in the
wild then we use it.

i dont know enough about aptx / aptx hd to make an opinion. 

some codecs make different tags for stupid things, like sony hdcam
has different tags for different fps. we support these tags because
other software uses them and samples exist in the wild.

not sure if i've helped here.

please upload or link to one of these RGB48 samples and ffmpeg will
support it.

i think i can clear up the confusion between you and michael.

michael does not want to add in a defined way to do other bitdepths
without the spec people agreeing on a spec for this.

michael does want to support your higher bitdepth ffv1 samples. 

the confusion was because he thought you wanted to modify the spec /
encoder and not just the ability to decode such files.

hope this helps.

i think the argument that historically -cvslog was a place to discuss
commits was true. presently no one discusses commits on -cvslog.

this change seems to be common sense.

i understand carls' argument but i also understand -cvslog mailing
lists have evolved to make things easier and simpler for developers to
not have to follow two lists for discussion.

also possibly git log has replaced -cvslog for many developers.

as said on irc, emergency moderation is the standard and expected tool
for ml admins to use to stomp out flame wars.

When this option is enabled, all list traffic is emergency moderated,
i.e. held for moderation. Turn this option on when your list is
experiencing a flamewar and you want a cooling off period.


emergency moderation is part of an ml admins job. it is not something i
thought up, invented, or wrote guidelines for. it is not something i
enjoy either.

[FFmpeg-devel] CoC enforcement activated

2017-12-17 Thread Compn
http://ffmpeg.org/developer.html#Code-of-conduct

5 Code of conduct

Be friendly and respectful towards others and third parties. Treat
others the way you yourself want to be treated. 

Be considerate. Not everyone shares the same viewpoint and priorities
as you do. Different opinions and interpretations help the project.
Looking at issues from a different perspective assists development. 

Do not assume malice for things that can be attributed to incompetence.
Even if it is malice, it’s rarely good to start with that as initial
assumption. 

Stay friendly even if someone acts contrarily. Everyone has a bad day
once in a while. If you yourself have a bad day or are angry then try
to take a break and reply once you are calm and without anger if you
have to. 

Try to help other team members and cooperate if you can. 

The goal of software development is to create technical excellence, not
for any individual to be better and "win" against the others. Large
software projects are only possible and successful through teamwork. 

If someone struggles do not put them down. Give them a helping hand
instead and point them in the right direction. 

Finally, keep in mind the immortal words of Bill and Ted, "Be excellent
to each other."

enough fighting on the mailing list.

emergency moderation has now been enabled.

why do i have to enforce the COC?

the ffmpeg-devel mailing list is for technical discussions of
developing ffmpeg. personal insults will not be tolerated.

did you resend your patchset without the header included? sorry i am
too busy to even read the list right now.

maybe the patchset without the included header could get reviewed some
more and possibly applied while we wait for the external repo changes.

remember we are mostly volunteers working on ffmpeg. which means we all
have regular non-ffmpeg jobs.

i also prefer including headers into ffmpeg. only for the big 3 intel

with this. but its also not my call, just my personal opinion.

to make it easier on users who dont have to go around looking for sdk

no reason to continue these flames and not on the mailing list
for sure.

nicolas is entitled to his opinion and licensing choices. no single dev
speaks for the entire project.

wm4 is entitled to fork whatever open source project he wants, and hes
welcome to post here and review patches and be a developer.

as an mplayer user who had to go looking to find a bunch of sdk headers
and hope that the instructions written 2 years ago still point to a
working URL, i feel a lot of pain in this thread.

svn has svn externals, where a svn checkout would pull from other svn
repositories.

i am assuming git has the same thing? if so these headers could go in
an external repo, but a ffmpeg git pull would pull them down? are there
any objections to that ?

that would cut down on our objections and maintainership and git
history concerns... i think? so long as its easy for non amd users to
flip a config switch to disable pulling those amd headers down.

depending on the complexity of the patch.

and assuming it passes fate...

just submit patch here , we'll review it.

even if ffmpeg does not accept it, its possible that other people will

[FFmpeg-devel] [rfc] coc violation tribunal

2017-04-24 Thread Compn
as a few developers have wondered...

how is our project to judge, report and punish coc violations?

since we had a vote to approve of the COC, we will probably need
another vote to approve of the COC rules.

do you want group consensus?
how big of a group? whos in the group?
who wants to do a bunch of crapwork telling devs to be nice in the
sandbox and stop throwing sand at each other or they'll get a timeout?

do you want irc/ml admins to handle it? e.g. lou and me set moderation
flags on developers and delete mails that are not development related?

who judges the judges?

what if we scare off devs who get frustrated that the COC was not fully
fairly applied to everyone? e.g. one dev gets moderated while another
skates ? thats where the strife gains momentum.

thoughts?

can you (or someone) come up with a simple starter howto and some
doc or description for what exactly needs to be done? maybe is there a
commit to a decoder showing what was done to make it threadsafe?

the howto would detail how to test for threadsafe , what tools to use,
what an unsafe thread does or looks like in valgrind or gdb etc?
showing devs to use AVOnce and list other ff/av functions to fix unsafe
code.

grep FF_CODEC_CAP_INIT_THREADSAFE * to get the list of codecs that are
thread safe. the rest need to be done, in order of useful codecs first?

i'm not saying we have to hold everyones hand, but a little
documentation, direction and clarity will go a LONG way in getting
things worked on. :)

i know the ffmpeg devs can do all of this in their sleep, backwards.
but if you take the time to write down the steps you take, just
once, maybe someone will read, learn and come to contribute.

i found these quick posts about threadsafe code, maybe they help
the curious. or maybe they arent applicable to ffmpeg at all.

[FFmpeg-devel] [rfc] tasks for new ffmpeg developers

2017-02-05 Thread Compn
people new to the project join #ffmpeg-devel and ask us for help on how
to start contributing to ffmpeg.

usually none of us have any cohesive answers. mostly suggestions are to
review bugs or patches or code. nothing really concise or organized.

i've reviewed a few bugs and think these may be good starting points
for new developers to try. they might also be useful for qualification
tasks in the future? i dont know.

i'm not sure how to organize these, maybe a trac keyword? for now ,
i'll just post them here. if you have comments, suggestions, or just
want to tell me that my idea is bad, please speak up.


these have specs / open source implementations:

i mean technically, if they put it on http where you can wget, you can
also ask them for source, since they distributed something based
on ffmpeg to you...

yes i noticed that too. oh well. i've made the changes to mplayer DOCS, 
although it would be nice to also have a backup ftp server for people using old 
docs and the old ftp url. (todo: update urls in the homepage repo).

> How are we supposed to access the samples?

files uploaded with the vlc http upload
http://streams.videolan.org/upload/

are immediately accessable publically here, with no login.
http://streams.videolan.org/ffmpeg/incoming/

i just tested and all seems to be working. aside from having to put in a vlc 
version for ffmpeg and mplayer.

has anyone reviewed the files in
http://streams.videolan.org/ffmpeg/ 
?

go to http://streams.videolan.org/
and there is a dir for mplayer and mplayer/incoming as well

videolan maintained the server, carl does most of the moving files to
our samples repo and bug trac.

but heres the new news from #videolan:

[05:41]  Compn, http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ should work
more or less

^ this is currently where we should send users to upload files. an http
uploader (not sure about resume support...).

[05:49]  Compn, there will be no ftp access to streams, ever
[05:50]  Compn, we're following the Great Leadership of
kernel.org

^^ this is the news on the ftp that we currently have in our docs. so
we should change all of our docs over to the http uploader.

also i suggest we ask for a backup ftp server from another host (by
applying this or similar patch), for those people who prefer to use ftp.

currently upload.ffmpeg.org points to streams.videolan.org , videolan
is currently hosting our incoming ftp server access.

videolan has been having trouble with it for a while. you can see posts
on the internet complaining about the automatic vlc bug reporter also
being down because of this.

what we need is someone to run a small ftp drop for large files, i
guess i'll post a patch for the ffmpeg.org page requesting such hosting
temporarily.

hi! it is impressive for a first patch! well done.

your patch is missing docs (document -huffman optimal by creating mjpeg

if mp2 is a problem, i would rather make it more difficult for the user
to encode mp2. by defaulting to mp3 and / or printing a warning message
about mp2. honestly i cant remember any good coming from someone using
mp2.

mp2 is dead, long live mp3.

also please share your mp2 sample, if you have not already done so, if
possible.

what about adding a comment like the prores/dv comments?
(or in a separate patch, make a nicer comment for prores,avid and dv?)

there are more than just these two AVID isoms.

a quick search reveals...

'AV1X': 'Avid 1:1x (Quick Time)',
'AVD1': 'Avid DV (Quick Time)',
'AVDN': 'Avid DNxHD (Quick Time)',
'AVMP': 'Avid IMX (Quick Time)',
'AVUP': 'Avid 10bit Packed (Quick Time)',

possibly AVin
sample here : http://samples.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-bugs/trac/ticket524/AVCI50.mov

do any of these isoms need to be added to the list in mov.c ?

otherwise, looks ok if tested with our av1x/avup samples.

it seems like there are at least a few developers who would feel better
if ffserver was removed from master / moved somewhere else to die etc.

these developers feel very strongly about removing ffserver.

it might be wise to follow the opinions of these developers in order to
have a higher morale and continue the working environment here in the
project.

otherwise some developers may feel betrayed, harmed, ignored, etc and
foster hatred because their opinions were not chosen.

so michael, my advice to you is to just OK the patch and deal with
ffserver later... if enough users come back to complain about its
demise. i feel that this discussion is going no where if both sides are
unable to come to a compromise.

sometimes you have to cut off the toe to save the patient. :)

if one wants to be worried about security issues, there are bigger fish
to fry.

for one example, how about any and all patches applied to ffmpeg by
various distros ?

https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html

because this is a real threat to our users' security. not some lost
commit key. we should be analyzing all distro patches and making sure
all CVE fixes get applied by distros as well.

our other developer policies help to mitigate any lost/stolen commit
keys anyway. public patch posting and mailing list review, static code
analyzing etc.

has any developer come back from the proverbial "dead" , like say
fabrice, to make a new commit? no. would we take notice if he did? yes
of course. have developers had write access, been hired by large
multinational corporations, stopped developing ffmpeg as a hobby, and
then come back years later to work on ffmpeg as part of their
employment? yes! multiple times.

just my personal opinion. theres really not much difference between
keeping old author accounts or deleting old author accounts from a real
world perspective.

one plan just takes some precious time away from the busy developer.
because he has to make a list, and check it twice, just to find out who
is naughty and who is nice.

he sees when you are active... he sees when you are inactive...

sure, ffmpeg has support for many pixel formats and adding more
pixfmts is not a problem.

my best answer would be to look at commits which add other pixel
formats and just follow how they were added to libswscale. make some
fate tests, and it should be done.

hopefully you have test samples made of these pixfmts you want to add.
that makes testing for us easier, as we can test on multiple cpu
arch's to make sure the code is safe and works.

ehe, well.. do your homework before assuming things. ;)

rich felker , who wrote musl, was an mplayer and ffmpeg? developer
actually.

he wrote musl because everyone hated glibc.

i contacted both him and even mike melanson (vp3 decoder author)

i dont doubt its a bug in vp3 that needs to be rewritten.
but we also go to extreme lengths to blame others... ;D

musl could handle it better sure, but should they really write a full
c-checker into their lib? would make it as bloated as glibc!

vp3 is a decoder written 10+ years ago by a dev who is no longer
active in ffmpeg.

we have many decoders and encoders (and other code) in ffmpeg that have
not been audited (to my knowledge).

i know this isnt an excuse for not looking at the code. just letting
you know the history.

please dont think carl's tone is unpleasant, maybe he is just
incredulous.

carl has tested and verified thousands of bugs for ffmpeg. carl also
fixes some of them. carl i think was confused by your comment, because
carl would like to reproduce the bug. reproducing the bug with an easy
command line, on a dev computer usually makes the bug finding and fixing
quicker.

do you have any suggestions for how the ffmpeg project could do
successful code audits?

we have static code analyzers like coverity running on ffmpeg. there
has also been a lot of fuzz testing done. i'm sure some of the more
popular decoders like h264 have had code audits done in private.

i really dont see much enthusiasm for line by line code auditing within
ffmpeg. in fact, i'd say people would rather re-write an entirely new
piece of code than try to clean up the old code. this isnt a knock on
anyone or any piece of code, just my observation.

feel free to tell me that i am wrong.

there is qt fast start feature in ffmpeg. which is similar , but for

i am not sure if the devs want this feature to be copied into mkv, you

so only 80, 1935 ? rtmp uses some other ports too. 443 etc.

i am not against patch, i hope there is a way to fix this.

do we have any apple contacts to report this bug?

[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] beginner difficulty bug trac tag for new open source developers

2016-07-03 Thread compn
hello

about once a month (also, around OPW/GSOC time) we get people in
#ffmpeg-devel or the ml asking about contributing to ffmpeg. i think we
need to try to organize something for new contributors.

usually there is only one or two devs alive (including me) to guide
newbies. most times these want-to-be devs already have knowledge of
git, make, etc and have c or c++ programming skills.

what they ask for is an easy way to start or easy bugs to look at.

so my proposed idea is to make a tag or priority on the bug tracker for
"easy" bugs. that way new contributors can look at a list of bugs that
are easy to fix.

what i need from you, fellow reader:

1. do you think this is a good idea? or do you have other ideas to help?
maybe write a newbie developer guide for developer documentation? is
there any knowledge from the OPW/gsoc mentors that we should put in the
developer docs?

2. what the name of this bug tag should be? "easy bugs" ? "beginner
difficulty" ?

3. are there other oss projects out there that already help new
contributors? can we steal something from them?

i'm not sure what criteria would make for an easy bug vs a hard bug.
but i'd rather leave that open to whoever adds/reviews the bug. i think
we all agree adding a codec tag or documentation is easier than adding
3d mvc h264 support.

i'm also not suggesting tagging every bug with a difficulty rating , as
that would take a while and i'm not sure of the benefit. i just want to
have a solid number (100-300+) of bugs that are somewhat easy to
understand, implement, review and finish.

have a great summer (for those in the northern hemisphere),

you are aware that we have voted in a code of conduct.[1]

you may want to review it, again.

way.

i like the idea of moderating certain members, when they start in with
insults. assuming we vote in the CoC...

i personally enjoy free speech to insult everyone but , democracy :P
