Using that example works fine for you, right? It does for me. (I would
probably simplify the example using the "scale2ref", "hstack" and
"vstack" filters, but that's not the point.)

Oh, indeed.

Yes, but first:

Though I can read bash, could you kindly provide us the actual
resulting command line (perhaps extracted using "bash -x"), and
ffmpeg's complete, uncut console output?

I do have a suspicion: Your framerates (or image timings), and perhaps
your resolutions, don't align very well. We may see from the output
log. Perhaps we can recommend some additional options or filters to
add.

Cheers,
Moritz

[FFmpeg-user] creating a grid like Zoom

2020-05-19 Thread Michael Glenn Williams
Hi All,

We tried following the examples of making grids when reading live streams
liek this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffmpeg/comments/aimdx9/ffserver_video_grid_source_ffserver_http_ts/

With the example:
$ ffmpeg -i '
http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4'
-i '
http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4'
-i '
http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4'
-i '
http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4'
-filter_complex
"nullsrc=size=640x480[base];[0:v]scale=320x240[upperleft];[1:v]scale=320x240[upperright];[2:v]scale=320x240[lowerleft];[3:v]scale=320x240[lowerright];[base][upperleft]overlay[tmp1];[tmp1][upperright]overlay=x=320[tmp2];[tmp2][lowerleft]overlay=y=240[tmp3];[tmp3][lowerright]overlay=x=320:y=240"
-an -dn -sn -c:v "libx264" -crf "23" -preset "faster" -f "mpegts" udp://
239.0.0.1:1234

We wrote the output into a file output.mkv for testing. However when we
playback the file it has a terrible flickering, see this output sample:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/58gj99u0ezplscw/output.mkv?dl=0

Any thoughts on what we are doing wrong?

The actual bash code is something like this:
FFMPEG='ffmpeg -y'
for (( p=1; p<=$PIPES; p++ ))
do
 FFMPEG="$FFMPEG -f rawvideo -video_size ${WIDTH}x${HEIGHT} -pix_fmt bgr24
-i unix://tmp/CoreFxPipe_VideoPipe$p"
done

FFMPEG="$FFMPEG -filter_complex \"nullsrc=size=${FULLWIDTH}x${FULLHEIGHT}
[background]"

LAST="background"
VY=$(($HEIGHT*-1))
for (( p=0; p<$PIPES; p++ ))
do
 OFFX=$(($p%$X))
 if [ $OFFX -eq 0 ]
 then
VY=$(($VY+$HEIGHT+1))
 fi
 VX=$(($OFFX*$WIDTH))
 if [ $p -eq $(($PIPES-1)) ]
 then
FFMPEG="$FFMPEG [${LAST}][$p:v] overlay=shortest=1:x=$VX"
 else
FFMPEG="$FFMPEG [${LAST}][$p:v] overlay=shortest=1:x=$VX [$LAST+v$p];"
 fi

 LAST="$LAST+v$p"
done

FFMPEG="$FFMPEG\" output.mkv &"
