Docker is not displaying the video file's time. about ffplayout

[cooliobr]

Nice to hear! But please have in mind that you can not publish an image with ffmpeg non free option. If you want to can create a pull request with a Dockerfile.

yes, i know.. i will do it when finish

[jb-alvarado]

v0.17.0 is out and both issues should be fixed, so I can can close here. 🙂

[jb-alvarado]

Not in a special way, the program just runs the system command: ffprobe ..., the same way it calls ffmpeg.

I have some more issues, also in the GUI, so I remove latest beta.

[jb-alvarado]

Ah ok, then we let it like it is. On alma image I removed it, because there it just install ffmpeg and not compile it.

[jb-alvarado]

The progress bar from upload dialogue is not filled correctly, so it could be that the upload is finished, but it looks like is not. When it shows done... it should be fine.
About the missing video duration, I don't know, maybe @0DUDDU has an idea? Maybe ffprobe is missing? Is there any logging?

[cooliobr]

ffprobe is ok, i test it manual, tomorrow I will test more

[0DUDDU]

Hello, can you share content of playlist file in /var/lib/ffplayout/playlists/ ?

btw I'm using it in folder mode

[jb-alvarado]

I created the latest beta. When we fix this issue I will create a final release.

[0DUDDU]

an other info, don't know if it's related but I know that docker run a bit differently on macOS compared to Linux

I tested the upload and it's working fine for me, but I'm using k8s so not really docker

about the timing not showing in playlist, got same problem, the browse endpoint return a duration of 0 for every file

btw ffprobe is working fine

[cooliobr]

my work environment is:
HOST = Ubuntu 18.04
Nvidia Tesla k80
Nvidia RTX3060

Docker image = Centos 7
ffmpeg from "fromsource.Dockerfile" without Nvidia

Ps.: If I install it directly on the HOST machine, everything works perfectly. ( .deb )

[0DUDDU]

Ok I have found the problem
stderr: "ffprobe: error while loading shared libraries: libavdevice.so.59: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory\n" }

but it's strange, the lib is available

how do you call ffprobe ? @jb-alvarado

[cooliobr]

Not in a special way, the program just runs the system command: ffprobe ..., the same way it calls ffmpeg.

I have some more issues, also in the GUI, so I remove latest beta.

i was testing the last beta... heheheh
now i will try to use docker with nvenc+ffmpeg

[0DUDDU]

FYI, the duration seems to work here

[jb-alvarado]

Yes, but this duration comes not from ffprobe. Normally I also use a static build from ffmpeg and ffprobe, maybe that makes the different. It could also help to install ffmpeg/ffprobe to /usr/bin.

[0DUDDU]

After further test, I have found what is missing. The ffpu user doesn't have the path to lib in env
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64:/usr/local/lib

I will open a PR soon to fix this for docker

[0DUDDU]

Here it is #298

[jb-alvarado]

Super, thank you! The upload issue should also be fixed.

[jb-alvarado]

@0DUDDU, I have think again about this issue, and I though why not using prefix /usr, instead of /usr/local. Then this override.conf should not be needed.

[0DUDDU]

It's better to separate local executables from other, https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch04s09.html
And the build/install of ffmpeg from source is done in /usr/local and then it copy all the content of /usr/local into same place in the image, so if we build it in /usr it will copy some unecessary files. If we copy /usr/local to /usr it may override system libs

[cooliobr]

I made some modifications to use CUDA and Nvidia, and added some paths for better performance. After that, I will export the image for everyone to use.

[jb-alvarado]
