Description

Capturing from analog card Terratec Cinergy 400 TV isn't possible in ffmpeg versions from 0.7.13 to 0.11.1. Capturing from and Terratec Cinergy XS USB is working fine. Both cards are proved OK for Linux and working with all of my other apps (tvtime, xawtv, mplayer, mencoder). See my discussion on linux-media http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/51055

I'm using Fedora 17 and tried different versions from 0.5.x with different hardware. The cards were tuned to Channel E10 (europe-west) and had good quality signal (analog cable).

The test results are

                          Cinergy XS USB  Cinergy 400 TV
0.5.10                    OK              OK
0.7.13                    OK              broken (differently, s.b.)
0.8.12                    OK              broken (differently, s.b.)
0.9.2                     OK              broken (differently, s.b.) 
0.9.2 (--enable-libv4l2)  OK              broken (like in title)
0.10.4 (--enable-libv4l2) OK              broken (like in title)
0.11.1                    OK              broken (differently, s.b.)
0.11.1 (--enable-libv4l2) OK              broken (like in title)

The detailed error from the broken test cases are below.

Further testing results in a regression introduced with version 70f7736 in 2009:

01058893  2010-09-12 19:44:45 OK
6ac6e3d   2010-09-23 03:40:06 OK
70f7736   2010-09-23 09:16:05 not OK
30b4ee79  2011-09-23 20:50:11 not OK

There seems to be a problem with setting the frame rate, because when the frame rate is given, the result is:

Status:	new → open

Typo: The regression was not introduced in 2009 but in 2010.

Needless to say, that I can perform additional tests on request.

comment:2 by Clément Bœsch, 12 years ago

Just to make sure, can you try this hack with an upstream FFmpeg?

diff --git a/libavdevice/v4l2.c b/libavdevice/v4l2.c

                framerate_q.den, framerate_q.num);
         tpf->numerator   = framerate_q.den;

(Since according to your report 70f7736 looks faulty).

Also, could you post a complete command line and output with -debug 1 (with an up-to-date tree but without the hack above) so we can have more information on the issue?

comment:3 by llarevo, 12 years ago

I don't know how to do this. I tried:

cd ffmpeg
git checkout 70f7736
gedit hack.patch

I copied your hack above and saved it in the file "hack.patch". After that, I did

patch -p0 < hack.patch 
can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Then I tried

patch -p1 < hack.patch 
patching file libavdevice/v4l2.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 694.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file libavdevice/v4l2.c.rej

Sorry - I have not really a clue what I'm doing there. I don't find the line

if (framerate_q.num && framerate_q.den) {

in the file "libavdevice/v4l2.c"

Can you give me a short advice how to "try this hack with an upstream FFmpeg"? What means upstream? Shall I try the hack with the most recent version? How can I get it with the git checkout command? If so, shall I configure with "--enable-libv4l2" or without?

Sorry, but this is the first time I deal with source code, so any advice is very appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Type "patch -p1" (and enter), then paste above code (from "diff" to ".den;" including the line break), and press Ctrl-D (twice), or save the code in a file and do patch -p1<file .

Thanks. I've two more questions.

What version shall I checkout prior to apply the patch?

Shall I then compile with "--enable-libv4l2" or without?

I tried

git tag

which gave me

I get

I took a look into libavdevice/v4l2.c. This file was obviously not updated by the checkout command.

That makes me wonder if one of your parameter isn't wrong: you specify -r 25 which might be not supported by your card. Can you make some tests with something simple such as:

./ffplay -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0

to see if it doesn't show anything? (for old version you might need to change v4l2 into video4linux2)

ffplay doesn't show anything and has to be killed by strg+c:

I forgot to mention here, that I made a short test with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. This is shipped with ffmpeg 0.5.x and working fine ootb. When I download the 0.11.1-ffmpeg and build it as described above, I get the same error as in Fedora f17.

Hello,

could you please try the following command with latest git version and report back? Thanks

ffplay -loglevel debug -f video4linux2 -probesize 32 /dev/video0

ffplay -loglevel debug -f video4linux2 -probesize 32 /dev/video0 works very good. Its playing the channel previously tuned on the device with a perfect picture. The TV Card is tuned to a good quality signal.

Replying to llarevo:

ffmpeg -loglevel debug -t 300 -f v4l2 -s vga -r 25 -i /dev/video0 out-vga-2M-5min.mpg

Does it work without "-r 25"?
Does ffplay work with "-r 25"?

Please (re)move -t 300 - it (unfortunately) does not do what you (and I) hope.

To llarevo: thanks for testing, I believe I know what causes this bug and I have just posted a patch on ffmpeg-devel mailing list for discussion. As Carl suggested, please do not use "-t 300". Also using "-r 25" or not will not make any difference since you are capturing from a TV card using the PAL standard for which the framerate is fixed at 25fps and cannot be changed (you will only get a warning).

comment:16 by llarevo, 12 years ago

All requested testcases were broken with the current git, except the ffplay commands without -r 25. In other words: ffmpeg doesn't work neither with or without -r 25, while ffplay does work only without -r 25.

Fixed by Giorgio Vazzana, please test current git head!

follow-up: 19 comment:18 by holden, 12 years ago

Thanks Carl.

I only wanted to add that if llarevo wants to test again with latest git head, the correct command to try is not:

ffmpeg -loglevel debug -f v4l2 -s vga -r 25 -i /dev/video0 out-vga-2M-5min.mpg

but:

ffmpeg -loglevel debug -f v4l2 -video_size vga -framerate 25 -i /dev/video0 out-vga-2M-5min.mpg

Options '-s' and '-r' are not valid options for v4l2 input device. To see the list of options please go to: http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-devices.html#video4linux2_002c-v4l2

Also, as I said earlier, using '-framerate 25' or not should not make any difference, since the framerate is fixed by a particular standard (like PAL or NTSC) and cannot be changed usually.

in reply to: 18 comment:19 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 12 years ago

Replying to holden:

Options '-s' and '-r' are not valid options for v4l2 input device.

-s works fine here...

comment:20 by llarevo, 12 years ago

ffmpeg compiled without --enable-lib4vl2: OK

ffmpeg -loglevel debug -f v4l2 -video_size vga -framerate 25 -i /dev/video0 out-vga-2M-5min.mpg
and
ffmpeg -loglevel debug -f v4l2 -s vga -framerate 25 -i /dev/video0 out-vga-2M-5min.mpg

All are working fine now :-)

ffmpeg compiled with --enable-lib4vl2: Still faulty

But there is still a problem using a ffmpeg compiled with --enable-libv4l2. Lots of errors are beeing generated while capturing:

comment:21 by llarevo, 12 years ago

Further tests show, that it's not possible to capture audio (i'm not familiar with ffmpeg, so i'm unsure if I did everything right)

Both tests create mpegs with a sound stream, but this is completely silent.

Capturing with mencoder and these settings works without any problems, I also have sound when watching tv with mplayer.

Hello,

for the issue of ffmpeg compiled with --enable-lib4vl2 I will try to look into that, although I am a bit busy these days so I can only work on it on weekends :(

For the audio issue, I'm sure it should work, it must be some settings. Sadly all the transmissions are in dvb-t now here in Italy, so I cannot test with analog TV.
I'd suggest you to try this: acquire only video with ffmpeg and see if you can hear something by running in another terminal:

arecord -D hw:SAA7134 -f cd | aplay

while you do that, open alsamixer and play around, in particular make sure you test all the capture inputs (Line 1, Line 2 and Video). If that works, ffmpeg should work too. Anyway this is probably another issue, so I'd kindly ask you to please open a new ticket.

ps. I've noticed with my card that if I set capture on Video, and run the command above, I see in alsamixer that something changes it back to Line 2. Once I switch to Video again I can hear the typical noise of untuned TV station.

follow-up: 24 comment:23 by llarevo, 12 years ago

Thanks a lot so far. At least I'm a step forward with the analog tv capturing. Just let me know when I shall perform more tests regarding the libv4l2-issue.

I going to discuss the sound issue on the ffmpeg-users mailing list first, because arecord doesn't work (some connection refused-error) and with

sox -c 2 -t alsa hw:1,0 -t alsa default

I get sound only with tvtime, mplayer or mencoder, but not with ffmpeg. Depending on the results of the discussion, I gonna open up another ticket.

Replying to llarevo:

Thanks a lot so far. At least I'm a step forward with the analog tv capturing. Just let me know when I shall perform more tests regarding the libv4l2-issue.

The libv4l2-issue is hopefully fixed, please test git head when you have time. Thanks.

comment:25 by llarevo, 12 years ago

Initial tests look very good. I will post detailed results later.

The error mentioned in comment 20, section "ffmpeg compiled with --enable-lib4vl2: Still faulty" appeares again in

Please test current FFmpeg git head, if there is a problem, please open a new ticket.

I mixed up the versions, sorry for that. Everything is still fine, no need for a new bug.
