4K MP4 from GoPro not playing

Gegele1 commented 2 years ago

Hi, Thank you for this plugin very useful for adding HD clips or video to my piwigo photo server. It works very well with my HD videos coming from Canon or Sony cameras, but I cannot get to play video clips from my 4K GoPro, using whatever player version. The codec description of the clips is the following:

Flux 0 Codec : MPEG-H Part 2/HEVC (H.265)(hevc1) Langue: Anglais Type: vidéo Résolution vidéo: 3840x2160 Dimensions du tampon: 3840x2160Format décodé: Orientation: haut-gauche Couleurs primaires: ITU-R BT.709 Fonction de transfert de couleur: ITU-R BT.709 Espace colorimétrique: Gamme ITU-R BT.709 Flux 1 Codec: MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a) Langue: Anglais Type: Audio Canaux: Stéréo Fréquence d'échantillonnage: 48000 Hz Bits par échantillon: 32

my environment : Piwigo 11.5.0 Système d'exploitation: FreeBSD PHP: 7.4.23 [2021-12-02 13:33:32] MySQL: 5.5.5-10.5.12-MariaDB [2021-12-02 14:33:32] Bibliothèque graphique: GD 2.3.

Is this an issue or a limitation? If an issue, what could I do to fix it?

Many thanks again for the work done,

I found this issue because I am having the same problem. If it is a limitation, it would be good to provide the maximum number of pixels and frame rate that can be handled by the plugin, so that we can convert accordingly? I can't try it out right now, but I just responded here so that I can find the issue easily and comment after I have gathered more experience. I have used ffmpeg to convert a gopro video and it works well on piwigo, but I don't remember the full command.

Only a very few browsers support the HEVC H.265 codec. See e.g. here. This issue is not related with the plugin.
