ffmpeg 6 render failed

[fly74]

Hi Chris. I updated ffmpeg to version 6.

The rendering seems to be processed but failed.

where can I see the commandline which is used to render the pics?

[cmuche]

Hi @fly74 As I can see FFmpeg doesn't crash immediately. What OS are you using? On a Linux system you can take a look in the process list via top or htop while FFmpeg is running.

[fly74]

You're right missed to check ps. The line is:

ffmpeg -y -framerate 30 -i %05d.jpg -r 30 -qscale:v 1 F_%05d.jpg -hide_banner -loglevel verbose -progress pipe:1 -nostats

How the loop for the pictures build?

OS: Opensuse Leap 15.4 - ffmpeg from GIT v6

This line has no error all F_*.jpg are made.

[cmuche]

Is it the output from when you tried to run the command mynually or the OctoPrint log? Can't see any error there... I'll give it a try myself with FFmpeg 6. Maybe I can reproduce it. Could you maybe upload your used Frame Collection for that? Does your machine have sufficient memory? Maybe your disk and/or RAM is running full. Especially the rendering process can take quite some disk space.

[fly74]

Disk >900GB free, memory and CPU is sufficient it's an Intel NUC. That was from my commandline. No logs of octoprint are containing ffmpeg. I see the generation of the F_*.jpg pics on the disk and then they are deleted immediately. You can use any collection of images. All of mine don't work. Is there a debug log to enable for the plugin output?

[fly74]

octoprint.log only this:

[cmuche]

I just pushed a solution which logs the FFmpeg output to a file. Could you maybe install this version and try out again? https://github.com/cmuche/octoprint-timelapseplus/archive/refs/heads/66-ffmpeg-6-render-failed.zip

Then you should get a ffmpeg_log.txt in your timelapse folder. If FFmpeg crashes, you'll also get the output as a notification in your browser. This should help to identify the error.

[fly74]

Then you should get a ffmpeg_log.txt in your timelapse folder.

That should be a hint:

Unrecognized option 'crf'.
Error splitting the argument list: Option not found

[fly74]

Can you give me final render ffmpeg command for the pics, so I can play around.

[cmuche]

Hi @fly74

The Unrecognized option 'crf'. error is confusing since this is only used in the 'Encoding' phase, not the 'Rendering' phase as your first screenshot shows. Also your tested command is the one from the 'Rendering' phase. Timelapse+ uses FFmpeg twice in its rendering pipeline.

But first of all: What version of Timelapse+ are you using?

Could it be that your FFmpeg version doesn't include libx264? You can run ffmpeg -encoders to see which encoders are available. Assuming you are using a Timelapse+ version >= 1.1.0: Are you able to render in other Format Presets?

Only MP4 and WEBM can't be rendered, the other formats are working.

Okay... Now I guess I see what the problem is: Your FFmpeg doesn't have the needed encoders:

• libvpx-vp9
• libvpx
• libx264
• libx265

See: https://superuser.com/a/1641500

Ok I compiled it with

ffmpeg: ./configure --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl

and it is working. My fault. But can you make an encoder check before encoding?

Thanks for you research with me.

@fly74

Checking for the installed encoders would be possible. I can add this to the backlog and get on that in the future.
