Player suitable for .266 file encoded by vevcapp

[asqarkababi]

After Encoding a video file from mp4 to 266 which Player is suitable for Playing this kind of Videos if i made a mistake i would be very Grateful for your help and appreciate it

[1div0]

First option: vvdecapp --bitstream R266.266 --y4m --output - | ffplay -i -

Second option: https://github.com/tbiat/FFmpeg

Thank your for your reply after i installed ffmpeg on Windows Linux Subsystem(WSL) i get an error that the file or directory doesnt exist could you help me on this matter Thank you

It seems you didn't include VVdeC support into this. Please have a look at the accompanying paper: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3474085.3478320

Make sure when building the FFmpeg from https://github.com/tbiat/FFmpeg you enable the required options (--enable-libvvdec).

Also, this FFmpeg only contains VVC demuxing, you are trying to do muxing. You'd need to build GPAC (built agaisnt this FFmpeg installation), and mux using MP4box.

See more info in Slide 12 of the paper presentation.

There is also the experimental player by Bitmovin (https://github.com/bitmovin/vvDecPlayer), its more suited towards playing around and demos than actually watching videos.

Other than that, there aren't any suitable players. Please ask around with the developers of the players (VLC, FFmpeg, Gstreamer, etc). I'm very curious myself.

[adamjw24]

Last but not least, the easiest way to watch VVC today is actually to build VVdeC using Emscripten and drop the binaries into vvcWebPlayer. There is a python script in there which starst a local server. Please mind that running VVdeC in a browser includes a performance hit of around 50% compared to native.

[asqarkababi]

Thank you so much for your answers are the above codes for windows or for Linux or MacOS ? sorry for my Questions im still a beginner in this field

[adamjw24]

FFmpeg is available for all systems. The web player will work with Chroma, Edge and Firefox, but not Safari. Don't know about vvDecPlayer.

[asqarkababi]

FFmpeg is not working for me i dont know what im doing wrong

[asqarkababi]

libvvdec, pic, openssl and libxml2 are not available to get enabled in my version of FFMPEG on Windows does it have another name and how is the command on Windows because this one is not working and i cant enable the options

[adamjw24]

You need to clone FFmpeg from the tbiat/FFmpeg repo, build it on your system and use the resulting executable. You cannot use the FFmpeg thats already there on your system.

[asqarkababi]

I will try it out thank you

[asqarkababi]

Thank you very much for your help FFMPEG works perfect now on my Computer so we can close this issue now

[MartinEesmaa]

Excuse me, @adamjw24. I have a problem for building tbiat/FFmpeg. I'm using MSYS2 x64. I'm building vvdec for MinGW and after building, I tried to configure in tbiat/FFmpeg, but I got a error and here is my full log:

Update, I looked at final lines of config.log:

require_pkg_config libvvdec libvvdec >= 1.1.0 vvdec/vvdec.h vvdec_get_version
check_pkg_config libvvdec libvvdec >= 1.1.0 vvdec/vvdec.h vvdec_get_version
test_pkg_config libvvdec libvvdec >= 1.1.0 vvdec/vvdec.h vvdec_get_version
pkg-config --exists --print-errors libvvdec >= 1.1.0
Package libvvdec was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libvvdec.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libvvdec', required by 'virtual:world', not found
ERROR: libvvdec >= 1.1.0 not found using pkg-config

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest

ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.

You need to export PKG_CONFIG_PATH pointing at the directory where is the libvvdec installed.

[MartinEesmaa]

@1div0, I tried everything let's say I used code export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/home/unknown/Desktop/vvdec/install", but it is failed that is not found. Here is my actions workfile on my self hosted runner: https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/libvvdec_fixmywin/runs/6433560429?check_suite_focus=true

• Martin Eesmaa

[1div0]

I was not precise enough. Let's try something similar to UNIX like systems

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig

As a check use:

pkg-config --cflags libvvdec -I/usr/local/include

[alexgeek]

First option: vvdecapp --bitstream R266.266 --y4m --output - | ffplay -i -

Second option: https://github.com/tbiat/FFmpeg

Hi,

I can't seem to get ffplay to play it over stream:

.\vvdecapp.exe -b C:\Projects\LIV\desktop\misc\vvdec\ext\bitstreams\LFNST_D_HHI_3\LFNST_D_HHI_3.bit --y4m -o - | ffplay -i -

It works if I output the file and load that

.\vvdecapp.exe -b C:\Projects\LIV\desktop\misc\vvdec\ext\bitstreams\LFNST_D_HHI_3\LFNST_D_HHI_3.bit -o test3.y4m
ffplay .\test3.y4m

--Also I don't see any video output with the WASM tests it just logs the time it took to decode?-- edit: got player working from instructions at https://github.com/fraunhoferhhi/vvdecWebPlayer

Thanks!

[MartinEesmaa]

@alexgeek, thank you for your information. So your vvdecapp can't play with ffplay pipe only, but converting to y4m/yuv is working display without pipe. Can you try my FFmpeg VVC version to play with your 266 bitstream file? It should work.

Command for ffplay vvc version:

ffplay_vvceasy LFNST_D_HHI_3.bit

If FFmpeg VVC version doesn't work, could you upload sample bitstream file, original file and vvencapp commands, so it could more helpful for an extra information. By the way, make sure your vvencapp & vvdecapp is latest version.

Hi Martin,

ffplay_vvceasy [file] does work (i.e. .\Windows_FF_VVCEasy\ffplay_vvceasy.exe C:\Projects\LIV\desktop\misc\vvdec\ext\bitstreams\TREE_C_HHI_3\TREE_C_HHI_3.bit)

However shouldn't the pipe from the output of vvdecapp work? This is the same as standard ffplay:

.\vvdecapp.exe -b C:\Projects\LIV\desktop\misc\vvdec\ext\bitstreams\TREE_C_HHI_3\TREE_C_HHI_3.bit --y4m -o - | .\Windows_FF_VVCEasy\ffplay_vvceasy.exe -i -

Maybe it's something like Windows carriage returns causing a problem?

If FFmpeg VVC version doesn't work, could you upload sample bitstream file, original file and vvencapp commands, so it could more helpful for an extra information. By the way, make sure your vvencapp & vvdecapp is latest version.

I'm just using the sample streams that the cmake downloads, those .bit files are h266 streams ready for the vvdecapp executable to decode right?

Thanks

[MartinEesmaa]

@alexgeek,

I'm just using the sample streams that the cmake downloads, those .bit files are h266 streams ready for the vvdecapp executable to decode right?

Yes and you're right, I just found the link: https://www.itu.int/wftp3/av-arch/jvet-site/bitstream_exchange/VVC/draft_conformance/draft6/

Maybe it's something like Windows carriage returns causing a problem?

I'm not sure, it might work or not :/. Maybe scan corrupted files of sfc /scannow or download FFmpeg latest version builds for Windows?

For vvdecapp into ffplay pipe (2022-06-22-git-fed07efcde-full_build-www.gyan.dev), it plays fine, but it's too fast using FPS 50 and loops infinite:

For ffmpeg with vvc version, now plays normally and the speed is normal of 25 fps, loops infinite:

However shouldn't the pipe from the output of vvdecapp work? This is the same as standard ffplay:

Same works, but FPS sets to 50:

Input #0, yuv4mpegpipe, from 'pipe:':
  Duration: N/A, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A
  Stream #0:0: Video: rawvideo (Y3[11][10] / 0xA0B3359), yuv420p10le(progressive), 768x384, 50 fps, 50 tbr, 50 tbn, 50 tbc

@alexgeek, my pipe and terminal commands are:

Terminal: Windows Command Prompt

Pipe:

vvdecapp -b TREE_C_HHI_3.bit --y4m -o - | ffplay -i -

play simple file with ffmpeg vvceasy:

ffplay_vvceasy TREE_C_HHI_3.bit

Ty! That works in command prompt. Seems I get the broken playback in powershell (7.2.4) and ffplay doesn't even open with powershell 5.1.

No problem @alexgeek. I know the issue is long almost 6 years until someone fixes & solves it. Have a nice day!
