FFmpeg for Unity

thanks kateryna_sloboda, link was really helpful

 

Is it still active? what about 2018.3 support?

 

Hi helloworldgames

Of Course it's active. There is a package submitted to Asset Store with 2018.2.6 version which is pretty same.
FFmpeg Unity Bind doesn't depends on Engine strongly - it's designed vice versa.

Good luck with a project!

 

Hi!

I'm trying to play a mp4 video in Android using the VideoPlayer class and I get a black screen.

Is there any way I could use FFmpeg unity bind to fix this? get a video stream with the good format or something?

 

Could you please update the ffmpeg versions used for iOS & Android? The plugin seems to be using ffmpeg versions from 2 years ago.
I'm currently stuck, because certain ffmpeg commands only seem to work properly in newer versions of ffmpeg. I tested the commands I need with the ffmpeg 3.2 and ffmpeg 4.1 executables on Windows from the official ffmpeg site and 3.2 doesn't seem to do what I want and 4.1 does, probably something that's fixed in newer versions.

 

Hello,
For Unity:Android I want the UI elements should not recorded.
Thanks

 

I request the same upgrade.

 

FFMPEG Unity Bind is a good assets.But have some problem about Mobile device。
I write a funcation for audio amix. It can work on mac or windows pc.But can not work on Mobile device. I test it on android device, it's failed. I will test on ios device. Maybe i need help.
this is amix function: string curCommand;
void AmixAudio()
{
CurRecState = RecType.AmixAudio;
StringBuilder command = new StringBuilder();
//Input Audio params
if (recAudioSource != RecAudioSource.None)
{
command.
Append(" -y ").
Append("-i ").
// Append("\"").
Append(AddQuotation(soundPath)).
// Append("\"").
Append(" -i ").
// Append("\"").
Append(AddQuotation(soundMicPath)).
// Append("\"").
Append(" -filter_complex amix=inputs=").
Append("2").
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
Append(":duration=first:dropout_transition=").
Append("2").
Append(" -f ").
Append("wav \"").
Append(outputAudioPath+"\"");
#elif !UNITY_ANDROID || UNITY_EDITOR
Append(":duration=first:dropout_transition=").
Append("2").
Append(" -f ").
Append("wav \"").
Append(outputAudioPath+"\"");
#endif
//Append("Amix.wav");
//-i b.mp3 -i 111.mp3 --filter_complex amix=inputs=2:duratio n = first:dropout_transition = 2 - f wav a.wav }
curCommand = command.ToString();
FFmpegCommands.DirectInput(command.ToString());
}
that's faild log:
[NULL@0xeba35800] Unable to find a suitable output format '':Invalid argument.

 

Hello,
I would like to purchase your asset initially to generate thumbnails from video files, is that possible?
Is there a demo to try before buying, given the price is not low.
Best Regards

 

Hi all

For me the plugin works very well in Unity Editor to create .mp4 video.

When I do a test build for standalone Windows it's not working for me. What am I doing wrong?

It gets as far as outputting image sequence but doesn't create .mp4.


I've check file permissions.
Used a Unity version that the plugin was submitted with.
Downloaded newer version of FFmpeg.
Tried builds for x86 and x64
Tried from new project using the demo.

Still doesn't work.

Anyone had this issue?

Kind regards

 

I have a Unity mobile app (iOS/Android) that saves a MP4 file. How would I add an additional audio track to the video, and save a new video?

Thanks so much!

 

Hi,
I have a project where I have one computer streaming the content of the webcam to another computer through a local network.

Basically, a few times per second, I capture the image from the webcam, compress it in JPG and send it to the other computer, which uses it as a texture on a plane. But the quality I get is pretty poor as each frame is sent completely, even if it's 90% equal to the previous and I have to compress each frame heavily in order to fit inside a network packet. The final video ain't very fluid either.

Can I use your asset to stream the content of the webcam in realtime from one computer to the other?

 

The plugin still uses a version of FFmpeg from 2016. Are you going to update it to use the latest or at least a more current version of FFmpeg? I've tried contacting your support 5 times now with no response.

 

@Max-Bot please sharing your plan about plugin future'd be really great.

 

The software is distributed as is.
Currently I'm strongly focused on other projects.
Try to find solution of your issues or needs in community, contact colleges or develop self.

Have a great time!

 

If I'm not mistaken, this plugin doesn't have 64-bit Android support without an FFMPEG update, and therefore isn't Android compatible (https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/01/get-your-apps-ready-for-64-bit.html). You should update the asset store page to mention this, since you claim Android compatibility.

 

Has anyone who's stuck without an FFMPEG update tried https://github.com/tanersener/mobile-ffmpeg as an alternative? We'll be trying to replace next week.

 

hey have you made any progress on that? I'm looking into something that allows me to stream a unity camera into a ffmpeg stream that is consumed and played in another device in the same LAN, but I have zero knowledge of android native development, that github repo you shared seems to be what I need but I don't know how I could use it inside unity, do you have some insights that you could share? thanks a lot

 

Unfortunately no, we've shelved the Android part of the project for now. Perhaps the developer will update it someday! Otherwise, our plan is to hire a colleague to make the changes.

 

Hello, so does this project work? I want to buy it so i can put FFMPEG into Android 64 bit, and iOS app.

 

Haven't tried it. But it seem like there is next to no support for it from the developer. I reached out directly multiple times and only received a canned message saying they are too busy to help. I've seem similar reports from others on this thread as well.

 

Hi everyone,
I am woking on live stream project in ios, and someone said FFmpeg can use to live stream video to Youtube
so How to do it with Unity? or this plugin can use for do it?
I stuck few month, so very hope about it
Thank all!

 

I want to adjust 'Bitrate' to reduce capacity.
How can I reduce 'Bitrate'?

Can I adjust the bitrate using the 'FFmpeg Unity Bind' asset in a windows program?

 

Is this suitable for encoding a unity texture to a streaming video that I stream to Azure Media Services? Or is streaming video a whole different ball game?

The output I'm hoping for is:

• an ingest URL
• format: RTMP or Smooth video (whatever that is?)

 

Why this asset removed from the unity asset store?

 

http://ffmpeg.giganeomarket.com

 

But people who have already bought via asset store? how do they access updated builds?

 

By notification to email used for order.

 

So i email you with my invoice/order id? and then you will keep sending me updates

 

Yeap. If there are some updates. Solution is ultimate and complete.
Also it is distributed AS IS. This means that any additional development requests are not included.

 

got permission error on android 10/Q

 

Can i use this for add an audio to a video at runtime on Android/ios?

 

Yeah, sure. FFmpeg Unity Bind allows do every possible media encoding / decoding operation.

 

Hi, is FFmpeg Unity Bind can push data by rtmp?

 

This is not media encoding / decoding operation.
Sending pieces of data or stream can be easily achieved with network engineering.

Hi @Max-Bot and others,

I purchased FFmpeg Bind 2 from the Unity Asset Store, and have a question about the "System audio" recording capacities that are mentioned both on the product page and in the demo scene.

When inspecting the RecSystemAudio.cs script, I see it relies on OnAudioFilterRead which only manages Unity's internal audio. And indeed, at least on macOS, the demo scene captures Unity's audio output correctly but totally ignores System audio - which seems logical, since the code doesn't appear to use any low-level native plugin that would really allow capturing the System audio, like in a standard screen recording app.

I understand that FFmpeg Bind 2 is just a bridge between Unity and ffmpeg, but speaking of "System audio" recording can be quite misleading for potential users who need this feature.

Or did I miss something ?

 

Hey, FFmpeg Bind 2 records System Audio and Microphone.
If you need meet some special conditions please modify existing solution or develop custom one.
Cheers!

Good luck with the project!

 

This is why i didnt upgraded to v2.
A good supportive reply should be providing a sample project that showcase "System Audio" working, this would have gotten you a 5 stars review easily.

 

Hey @Max-Bot ! I am considering purchasing v2 for my project, but had a quick question:
Does the asset include everything needed to get started? I read on the FFMpeg website that there might be legal issues with using FFMpeg in a commercial app. If I use v2 and sell my app that uses it, will there be any legal trouble?
Thanks!

 

Asset includes everything needed to get started. Including Android 64 bit support, as many asked.
FFmpeg Bind 2 is a library binding directly into Unity Engine.
It is totally up to you which library version you want to use in your app.

 

Hey @Max-Bot! I recently purchased v2 for a project I am working on but am running into some issues. When I build to iOS I get lots of issues:



Is there anything extra that needs to be done to ensure that I can build to iOS?
Thanks!

 

Just a follow up in case others were running into the same problem. I was able to resolve my issue by removing timer.h from FFmpegUnityBind2 > Plugins > IOS > include > libavutil

 

Its possible to record only one layer/camera and ignore others?

Thanks.

 

Yes.
