[Libav-user] Unable to read frame

Hi,

I have found that if I rearrange the atom moov to the front in the mentioned files (e.g. with qt-faststart), av_read_frame() and avformat_find_stream_info() can process them fine. I am wondering if anyone has faced this mispositioned atom moov problem and if there is a support on this problem or not. As a file, I think libav should be able to search the whole for atom moov easily, but still this problem occurs.

I am trying to use libav with the streaming of mp4 files, so I am finding out how to use libav with this kind of files. If anyone has an idea or has came across this kind of problem before, please do not hesitate to give your opinion.

Regards,

Sornrakitch

Subject: Unable to read frame

Hi,

I would like to ask some questions. I am doing a project measuring streaming videos. Currently, I use ffmpeg to get video info and trying to read some frames. I tried using this https://www.ffmpeg.org/doxygen/3.1/avio_reading_8c-example.html with av_read_frame() from ffmpeg's example to try with mp4 files downloaded from youtube and dtube<http://d.tube>. Only videos from dtube generate an error, as follows:

[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0xed4040] stream 0, offset 0x30: partial file

[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0xed4040] Could not find codec parameters for stream 0 (Video: h264 (avc1 / 0x31637661), none, 854x480, 1059 kb/s): unspecified pixel format

Consider increasing the value for the 'analyzeduration' and 'probesize' options

I have already tried with different versions of ffmpeg. I would be appreciated if someone could help me with this.
