Run an ffmpeg command with progress

Project description

ffmpeg-progress-yield

PyPI version

Run an ffmpeg command with its progress yielded.

Contents:


Requirements

  • Python 3.6 or higher
  • ffmpeg v3.1 or above from http://ffmpeg.org/ installed in your $PATH

Installation

pip3 install ffmpeg-progress-yield

Or download this repository, then run pip install ..

Usage

In your Python project, import the helper class and run run_command_with_progress:

from ffmpeg_progress_yield import FfmpegProgress

cmd = [
    "ffmpeg", "-i", "test/test.mp4", "-c:v", "libx264", "-vf", "scale=1920x1080", "-preset", "fast", "-f", "null", "/dev/null",
]

ff = FfmpegProgress(cmd)
for progress in ff.run_command_with_progress():
    print(f"{progress}/100")

The command will yield the current progress in percent.

If you have tqdm installed, you can create a fancy progress bar:

from tqdm import tqdm
from ffmpeg_progress_yield import FfmpegProgress

cmd = [
    "ffmpeg", "-i", "test/test.mp4", "-c:v", "libx264", "-vf", "scale=1920x1080", "-preset", "fast", "-f", "null", "/dev/null",
]

ff = FfmpegProgress(cmd)
with tqdm(total=100, position=1, desc="Test") as pbar:
    for progress in ff.run_command_with_progress():
        pbar.update(progress - pbar.n)

You can get the output of the command with the .stderr attribute of the FfmpegProgress class.

Caveats

Some notes:

  1. The progress cannot be extracted for sources that don't have a duration (e.g. live sources).

  2. Currently, we do not differentiate between stderr and stdout. This means progress will be mixed with the ffmpeg log.

You can also check out ffmpeg-progress for a similar project with a different feature set.
