MotioneyeOS cannot play its own files

[gzcwnk]

"the video cannot be played as it is corrupt" I had this working on some cameras (but not others) and now none work. I can download and play the mp4 in vlc OK. This is a docker image,

root@debian-docker-001:~# docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES c6055b49c9ab ccrisan/motioneye:master-amd64 "/bin/sh -c 'test -e…" 4 weeks ago Up 7 days 0.0.0.0:8765->87 65/tcp, 0.0.0.0:18081->8081/tcp, 0.0.0.0:18082->8082/tcp, 0.0.0.0:18083->8083/tcp motioneye root@debian-docker-001:~#

I have been altering some of the quality settings so I suspect this might be the issue? Basically I moved the quality setting in movies from 75% to 100%.

I went back to some original files and they play fine, so am a bit stumped.

This is my first ever container so I'm a bit clueless on them.

I also dont know how github page syntax works, LOL. oops

[gzcwnk]

Ok I can fix / reproduce this by simply changing the quality from 100% back to 75% I think. Will do some more testing.

[gzcwnk]

Ok I can confirm that going from the std 75% to 100% causes some sort of software issue with playback. Going to 95% is OK.

You could probably use ffprobe -show_streams myvideofile.mp4 to inspect the quality related attributes in the produced videos, but I'd guess that with 100% you get something extreme for "profile" like High 4:4:4 Predictive which probably just isn't supported by the codecs included in MotionEyeOS. The way ffmpeg decides the encoding parameters based on what MotionEye passes to Motion (which then uses ffmpeg to assemble the videos containing motion) is not clear to me, though.

[zagrim]

This relates to #1003 and #1824, at least.

[davebdb]

I opened up ticket 1003. I was starting to think while I was in bed last night about quality settings. Will give that a try setting it down at 5% increments and check the profile used. Thanks for additional information which is starting to run parallel my thoughts. Will update this thread on my findings as well. The problem is the player (browser) doesnt seem to have High Predictive 4:4:4. Can you download the file and play in something standalone like VLC player?

Sorry, typing this on phone.

Sorry to jump in but I had a similar problem, well maybe remotely similar https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/issues/2013 was to do with "changed video mode from H.264 to H.264/OMX and videos actually play." This is intended to help but maybe it won't, though worth a check.

[SargFowler]

I've just left the video passed straight thru rather than encoded and I can now see the video in the web browser and via QuickTime.

Iphone has constraints when it comes to resolution of mp4, max is 1080p. For me it was as simple as setting the Movie Quality to 75% instead of 100%, et voilà, I could play the movies on my iPhone.

When it comes to Movie Format, the only mp4 that can be used is H.264 (.mp4) The other two H.264 options, with more letters in the name, can often not be used, it seem to be an issue about what OS you are using and what Codecs that comes with the OS. I use Raspberian Buster and H.264 (.mp4) is the only option that works for me. This also affects the Time laps movie making.
