FFmpeg mpegCoder for Python

Instruction of this version

We still need to separate the Win and Linux versions of this project. The comments of how to compile this project in different environments have been shown in the introduction of v1.8 release.

You could still find source codes, dependency for win and compiled libraries here. If you are just an user of this project, you just need to download the binary (compiled) library.

Update Report

ver 2.0 creation report

1. Revise the bug of the encoder which may cause the stream duration is shorter than the real duration of the video in some not advanced media players.

2. Improve the structure of the code and remove some unnecessary codes.

3. Provide a complete version of client, which could demux the video stream from a server in any network protocol.

   An example of demuxing the video streamer from a server:

       d = mpegCoder.MpegClient() # create the handle
       d.setParameter(dstFrameRate=(5,1), readSize=5, cacheSize=12) # normalize the frame rate to 5 FPS, and use a cache which size is 12 frames. Read 5 frames each time.
       success = d.FFmpegSetup(b'rtsp://localhost:8554/video')
       if not success: # exit if fail to connect with the server
           exit()
       d.start() # start the sub-thread for demuxing the stream.
       for i in range(10): # processing loop
           time.sleep(5)
           p = d.ExtractFrame() # every 5 seconds, read 5 frames (1 sec.)
           # do some processing
       d.terminate() # shut down the current thread. You could call start() and let it restart.
       d.clear() # Disconnect with the stream.
