I want to stream video from my drone real time to a WEBUI using ffmpeg. But i get the follwong errors. The code works but i don't think ishould have gotten this error. Can somebody help with this issue? This is my drone commands along with the streaming video codes. I have only added the code to get data. Below is the error: pipe error

My code is as follows :

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

DEFAULT_DISTANCE = 0.30
DEFAULT_SPEED = 10
DEFAULT_DEGREE = 10

FRAME_X = int(960/3)
FRAME_Y = int(720/3)
FRAME_AREA = FRAME_X * FRAME_Y

FRAME_SIZE = FRAME_AREA * 3
FRAME_CENTER_X = FRAME_X / 2
FRAME_CENTER_Y = FRAME_Y / 2

CMD_FFMPEG = (f'ffmpeg - hwaccel auto -hwaccel_device opencl -i pipe:0 '
              f'-pix_fmt bgr24 -s {FRAME_X}x{FRAME_Y}  -f rawvideo pipe:1')

Change - hwaccel auto to -hwaccel auto.

  • @ashiyaanunhuck What is the actual ffmpeg command being executed? – llogan Apr 03 '21 at 16:09
  • @ashiyaanunhuck The ffmpeg command in the code is obvious in your question. ffmpeg is not literally being executed as `(f'ffmpeg -hwaccel auto -hwaccel_device opencl -i pipe:0 ' f'-pix_fmt bgr24 -s {FRAME_X}x{FRAME_Y} -f rawvideo pipe:1')`. What I am looking for is an example of the ffmpeg command that actually gets executed. There is likely a problem with quoting or escaping, and showing the actual command as executed will make it easier to see the problem. – llogan Apr 04 '21 at 17:08
  • Thank you I have resolved it. There are too many spaces in CMD_FFMPEG. I have another issue concerning ffmpeg. I posted it. Could you please try and help me?I would really appreciate it. – ashiyaa nunhuck May 27 '21 at 12:24
  • @ashiyaanunhuck Sorry, but I don't have an answer for your new question. – llogan May 27 '21 at 15:59
