E_UNEXPECTED in MESessionStarted event when topology has two branches - audio

I am working on a session topology that records a video (with audio) while showing the video stream with an EVR. I am using SampleGrabber sinks for the video and audio streams so I can easily control when I start/end recording (using a sinkwriter) and extract sample data as I need to (for capturing stills and displaying the microphone's audio level). I am using a Tee node to split the video feed between the EVR and the video samplegrabber, and a copierMFT to deliver samples to the EVR. Both the audio and the video samplegrabbers are marked RATELESS.
Each branch of the topology work by themselves, but when I add both to the topology the media session fails to start, with a status="E_UNEXPECTED Catastrophic Error" set on the MESessionStarted event. That is the only error I find in the MFTrace logs. My camera never turns on and I don't receive any samples in my samplegrabbers. The topology seems to resolve correctly, so I'm not sure what the session didn't expect. The documentation for MediaSession::Start doesn't mention anything about this error. My current guess is that is has something to do with syncing the presentation clock, but setting the samplegrabber output nodes as rateless doesn't seem to help. After I receive the Topology Ready status event, checking the session's clock state returns MFCLOCK_STATE_INVALID.
Is there any special setup required to have a live camera source and microphone source in the same topology? Is there any way to get more info on the E_UNEXPECTED error?
Any help on getting to the bottom of this is appreciated. Here is a snippet of my mftrace log which shows the ready topology and the error:

UPDATE 1:
As suggested by mofo77, I tried creating a new presentationclock with a systemtimesource and setting it as set the EVR's presentation clock. Unfortunately this didn't change anything.
Looking more into the TopologyReady event, I noticed that the clock doesn't have a presentation time source:
IMFClock* pClock;
hr = pMediaSession->GetClock(&pClock);
MFCLOCK_STATE state;
hr = pClock->GetState(0, &state);
//state == MFCLOCK_STATE_INVALID
IMFPresentationClock* pPresentationClock;
hr = pClock->QueryInterface(&pPresentationClock);
IMFPresentationTimeSource* pPresentationTimeSource;
hr = pPresentationClock->GetTimeSource(&pPresentationTimeSource);
//hr == 0xc00d9c41 : No Presentation Time Source has been specified.
I tried creating a systemtimesource and setting it on the mediasession's clock, but that also doesn't help.
With only the video branch (or only the audio branch), my samplegrabber receives the OnSetPresentationClock callback. With both added to the topology, this never happens and I get the catastrophic failure status on the MESessionStarted event.

I think you need to provide a valid clock to the EVR.
UPDATE
After your update and better reading your question, it seems that you don't use MFCreateAggregateSource to Aggregate audio and video capture.
If i'm right, you can check my project : MFNode
Under MFNodePlayer, you have source code for MFCreateAggregateSource, and the concept of using audio/video capture with the Media Session. You will not need to worry about clock, because yes, the Media Session handles the presentation clock.

This question was also asked on MSDN where Venki.thiyag replied
In case if your topology has 2 sources, then topology needs to be
added via Sequencer source.
Refer
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms698996(v=vs.85).aspx
for more details.
This is a quote from the Sequencer Source documentation
You can use it to create playlists, or to play streams from multiple
sources simultaneously.
Unfortunately the documentation for Sequencer Source does not detail how to "to play [capture] streams from multiple sources simultaneously". Note the emphasis on simultaneously.
A method for how to use Sequencer Source to simultaneously capture from multiple Media Sources is described in the ofxWMFVideoPlayer technical description section titled "Bonus (experimental) feature : playing multiple video in sync"
Like #mofo77, the ofxWMFVideoPlayer technical description also suggests using the MFCreateAggregateSource function as another way to simultaneously capture from multiple Media Sources.
The MFCreateAggregateSource function is a very direct approach to simultaneously capturing from multiple Media Device Sources. This a quote from the MFCreateAggregateSource documentation remarks.
The aggregated media source is useful for combining streams from
separate media sources. For example, you can use it to combine a
video capture source and an audio capture source.

Convert .mp4 to .mpeg4 using Converter

I have an MP4 file, which I would like to convert into an MPEG4 file. TO do this, I have found the PythonVideoConvert package. On the PyPI page, the following code is given:
from converter import Converter
conv = Converter()
info = conv.probe('test/test1.avi')
PATH = 'C:/Users/.../'
convert = conv.convert(PATH +'Demo.mp4', PATH + 'Demo.mpeg4', {
'format': 'mpeg4',
'audio': {
'codec': 'aac',
'samplerate': 11025,
'channels': 2
},
'video': {
'codec': 'hevc',
'width': 720,
'height': 400,
'fps': 25
}})
When I run this code, a convert object is created. However, there is no .mpeg4 video in the PATH directory.
Therefore, I have two questions:
Is the code above correct for converting a .mp4 file into a .mpeg4 file
What do I need to run to save the converted video as a .mpeg4 file?
Based on Selcuk's comment, I ran the following code:
for timecode in convert:
pass
This gives the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<ipython-input-60-14c9225c3ac2>", line 1, in <module>
for timecode in convert:
File "C:\Users\20200016\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\converter\__init__.py", line 229, in convert
optlist = self.parse_options(options, twopass)
File "C:\Users\20200016\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\converter\__init__.py", line 60, in parse_options
raise ConverterError(f'Requested unknown format: {str(f)}')
ConverterError: Requested unknown format: mpeg4
So, my suggested format seems incorrect. What can I do to convert a video into .mpeg4?
I don't think PythonVideoConverter is meant to be used in Windows.
I was getting an exception AttributeError: module 'signal' has no attribute 'SIGVTALRM', because SIGVTALRM is not a valid signal in Windows.
The default path of FFmpeg an FFprobe command line tools, also doesn't make sense for Windows.
We may still use the package in Windows, but it's recommended to set ffmpeg_path and ffprobe_path.
Example:
conv = Converter(ffmpeg_path=r'c:\FFmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe', ffprobe_path=r'c:\FFmpeg\bin\ffprobe.exe')
We also have to disable the timeout feature, by setting timeout=None argument.
mpeg4 is not a valid FFmpeg format, but we can still use it as a file extension.
(format is FFmpeg terminology usually applies container format).
When non-standart file extension is used, we have to set the format entry.
Setting 'format': 'mp4' creates MP4 file container (may be created with the non-standart .mpeg4 file extension).
Complete code sample:
from converter import Converter
conv = Converter(ffmpeg_path=r'c:\FFmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe', ffprobe_path=r'c:\FFmpeg\bin\ffprobe.exe')
#info = conv.probe('test/test1.avi')
PATH = 'C:/Users/Rotem/'
convert = conv.convert(PATH + 'Demo.mp4', PATH + 'Demo.mpeg4', {
'format': 'mp4', #'format': 'mpeg4',
'audio': {
'codec': 'aac',
'samplerate': 11025,
'channels': 2
},
'video': {
'codec': 'hevc',
'width': 720,
'height': 400,
'fps': 25
}},
timeout=None)
# https://pypi.org/project/PythonVideoConverter/
for timecode in convert:
print(f'\rConverting ({timecode:.2f}) ...')

In MediaInfo output, the MP4 file container applies "MPEG-4" format...
Note:
The HEVC video format applies H.265 video codec - in most cases the codec is considered to be more relevant then container.
'Requested unknown format: mpeg4'
*.mpeg4 is not valid container. mpeg4 is codec, *.something (avi, mp4, mov, mkv, ...) are containers.
basicly: codec.CONTAINER or your_mpeg4_video.mkv etc.
video codec (like mpeg4) handle only video, but you need more than only visual, you need audio, many audio tracks (eng, de, nl, 2.0, 5.1, 7.1 ...), subtitles, etc and these stuff are inside container.
install ffmpeg: https://ffmpeg.org/
try this basic script:
import subprocess
input_file = 'Demo.mp4'
output_file = 'Demo.mkv' # or .mp4, .mov, ...
ffmpeg_cli = "ffmpeg -i '{}' -vcodec libx265 '{}'".format(input_file, output_file)
subprocess.call(ffmpeg_cli, shell=True)
I don't know what are you doing (what you want, what are your expectations) but if you looking for way how to degrese size of video,

It only shows this, without errors or similar, but there is no streaming at the url. Using BUTT it works. I've also tested with 8021 instead of 8020 for port (8020 it's the port number given by the provider) but no luck.

FFmpeg media info incorrect when encoding aac audio track

I recently dipped my feet into encoding with FFmpeg. It's been working fine for me apart form 1 issues I have noticed recently. When I try and re-encode an audio track to acc the media info tags are somewhat wrong. Bitrate, streamsize etc seems to be copied form the source as opposed to reading it from the new track.
Essentially I want to copy the source video, audio and subtitles and also create an AAC version of the soundtrack for playback on devices that don't support HD audio.
Below is an example of what I am doing:
ffmpeg -i source.mkv -map_chapters 0 -map 0:v -c:v copy -c:s copy -map 0:a -c:a:0 copy -map 0:a c:a:1 aac destination.mkv
This results in a media info of:

As you can see the bit rate, stream size, etc is copied from the source track which is incorrect. I've tried the -map_metadata -1 but that removes the metadata without creating a new one and also removed it from all video and audio tracks which I don't want.
Any other ideas what I am doing wrong or is this just a quirk of the software?
Thanks in advance.

You'll need to do it in two steps.
ffmpeg -i source.mkv -map 0:a -c:a aac -map_metadata -1 temp.mkv
ffmpeg -i source.mkv -i temp.mkv -map_chapters 0 -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 1:a -c copy destination.mkv
The reason ffmpeg doesn't give metadata 'bitrate' for the 2nd track is you didn't specifically map the metadata from the added aac audio track. And it was copied, if it had been re-encoded. The bitrate would be shown. Here is it is transcoded in one pass. Notice I set the aac bitrate to 320kb/s. Far less then the TrueHD above 3545 kb/s. 320kb/s is will sound good & your file size will be smaller.
ffmpeg -i source.mkv -map_chapters 0 -map 0:v -map 0:a:0 -map 0:a:0 -map 0:s -c:v copy -c:a:0 copy -c:a:1 aac -b:a:1 320k -c:s copy destination.mkv

Linux ALSA Driver using channel count 3

Am running my ALSA Driver on Ubuntu 14.04, 64bit, 3.16.0-30-generic Kernel.
Hardware is proprietary hardware, hence cant give much details.
Following is the existing driver implementation:
Driver is provided sample format, sample rate, channel_count as input via module parameter. (Due to requirements need to provide inputs via module parameters)
Initial snd_pcm_hardware structure for playback path.
#define DEFAULT_PERIOD_SIZE (4096)
#define DEFAULT_NO_OF_PERIODS (1024)
static struct snd_pcm_hardware xxx_playback =
{
.info = SNDRV_PCM_INFO_MMAP |
SNDRV_PCM_INFO_INTERLEAVED |
SNDRV_PCM_INFO_MMAP_VALID |
SNDRV_PCM_INFO_SYNC_START,
.formats = SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S16_LE,
.rates = (SNDRV_PCM_RATE_8000 | \
SNDRV_PCM_RATE_16000 | \
SNDRV_PCM_RATE_48000 | \
SNDRV_PCM_RATE_96000),
.rate_min = 8000,
.rate_max = 96000,
.channels_min = 1,
.channels_max = 1,
.buffer_bytes_max = (DEFAULT_PERIOD_SIZE * DEFAULT_NO_OF_PERIODS),
.period_bytes_min = DEFAULT_PERIOD_SIZE,
.period_bytes_max = DEFAULT_PERIOD_SIZE,
.periods_min = DEFAULT_NO_OF_PERIODS,
.periods_max = DEFAULT_NO_OF_PERIODS,
};
Similar values for captures side snd_pcm_hardware structure.
Please, note that the following below values are replaced in playback open entry point, based on the current audio test configuration:
(user provides audio format, audio rate, ch count via module parameters as inputs to the driver, which are refilled in snd_pcm_hardware structure)
xxx_playback.formats = user_format_input
xxx_playback.rates = xxx_playback.rate_min, xxx_playback.rate_max = user_sample_rate_input
xxx_playback.channels_min = xxx_playback.channels_max = user_channel_input
Similarly values are re-filled for capture snd_pcm_hardware structure in capture open entry point.
Hardware is configured for clocks based on channel_count, format, sample_rate and driver registers successfully with ALSA layer
Found aplay/arecord working fine for channel_count = 1 or 2 or 4
During aplay/arecord, in driver when "runtime->channels" value is checked, it reflects the channel_count configured, which sounds correct to me.
Record data matches with played, since its a loop back test.
But when i use channel_count = 3, Both aplay or arecord reports
"Broken configuration for this PCM: no configurations available"!! for a wave file with channel_count '3'
ex: Playing WAVE './xxx.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Channels 3
ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2162:(snd1_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable
aplay: set_params:1204: Broken configuration for this PCM: no configurations available
With Following changes I was able to move ahead a bit:
.........................
Method1:
Driver is provided channel_count '3' as input via module parameter
Modified Driver to fill snd_pcm_hardware structure as payback->channels_min = 2 & playback->channels_min = 3; Similar values for capture path
aplay/arecord reports as 'channel count not available', though the wave file in use has 3 channels
ex: aplay -D hw:CARD=xxx,DEV=0 ./xxx.wav Playing WAVE './xxx.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Channels 3
aplay: set_params:1239: Channels count non available
Tried aplay/arecord with plughw, and aplay/arecord moved ahead
arecord -D plughw:CARD=xxx,DEV=0 -d 3 -f S16_LE -r 48000 -c 3 ./xxx_rec0.wav
aplay -D plughw:CARD=xxx,DEV=0 ./xxx.wav
Recording WAVE './xxx_rec0.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Channels 3
Playing WAVE './xxx.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Channels 3
End of Test
During aplay/arecord, In driver when "runtime->channels" value is checked it returns value 2!!! But played wavefile has ch count 3...
When data in recorded file is checked its all silence
.........................
Method2:
Driver is provided channel_count '3' as input via module parameter
Modified Driver to fill snd_pcm_hardware structure as playback->channels_min = 3 & playback->channels_min = 4; Similar values for capture path
aplay/arecord reports as 'channel count not available', though the wave file in use has 3 channels
Tried aplay/arecord with plughw, and aplay/arecord moved ahead
During aplay/arecord, In driver when "runtime->channels" value is checked it returns value 4!!! But played wavefile has ch count 3...
When data in recorded file is checked its all silence
.........................
So from above observations, the runtime->channels is either 2 or 4, but never 3 channels was used by alsa stack though requested. When used Plughw, alsa is converting data to run under 2 or 4 channel.
Can anyone help why am unable to use channel count 3.
Will provide more information if needed.
Thanks in Advance.
A period (and the entire buffer) must contain an integral number of frames, i.e., you cannot have partial frames.
With three channels, one frame has six bytes. The fixed period size (4096) is not divisible by six without remainder.
Thanks CL.
I used period size 4092 for this particular test case with channel count 3, and was able to do loop back successfully (without using plughw).
One last question, when I used plughw earlier, and when runtime->channels was either 2 or 4, why was the recorded data not showing?

Capture playback on play-only sound card with ALSA

My hw:1,0 is a playback-only external USB card. The recording application cannot capture the samples being sent to hw:1,0 if it tries opening hw:1,0 for capture. The alsamixer doesn't give any "[Capture]" options for hw:1,0 - just one volume control on "[Playback]" tab.
Is it possible to create some virtual "xxx" device that would accept a stream from playing application and send it out via 2 streams (copies) - first one to real "hw:1,0" (to my headphones) and the second one to another virtual device "zzz" that would provide capture ability, feeding the stream to applications that could open "zzz" for capturing?
update
I added ALSA Loopback device in kernel, now i have loopback device. Then i found working .asoundrc (see below), but when i capture screen + sound using ffmpeg, the sound goes WAY before than video, some great sync problem. So with this .asoundrc (below) i can use hw:0,0 (loopback device, hw:0,0 - play, hw:0,1 - capture) to capture what i send to "default". Also i can hear these samples via my external USB hw:2,0.
ffmpeg command:
ffmpeg -f alsa -i hw:0,1 -f x11grab -s 854x480 -r 30 -i :0.0 -vcodec libx264 -vb 4000k /tmp/screen_854x480.avi
.asoundrc:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "mdev"
route_policy "duplicate"
}
pcm.mdev {
type multi
slaves.a.pcm "hw:Loopback,0,0"
slaves.a.channels 2
slaves.b.pcm "dmixer"
slaves.b.channels 2
bindings.0.slave a
bindings.0.channel 0
bindings.1.slave a
bindings.1.channel 1
bindings.2.slave b
bindings.2.channel 0
bindings.3.slave b
bindings.3.channel 1
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:2,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
rate 44100
channels 2
format S16_LE
}
}
It is possible to create loopback devices that reroute playback data back to a capture device:
Alsa Loopback Devices for Fun, but not yet profit...
ALSA Loopback for Fun and Profit
It is also possible to create a virtual device that outputs to multiple devices with the multi plugin.
Try something like this:
pcm.xxx {
type plug # <-- no { here
slave.pcm {
type multi
slaves {
a { channels 2 pcm "hw:1,0" } # the real device
b { channels 2 pcm "hw:5,0" } # the loopback driver
}
bindings {
0 { slave a channel 0 }
1 { slave a channel 1 }
2 { slave b channel 0 }
3 { slave b channel 1 }
}
}
ttable [
[ 1 0 1 0 ] # left -> a.left, b.left
[ 0 1 0 1 ] # right -> a.right, b.right
]
}
