ffmpeg libav bindings for crystal lang

Primarily to extract video frames from streams and files for processing by AI.

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     ffmpeg:
       github: spider-gazelle/ffmpeg
   

2. Run shards install

3. ensure the required libraries are installed

   • sudo apt install libswscale-dev
   • sudo apt install libav-tools or sudo apt install ffmpeg

Usage

parsing a video file, outputs StumpyCore Canvas

require "ffmpeg"

video = Video::File.new("./test.mp4")
video.each_frame do |frame, is_key_frame|
   frame # => StumpyCore::Canvas
end

also supports UDP streams (unicast or multicast)

require "ffmpeg"

video = Video::UDP.new("udp://239.0.0.2:1234")
video.each_frame do |frame, is_key_frame|
   frame # => StumpyCore::Canvas
end

Frames can be scaled as they are processed. If the new resolution isn't in the same aspect ratio then the image is scaled to cover. That is both its height and width completely cover the source image and cropped either vertically or horizontally.

video.each_frame(new_width, new_height) do |frame, is_key_frame|
   frame # => StumpyCore::Canvas
end

See the specs for more detailed usage
