I'm not sure if this is the best way to go about this, but I have another question here which I don't think was asked very well (or more to the point I realised the actual problem and have a simpler way of asking for help). If you can answer this question you'll have the answer to the other.
I'm using python 3.5.2 and ffmpeg 3.3.4-2 and have this function to run my ffmpeg commands:
def ffmpegPro(args):
err = None
for i, arg in enumerate(args):
if(" " in arg or "(" in arg or "[" in arg):
args[i] = "\"" + arg + "\""
command = [
ffmpegcmd, '-y',
'-loglevel', loglevel
] + args
commandStr = " ".join(command)
ffmpeg = subprocess.Popen(commandStr, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, universal_newlines=True, shell=True)
out, err = ffmpeg.communicate()
if ffmpeg.returncode != 0:
print(commandStr + "\n" + "ERROR CODE: " + str(ffmpeg.returncode))
raise Exception(err)
When I pass the following args the returncode is 137 and the process is Killed. This only occurs when executed in python, when I run the same command at the command line it executes as expected.
['-i', '/var/www/temp/film.mp4', '-vf', 'scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:x=(1920-iw)/2:y=(1080-ih)/2:color=black', '/var/www/temp/videoHD.mp4']
The resulting command is:
ffmpeg -y -loglevel verbose -i /var/www/temp/film.mp4 -vf "scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:x=(1920-iw)/2:y=(1080-ih)/2:color=black" /var/www/temp/videoHD.mp4
When executed through python:
ERROR CODE: 137
