[VU+ Duo2] mp4 playing as lusicfile

[bellejt]

when i copy a mp4 file to HDD it plays as music file instead of video file.Only recently copied files have that.Is there a soltution or wrong setup ?

 

[bellejt]

seems that files with audio on stream 0 gives the problem

As a workaround you could "fix" the file to be the other way round using ffmpeg.

On a command line this is done by:

 ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -map 0:1 -map 0:0 -c copy out.mp4

tried in telnet but not working

Can you expand on "not working"?

It works for me (once I install ffmpeg) on an et8000. At least to the extent that the two streams do get swapped.

(once I install ffmpeg) ?? Do i need to install something ? I just gave the command in telenet and get error.If i change "index" in name off the file something happens but still radio on replay

I had this problem with mp4 files which used to play until the recent (6.1 or 6.2 update). Recently the files would play with sound but no picture.
I found that mp4 files would play if
/Menu/System/Customise/Enable new GStreamer playback = no

tried and not working. Only differance i see in mp4 files is that stream0 audio is and stream1 video.Then i get audioplayer and no image.With files where stream0 video is it works fine.Problem is when i donwload from youtube the new standar dis adio stream0.

Problem is when i donwload from youtube the new standar dis adio stream0.

I've just downloaded from YouTube and the video is on stream 0.
It might depend on how you download???

"get an error" covers a multitude of possibilities.

But:

-bash: ffmpeg: command not found

would be a big hint that it isn't installed.
You can install it with:

opkg install ffmpeg.

I download with youtube premium registered on to my computer and then copy file to HDD vu+ duo2

just installed the package and when going to directory where file is and giving your cmd I get : no such file or directory.Even when I replace iput and output by filename .Not worked in linux a lot.Only windows

PS : do I give the command in root or directory where files are ? MANY THX in advance for help

If you are not sure of directory and linux, using filezilla roll down to the HDD (look in /media) and find the file - top right bar in filezilla will show the location you need to use in ffmpeg

I am using DCC.Is it the same ? IN DCC the file is in /media/hdd/movie/Musicvid named : Steps Party On The Dancefloor Tour 2017 Live @ SSE Arena Wembley.mp4

Did you put quotes round the filename? It will contain spaces...

 

[bellejt]

maybe if someone placed the right command line here I could copy it and see.Would be easy for the future to adapt new files. (I am used to working in CMD windows)

 

[bellejt]

no one with example how to do it ?

 

[birdman]

I gave one. But all you report is that there is an error.
If you posted the entire result I might be able to do something more.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -map 0:1 -map 0:0 -c copy out.mp4 gives input.mp4: no such file or directory


when I give : ffmpeg -i "Steps Party On The Dancefloor Tour 2017 Live @ SSE Arena Wembley.mp4" -map 0:1 -map 0:0 -c copy "Steps Party On The Dancefloor Tour 2017 Live @ SSE Arena Wembley.mp4" in directory where file is I get :

output same as input : exiting
ffmpeg cannot edit existing files in-place.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -map 0:1 -map 0:0 -c copy out.mp4 gives input.mp4: no such file or directory


when I give : ffmpeg -i "Steps Party On The Dancefloor Tour 2017 Live @ SSE Arena Wembley.mp4" -map 0:1 -map 0:0 -c copy "Steps Party On The Dancefloor Tour 2017 Live @ SSE Arena Wembley.mp4" in directory where file is I get :

output same as input : exiting
ffmpeg cannot edit existing files in-place.

The example that @Birdman gave you was taking input.mp4 and creating output.mp4, i.e. the new file has a different name, so change your output file name to something like "NewSteps Party On.....mp4".
