FFmpeg 0.60 Problem – unsupported codec
Hello,
i’ve got a strange problem with ffmpeg. Im trying to extend my Software with a small Videoplayer-feature. What i have to do is just to open a videofile and read the images. I only need the videodata of a video, because its a computer vision application.
So i found a website which descibes how to do this. (https://dranger.com/ffmpeg/tutorial01.html)
I use ffmpeg 0.60 for this application, which I’ve downloaded from the ffmpeg website.I’ve builded ffmpeg with the following configurations:
./configure –enable-gpl –enable-swscale –enable-nonfree
After make and make install I’ve copied the lib and headerfiles to my Projectdirectory. (It’s a Qt-Project)
Here is the sourcecode i use to open a videofile (Its just the code from the tutorial):
int FFmpegHandler::openVideoStream(QString fileName)
{
AVFormatContext *pFormatCtx;
int i, videoStream;
AVCodecContext *pCodecCtx;
AVCodec *pCodec;
AVFrame *pFrame;
AVFrame *pFrameRGB;
AVPacket packet;
int frameFinished;
int numBytes;
uint8_t *buffer;// Register all formats and codecs
av_register_all();// Open video file
if(av_open_input_file(&pFormatCtx, fileName.toLatin1(), NULL, 0, NULL)!=0)
return -1; // Couldn't open file// Retrieve stream information
if(av_find_stream_info(pFormatCtx)<0)
return -1; // Couldn't find stream information// Dump information about file onto standard error
dump_format(pFormatCtx, 0, fileName.toLatin1(), false);// Find the first video stream
videoStream=-1;
for(i=0; inb_streams; i++)
if(pFormatCtx->streams[i]->codec->codec_type==CODEC_TYPE_VIDEO)
{
videoStream=i;
break;
}
if(videoStream==-1)
return -1; // Didn't find a video stream// Get a pointer to the codec context for the video stream
pCodecCtx=pFormatCtx->streams[videoStream]->codec;// Find the decoder for the video stream
pCodec=avcodec_find_decoder(pCodecCtx->codec_id);
if(pCodec==NULL)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Unsupported codec!n");
return -1; // Codec not found
}
return 0;
}
So when im running my application it always outputs in the console:
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from ‘/home/pollok/Desktop/out-7.mp4’:
Duration: 00:00:35.00, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 451 kb/s
Stream #0.0(und): Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 320×240 [PAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], 15,00 tb(r)
Stream #0.1(und): Audio: libfaad, 48000 Hz, stereo
Unsupported codec!But when I use ffplay to display the video it works without prolems… What am I doing wrong? I need help urgent, because I’m trying to programm that since one week.
FFplay outputs the following: (This is an older Version of ffmpeg, which was already preinstalled on my Linux)

[tom pepe] “I’ve builded ffmpeg with the following configurations:

You have not installed or enabled the libfaad or libfaac libraries. This is why it is reporting:
[tom pepe] “Unsupported codec!”
Your ffplay does have these libraries installed and configured. This is why it works in FFplay but not FFmpeg.
add –enable-libfaad and –enable-libfaac to your FFmpeg configure line.

add –enable-libfaad and –enable-libfaac to your FFmpeg configure line.
But when you have a look at the sourcecode:
// Get a pointer to the codec context for the video stream
pCodecCtx=pFormatCtx->streams[videoStream]->codec;// Find the decoder for the video stream
pCodec=avcodec_find_decoder(pCodecCtx->codec_id);
if(pCodec==NULL)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Unsupported codec!n");
return -1; // Codec not found
}libfaad and libfaac are en- and decoder for audiostreams.
But I never access to the audio channel – only to the video channel.So why should this be the solution for my problem?
Nice Regards,
Tom
PS: Thanks for your reply.

It appears that there is an audio stream in your input. Unless FFmpeg is told to ignore the audio (using -an for example on the command line), it will pass the stream through to the output. That is why I think you are having the problem of unsupported codec.
