FFmpeg does not stop automatically (Solved)

[achim]

Hello everybody,

I've built a bash script with linux YAD in which there are several ways to handle video or audio files with FFmpeg. The command

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i "$filename" -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 320k "$basePath".mp3

does the work, but FFmpeg does not stop. Here I always have to help with ctrl+c. Does anyone know a better solution?

No problems here. Could be a problem with your audio/video source material?

No, when I enter the command at the command level, everything works

Then where is the problem? All you gave us is a command that you said doesn't work. Now it does. If you don't run it from the command line then how can you stop it with ctrl+c?

I work with Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon. File Manager Nemo has a terminal window where I can watch the progress of starting the YAD script. In this window I have to quit FFmpeg with Ctrl-c. Without a script (ie via a terminal), the command works without errors. But I would like to work with the YAD script. By the way, FFmpeg gives another message: WARNING: library configuration mismatch. FFmpeg is up to date, maybe a bug?

Achim, if you're using Linux Mint then you should post this in the Linux Mint forum. This forum is for Puppy Linux users.

How you start the script ? If you click on it, Nemo gives choice to run in Terminal.
Another way is to open a terminal in the directory where your script is located and (say it's named "ffsplit"):

Code: Select all

./ffsplit

I've tried both ways on Cinnamon and works OK for me (ffmpeg stops when done)
Btw, how do you mean that ffmpeg won't stop, is the converting finished but doesn't go to the terminal prompt, or... ?
Maybe best to show your script.

Hello Fred,
The script is located in the folder / usr / local / bin and can be started from anywhere with "ffsplitt".
Your second question - it's like you're writing: the conversion is complete and the cursor blinks, but does not go to the command prompt.

Hello achim.

You have to add the -autoexit parameter at the end. Something like this:

Code: Select all

ParmS="loglevel info -window_title ${TitrE}" 
ffplay -$ParmS -hide_banner -x "$X" -y "$Y" "$B" -autoexit

Even if my example uses ffplay, which BTW you should, I think, if you are
using the ffmpeg package for playing media, and not for converting or
processing them.

IHTH.

BFN.

Hi musher0,

Thank you for your suggestion. With the command "ffmpeg -i ..." I want to extract mp3 from mp4.
Unfortunately, he does not bring the desired result:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i "$filename" -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 320k "$basePath".mp3 -autoexit
Unrecognized option 'autoexit'.
Error splitting the argument list: Option not found

Hello everybody,

I found this solution for me:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i "$ filename" -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 320k "$ basePath" .mp3
sleep 2
xdotool key "Return" 

It works and thanks for the support.
