Chucking this MKV with 5.1 sound (which is properly recognized by
ffprobe
) into Opencast generates an MP4 with unknown channel layout from thepreview-mp4
encoding profile. (ffprobe
just shows "6 channels")This is weird in and of itself, but it also in turn trips up the
waveform
operation, which apparently can't handle files with unknown channel layouts.An easy workaround would be to just downmux the preview video to stereo or something like that. We can of course do that in our default config (for the waveform service and/or the encoding profiles), but to provide a generic solution I think we would have to teach encoding profile and the waveform service about audio channels ... 🤔
Or we fix
ffmpeg
bc I think both of those behaviors (discarding the layout and needing it forshowwavepic
) are weird. 👌The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
