Can't use stream added from template for anything other than remuxing
Overview
When I create a new Container, and add a new stream to it using a template, I can only remux packets. I cannot decode and then re-encode packets.
Expected behavior
I would expect to be able to roundtrip a packet like decode packet
-> frame
-> encode frame
-> packet
.
Actual behavior
When trying to do this roundtrip, I am presented with an error.
Traceback:
File "av/stream.pyx", line 152, in av.stream.Stream.encode
File "av/codec/context.pyx", line 476, in av.codec.context.CodecContext.encode
File "av/codec/context.pyx", line 391, in av.codec.context.CodecContext._send_frame_and_recv
File "av/error.pyx", line 336, in av.error.err_check
av.error.ValueError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
Investigation
I've dug about as far in to the pyav source as I can, but I'm not very familiar with Cython
Reproduction
input_container = av.open('in.mp4', 'r')
input_stream = input_container.streams.get(video=0)[0]
output_container = av.open('out.mp4', 'w')
output_stream = output_container.add_stream(template=input_stream)
for frame in input_container.decode(input_stream):
# encode and mux
for packet in output_stream.encode(frame):
packet.pts = frame.pts
packet.time_base = frame.time_base
# packet.stream = output_stream
output_container.mux(packet)
output_container.close()

Research
I have done the following:
-
Checked the PyAV documentation -
Searched on Google -
Searched on Stack Overflow -
Looked through old GitHub issues -
Asked on PyAV Gitter -
... and waited 72 hours for a response.
Additional context
I only installed ffmpeg so I could inspect some files. I did not build PyAV against it.
