ffmpeg 在后台运行时挂起 [英] ffmpeg hangs when run in background

问题描述

如果我按如下方式运行 ffmpeg:

If I run ffmpeg as follows:

ffmpeg -i H264-media-4.264 4.avi

它工作正常(即 4.avi 创建正常).但是，如果我尝试在后台运行它:

It works OK (i.e. 4.avi created OK). However, if I try to run it in background:

ffmpeg -i H264-media-4.264 4.avi &

它挂了！(和 4.avi 从未创建)有什么想法吗?

it hangs! (and 4.avi never created) Any Idea?

注意:问题是在尝试将其作为子进程运行时，python 中类似问题的隔离，并且它也挂了:ff.py 包括

Note: The problem is an isolation of of similar problem in python when trying to run it as subprocess and there it hanged as well: ff.py includes

ps = subprocess.Popen(ffmpeg_list, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,stdout = subprocess.PIPE)

并且运行 ./ff.py 运行正常，./ff.py & 也会挂起.

and running ./ff.py runs OK, ./ff.py & hangs too.

推荐答案

它挂起是因为在某个点之后它无法再写入它的输出管道.

It hangs because after a certain point it can not write to it's output pipe any longer.

当你运行一个进程时，它有 3 个打开的管道:stdin、stdout 和 stderr.管道有一个内存缓冲区(Linux 上为 4KB)，可以容纳一定数量的数据，下一次写操作将暂停，直到从管道的另一端读取一些数据.

When you run a process it has 3 opened pipes for: stdin, stdout and stderr. A pipe has a memory buffer ( 4KB on Linux ) that can hold up to a certain amount of data and the next write operation will pause until some data is read from the other side of the pipe.

由于您从未从子进程的 stdout 和 stderr 中读取数据，并且 FFMpeg 输出很多，因此它会在某些时候挂起.

Since you never read from stdout and stderr of your child process and FFMpeg outputs quite a lot it will hang at some point.

如上面评论中所述，您可以简单地使用以下命令将 ffmpeg 输出重定向到/dev/null:

As explained in the comment above you can simply redirect your ffmpeg output to /dev/null using:

ffmpeg .... > /dev/null 2>&1 < /dev/null

在这种情况下，ffmpeg 永远不会输出足够的数据来让管道挂起".

In this case ffmpeg will never output enough data to have the pipe 'hang'.

另一种选择是在您启动子进程后立即关闭它的 stdin、stdout 和 stderr.

Another option would be to just close stdin, stdout and stderr of your child process as soon as you launch it.

另一种选择是实际读取(并可选择丢弃)子进程的 stdout 和 stderr 上的所有内容.

And yet another option would be to actually read ( and optionally discard ) everything on stdout and stderr of your child process.
