I've been trying to implement with python 2.7 a function to pass a command to cli to convert videos with ffmpeg, until now works almost great, the problem is that sometimes throws IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe and I'm not shure why it's happening. Can you help me with this?
This is my function to pass a command to the cli:
def _cli(cmd):
# TODO validate function
errors = False
import subprocess
try:
p = subprocess.Pope n(cmd, stdout=subproce ss.PIPE, stderr=subproce ss.PIPE, shell=True)
stdoutdata, stderrdata = p.communicate()
if p.wait() != 0:
# Handle error / raise exception
# errors used to know conversion success or not
errors = True
print stderrdata
return stdoutdata, stderrdata, errors
except OSError as e:
print 'error'
traceback.print _exc()
return e.strerror, e.strerror, errors
This is how I call it:
c = '/usr/bin/ffmpeg -hide_banner -nostats -i /home/user/original/390f8455-8657-4452-9fd9-0167d1025389.fl v -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -strict -2 /home/user/original/390f8455-8657-4452-9fd9-0167d1025389.mp 4'
print 'Converting command: %s' % c
stdoutdata, stderrdata, errors = _cli(c)
if errors:
print 'Converting video error'
# obj is django object
obj.convert_sta tus = 'error'
obj.msg = stderrdata
And this is the exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
