Background Processing

Example code provided here will help you implement background encoding, publishing, and processing of mp4 videos in your asp.net application. You can extend the following code for any other type of media processing.

Example Code

     string RootPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath); 
    _mhandler.FFMPEGPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~\\ffmpeg\\ffmpeg.exe"); 
    _mhandler.InputPath = RootPath + "\\contents\\original"; 
    _mhandler.OutputPath = RootPath + "\\contents\\mp4"; 
    _mhandler.BackgroundProcessing = true; 
    _mhandler.FileName = "Primos.avi"; 
    _mhandler.OutputFileName = "primos"; 
    var presetpath = RootPath + "\\ffmpeg\\presets\\libx264-ipod640.ffpreset"; 
    _mhandler.Parameters = " -fpre \"" + presetpath + "\""; 
    _mhandler.OutputExtension = ".mp4"; 
    _mhandler.VCodec = "libx264"; 
    //****************************** // 360p mp4 encoding //****************************** 
    _mhandler.Width = 640; 
    _mhandler.Height = 380; 
    _mhandler.Video_Bitrate = 500; 
    _mhandler.Audio_SamplingRate = 44100; 
    _mhandler.Audio_Bitrate = 128; 
     
    _mhandler.ProcessMedia(); 

You can get the progress of video conversion any time via code

   var percent_completed = Math.Round(_mhandler.vinfo.ProcessingCompleted, 2).ToString();

When progress completed, you can check the status of video and complete ffmpeg status via code

  if (_mhandler.vinfo.ErrorCode > 0)
  {
        // error occurs in processing
        str.Append("<tr><td>Error Code</td><td>" + _mhandler.vinfo.ErrorCode + "</td></tr>\n");
        str.Append("<tr><td>Error Message</td><td>" + _mhandler.vinfo.ErrorMessage + "</td></tr>\n");
        str.Append("<tr><td>FFMPEG Output</td><td>" + _mhandler.vinfo.FFMPEGOutput + "</td></tr>\n");
  }

You can get video information like width / height of video 

  var width = _mhandler.vinfo.Width;
  var height = _mhandler.vinfo.Height;
