isFFmpegCommandRunning() not working

[SebSob]

When i run a command with ffmpeg.execute() inside the FFmpegExecuteResponseHandler onProgress() method when i call ffmpeg.isFFmpegCommandRunning() it's returning false.

Also killRunningProcesses() is not working, because when i execute and run this method it always return false

Could you please conside a fix please? Thanks

Hey, you could try using this code.
I have tried this, and it works successfully.
for example - you can make toast in catch block ," that ffmpeg is Already running".
Hope this helps.

FFmpeg ffmpeg = FFmpeg.getInstance(context);
try {
// to execute "ffmpeg -version" command you just need to pass "-version"
ffmpeg.execute(cmd, new ExecuteBinaryResponseHandler() {
@OverRide
public void onStart() {}

@Override
public void onProgress(String message) {}

@Override
public void onFailure(String message) {}

@Override
public void onSuccess(String message) {}

@Override
public void onFinish() {}

});
} catch (FFmpegCommandAlreadyRunningException e) {
//Do somthing
}

Ok yes, that could be a possible workaround thanks. But what if i want to stop the current process (for example in the onDestroy() method)?

[JayParikh20]

Let's assume the ffmpeg command was executed and was in progress

OnProgress function will be called again and again (try adding toast , to cross check)
So workflow around this can be
you add a if statement inside Onprogress function(to check kill conditions )
Now if condition is true
you call

ffmpeg.killRunningProcesses();

I'm having the same issue, that workaround will not work, as the issue is in killRunningProcesses() itself (don't work no matter what or where is called)

[JayParikh20]

well,that's weird.let me check!

I manage to have it work by recompiling the aar from the sources - this means the patch is actually already there but not in the gradle or the public build on the site ( it's actually in this state from quite a while: #3 )

[JayParikh20]

@sam7700 Nice Catch!

How did you manage to get master source in android studio and get same result as Compiling Gradle?
i mean compiling with gradle is easy, how can i download it from Github and then add it in android Studio?

[sam7700]

Just get the source, import in android studio and then run a build, you will find the aar generated under FFmpegAndroid/build/outputs/aar/ - I was prepared to get some some dependency hell but all went smooth

[JayParikh20]

haha, thanks!

Version 0.2.5. FFmpeg.java
@Override public boolean isFFmpegCommandRunning() { return ffmpegExecuteAsyncTask != null && ffmpegExecuteAsyncTask.isProcessCompleted(); }

@sam7700 can you provide the aar ?

Is this issue still in 0.3.2? I'm trying to re run my command multiple time but it always end up with FFmpeg already running.

I'm trying to run this command:

private int count = 0;
private void seekToPosition(long currentVideoPosition){

    String[] cmd = {"-ss", String.valueOf(currentVideoPosition), "-i", "/storage/emulated/0/Videos/01.mp4",
                    "-frames:v", "1", "/storage/emulated/0/Videos/out"+ count +".jpg"};

    final FFmpeg ffmpeg = FFmpeg.getInstance(this);
    try {
        // to execute "ffmpeg -version" command you just need to pass "-version"
        ffmpeg.execute(cmd, new ExecuteBinaryResponseHandler() {

            @Override
            public void onStart() {
                isSeekable = false;
            }

            @Override
            public void onProgress(String message) {}

            @Override
            public void onFailure(String message) {
                Log.d(TAG, "FFmpeg cmd failure");
            }

            @Override
            public void onSuccess(String message) {
                Log.d(TAG, "FFmpeg cmd success");
                count++;
                isSeekable = true;
                ffmpeg.killRunningProcesses();
                Log.d(TAG, "FFmpeg kill running process: " + ffmpeg.killRunningProcesses());
            }

            @Override
            public void onFinish() {
                Log.d(TAG, "FFmpeg cmd finished: is FFmpeg process running: " + ffmpeg.isFFmpegCommandRunning());

            }
        });
    } catch (FFmpegCommandAlreadyRunningException e) {
        // Handle if FFmpeg is already running
        Log.d(TAG, "FFmpeg exception: " + e);
    }
}

I can replicate this with the demo as well. Try running this command:

-ss 00:00:05 -i whateverVideo.mp4 -frames:v 1 out1.jpg

Then re run with a different output's name:

-ss 00:00:05 -i whateverVideo.mp4 -frames:v 1 out2.jpg

It behave as expected with 2 different output files. But if you accidentally run any of those command twice then nothing happen for the next run even if you change the output's name.

I am also facing the same problem like vxhviet mentioned.

Just using sam7700 solution:

Just get the source, import in android studio and then run a build, you will find the aar generated under FFmpegAndroid/build/outputs/aar/

And that's the release.aar

For the "accidentally running it twice" just need to pass -y to the command (-y means overwriting file, consult ffmpeg document for better example).
