FFMPEG "buffer queue overflow, dropping" with trim and atrim filters

Question

In FFMPEG I am actually trimming and concating a 24 FPS video. When I apply a complex filter

ffmpeg -i sample.mp4 -filter_complex \
  "[0:v]setpts = PTS-STARTPTS[bv];
  [bv]split=6[v0][v1][v2][v3][v4][v5];
  [v0]trim=start_frame=1:end_frame=142,loop=1:1:1,setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB[0v];
  [v1]trim=start_frame=846:end_frame=878,loop=1:1:1,setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB[1v];
  [v2]trim=start_frame=57:end_frame=114,loop=1:1:1,setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB[2v];
  [v3]trim=start_frame=865:end_frame=885,loop=1:1:1,setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB[3v];
  [v4]trim=start_frame=70:end_frame=155,loop=1:1:1,setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB[4v];
  [v5]trim=start_frame=155:end_frame=909,loop=1:1:1,setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB[5v];
  [0:a]asplit=6[a0][a1][a2][a3][a4][a5];
  [a0]atrim=0.041666666666666664:5.917,asetpts=N/SR/TB[0a];
  [a1]atrim=35.256:36.603,asetpts=N/SR/TB[1a];
  [a2]atrim=2.379:4.767,asetpts=N/SR/TB[2a];
  [a3]atrim=36.024:36.859,asetpts=N/SR/TB[3a];
  [a4]atrim=2.93:6.438172,asetpts=N/SR/TB[4a];
  [a5]atrim=6.438172:37.895,asetpts=N/SR/TB[5a];
  [0v][0a][1v][1a][2v][2a][3v][3a][4v][4a][5v][5a]concat=n=6:v=1:a=1[vv][aa]"\
  -map "[vv]" -map "[aa]" output.mp4

I am getting "buffer queue overflow, dropping" error. The resultant video and audio is still and not working properly.

I tried with other stackoverflow questions but none of them worked. Also I think it is partially because the trim timings are mixed. That is start time can be anywhere between 0-end. When I make it strictly increasing it is working fine.

Answer 1

Add a fifo filter at the end of each of the video filterchains.

i.e.

[v0]trim=start_frame=1:end_frame=142,loop=1:1:1,setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB,fifo[0v];

Although probably not necessary, you can add afifo to the end of audio chains as well.
