java.io.IOException: Error running exec() Working Directory: null Environment: null

Question

I am using WritingMinds/ffmpeg-android-java in application.

here is my code

loadFFmpeg();
String cmd="ffmpeg -i /storage/emulated/0/media/audio/a.mp3 -i  /storage/emulated/0/recording.3gp -filter_complex \"[0:a][1:a]amerge=inputs=2[aout]\" -map \"[aout]\" " + outputFile;
executeFFmpeg(cmd.split(" "));

and

private void loadFFmpeg() {
    FFmpeg ffmpeg = FFmpeg.getInstance(MainActivity.this.getApplicationContext());
    try {
        ffmpeg.loadBinary(new LoadBinaryResponseHandler() {

            @Override
            public void onStart() {}

            @Override
            public void onFailure() {}

            @Override
            public void onSuccess() {}

            @Override
            public void onFinish() {}
        });
    } catch (FFmpegNotSupportedException e) {
        // Handle if FFmpeg is not supported by device
    }
}

private void executeFFmpeg(String[] cmd)
{
    /*String workFolder = getApplicationContext().getFilesDir() + "/ffmpeg";
    String environment = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
    Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
    map.put("Working Directory", workFolder);
    map.put("Environment",environment);*/
    FFmpeg ffmpeg = FFmpeg.getInstance(MainActivity.this.getApplicationContext());
    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() {
                stop.setEnabled(false);
                play.setEnabled(true);
            }
        });
    } catch (FFmpegCommandAlreadyRunningException e) {
        // Handle if FFmpeg is already running
    }
}

but I am getting following error

Answer 1

your problem is that you declear FFmpeg once in loadFFmpeg() method and once in executeFFmpeg() . so in executeFFmpeg() your FFmpeg isn't loaded.

Solution :

your code should be like this :

public class Main extends Activity{

FFmpeg ffmpeg;
Context context;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    context = this;

    loadFFmpeg();
    String cmd="ffmpeg -i /storage/emulated/0/media/audio/a.mp3 -i  /storage    /emulated/0/recording.3gp -filter_complex \"[0:a][1:a]amerge=inputs=2[aout]\" -map \"[aout]\" " + outputFile;
    executeFFmpeg(cmd.split(" "));

}

private void loadFFmpeg() {
    ffmpeg = FFmpeg.getInstance(context);
    try {
        ffmpeg.loadBinary(new LoadBinaryResponseHandler() {

            @Override
            public void onStart() {}

            @Override
            public void onFailure() {}

            @Override
            public void onSuccess() {}

            @Override
            public void onFinish() {}
        });
    } catch (FFmpegNotSupportedException e) {
        // Handle if FFmpeg is not supported by device
    }
}

private void executeFFmpeg(String[] cmd)
{
    try {
        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() {
                stop.setEnabled(false);
                play.setEnabled(true);
            }
        });
    } catch (FFmpegCommandAlreadyRunningException e) {
        // Handle if FFmpeg is already running
    }
}
}

Answer 2

Try this:

public class MainActivity extends Activity{

FFmpeg ffmpeg;
Context context;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    context = this;

    loadFFmpeg();
    String cmd="-i /storage/emulated/0/media/audio/a.mp3 -i  /storage    /emulated/0/recording.3gp -filter_complex \"[0:a][1:a]amerge=inputs=2[aout]\" -map \"[aout]\" " + outputFile;
    executeFFmpeg(cmd.split(" "));

}

private void loadFFmpeg() {
    ffmpeg = FFmpeg.getInstance(context);
    try {
        ffmpeg.loadBinary(new LoadBinaryResponseHandler() {

            @Override
            public void onStart() {}

            @Override
            public void onFailure() {}

            @Override
            public void onSuccess() {}

            @Override
            public void onFinish() {}
        });
    } catch (FFmpegNotSupportedException e) {
        // Handle if FFmpeg is not supported by device
    }
}

private void executeFFmpeg(String[] cmd)
{
    try {
        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() {
                stop.setEnabled(false);
                play.setEnabled(true);
            }
        });
    } catch (FFmpegCommandAlreadyRunningException e) {
        // Handle if FFmpeg is already running
    }
}
