PortAudio to AAC Error: Failed to create native encoder: :"Invalid config"

kingdomcoder

Hey,

I’m trying to stream from PortAudio to HLS as below.

The pipeline breaks when converting RawAudio to AAC with Failed to create native encoder: :"Invalid config"

How can I get around this? Thanks.

child(:pa_src, PortAudio.Source)
|> child(:hls_out_aac_encoder, Membrane.AAC.FDK.Encoder)
|> via_in(Pad.ref(:input, :audio),
  options: [encoding: :AAC, segment_duration: Membrane.Time.milliseconds(2000)]
)
|> child(
  :hls_sink_bin,
  %Membrane.HTTPAdaptiveStream.SinkBin{
    manifest_name: manifest_name,
    manifest_module: Membrane.HTTPAdaptiveStream.HLS,
    storage: %Membrane.HTTPAdaptiveStream.Storages.FileStorage{
      directory: directory
    },
    hls_mode: hls_mode,
    mp4_parameters_in_band?: true,
    target_window_duration: Membrane.Time.seconds(20)
  }
)

Hi, can you plug a debug filter right after the source and post the output here?

I get multiple instances of %Membrane.Buffer{}

The first two being:

%Membrane.Buffer{
  payload: <<93, 233, 0, 128, 93, 233, 0, 128, 174, 180, 0, 0, 93, 233, 0, 128,
    0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...>>,
  pts: 0,
  dts: nil,
  metadata: %{}
}
%Membrane.Buffer{
  payload: <<128, 233, 0, 128, 128, 233, 0, 128, 192, 180, 0, 0, 128, 233, 0,
    128, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...>>,
  pts: 75366,
  dts: nil,
  metadata: %{}
}

And the last two being:

%Membrane.Buffer{
  payload: <<130, 242, 0, 128, 130, 242, 0, 128, 65, 185, 0, 0, 130, 242, 0,

  pts: 75760762,
  dts: nil,
  metadata: %{}
}
%Membrane.Buffer{
  payload: <<206, 242, 0, 128, 206, 242, 0, 128, 103, 185, 0, 0, 206, 242, 0,
    128, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,

  pts: 75824006,
  dts: nil,
  metadata: %{}
}

Oops sorry, I meant handle_stream_format, not handle_buffer

%Membrane.RawAudio{channels: 32, sample_rate: 44100, sample_format: :s16le}

Right, so PortAudio somehow detects 32 audio channels in your input device, and AAC cannot encode that… Try setting channels: 1 or channels: 2 option in the source
