Overview

Example remux.py failed

Expected behavior

Got remuxed video

Actual behavior

Traceback:

  File "/Users/xizhen.liu/Downloads/test2.py", line 10, in <module>
    out_stream = output.add_stream(template=in_stream)
  File "av/container/output.pyx", line 47, in av.container.output.OutputContainer.add_stream
TypeError: add_stream() takes at least 1 positional argument (0 given)

Investigation

I tried using add_stream_from_template(). It runs successfully but the output video is not playable

Looks like this was fixed d527571. The Cookbook doc is still out of date though https://pyav.basswood-io.com/docs/stable/cookbook/basics.html#remuxing

I tried add_stream_from_template as well, but the output video contains no valid stream

13.1.0 works fine. I believe there are issues with the latest release 14.0.1

[karoldob]

I have similar observations. I have identical issue when remuxing video+audio streams, but currently cannot provide more details. When remuxing video only - all is ok.
And 14.1.0 is also affected (in my case)

[universorum]

Same here. It look like break by v14.0. The v13.1 is worked fine for me.

Tested on macOS 15.4
