Hello

Thanks for this great effort!

I am running the below code to remove a background from a video, but I am getting the below error.

JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 2 column 1 (char 1)

import requests

file_names = ["/path/to/file.mp4"] api_key = '<YOUR_API_KEY>'

domain = 'https://video.backgroundremover.app' api_version = 'api/v1/' headers = {'Authorization': api_key} def videos(): files = [('video', open(f, 'rb')) for f in file_names] r = requests.post("%s/%svideo/" % (domain, api_version), files=files, headers=headers) return r.json()

def get_results(job_name, count, type): r = requests.post("%s/%sresults/" % (domain, api_version), data={'job_name': job_name, 'count': count, "type": type}) return r.json()

def download_file(url): local_filename = url.split('/')[-1] with requests.get(url, stream=True) as r: r.raise_for_status() with open(local_filename, 'wb') as f: for chunk in r.iter_content(chunk_size=8192): f.write(chunk)

image = videos() if not image.get('error'): results = get_results(image['job_name'], image['count'], image['type']) while not results['finished'] or not results['error']: results = get_results(word['job_name'], word['count'], word['type']) results['finished'] = results['finished'] time.sleep(5) if results['finished']: print(results['finished']) break for f in results['files']: file = download_file(f[0]) print(file)

Hi, I tried multiple way to get a -tv working an example video to work with a background and it always throws the error in the title.

For instance, backgroundremover -i "./stress.mp4" -tov "vert.mp4" -o "output.mp4" results in: backgroundremover: error: argument -tov/--transparentvideoovervideo: invalid <lambda> value: 'vert.mp4'

Weirdly enough backgroundremover -i "./stress.mp4" -tov -o "output.mp4" "works" ... but there's no overlay video input so I get: /<stdin>: No such file or directory Process finished

Any idea?

After successfully installing backroundremover, I am running into the following issue when running it:

[[email protected]:bgRemove]% backgroundremover -i 'input.jpg' 'out.png'

This is expected on first import.

This might take a minute.

Any idea? I'm on a Debian 10 system. gcc is installed.

thank you for share this code and model.

I tested with a single image and it worked. but when i tested in video, it failed. (use -tv option). output video have 0kb.

I try to upgrade ffmpeg version to 4.4.1 but it isn't work...

ubuntu 18.04 python3.6 torch 1.10.1 cuda 11.3

backgroundremover -i t1.mp4 -tv -o t2.mp4

FINISHED ALL FRAMES (135)! Starting alphamerge after call

on windows after completing all frames and about to merge nothing happens. temp dir is cleaned. no error occurs but the user is thrown out of the program from the terminal and the output file remains empty at 0 bytes. its like the program forgot to actually write the data to the output location before ending

Hi, I've been trying to use the soft from WSL, the mask creation with -mk argument seems fine, but everytime I try to remove background with the -tv argument, the output file weighs 0kB.

I don't have error in the console, or anything like that, how do you think I can fix this?

I'm trying to use the service from the browser with JavaScript and am having trouble understanding the API from the Python example. Would it be possible to add a JavaScript example using fetch or perhaps general http request documentation. Thanks

How does it work?

Would it be possible to add a paragraph to the main README.md?

I am not looking for a detailed 1:1 source code explanation, but just the main gist of how the correct pixels are determined and whether the program may also pick the "wrong pixels" (I assume some backgrounds will be harder). If you have some time in the future, a paragraph would be nice in this regard - does not have to be overly long eithers. Thanks for reading!

I wonder what could cause this? It's caused by the same set of images on every run (reproducible.) The resulting file size is 0 bytes.

PS: Thanks for sharing this awesome project!

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. error: legacy-install-failure

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip. hint: See above for output from the failure.

DEPRECATION: Pillow is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change.

With some videos, the generated alpha channel is out of sync with the image. Example in this image. You can see at the legs and head, the alpha mask is in the shape it should have been a handful of frames ago.

Command used: ~/.local/bin/backgroundremover -i '568925567_3AXGeHborlS4Ew02v_Source.mp4' -tv -o test.mov and mpv test.mov - so far only mpv seems able to play these back at all.

When I run

backgroundremover -i "c:/temp/maxresdefault.jpg" -o "output.png"

getting following error....

Been playing around with it for a couple hours now and I'm not having any luck outputting video or gif files. Every time it returns a 0kb file. Using ffmpeg 5.1.1. I'm happy to provide any other details you need, but I can say that when I run the command there's no apparent errors.
