Shawn Lewis <[email protected]> added the comment: I have a question, which in turn would i think resolve all my issues.
Does ffMPEG have such a flag/input type, to allow treating the INPUT FILE as a BACKWARD Seekable stream, or a simply a STREAM. Something like VLC allows? Being that you may have a file which is "growing" because it is live, ffmpeg will exit out once it "sees" the end, but if a flag existed telling ffMPEG this is to be treated like a stream, and just WAIT for more data? I could then get away from HTTP with ffmpeg, run my background download process, and tell FFMPEG to transcode my local file, in stream mode. VLC has this optinos, and is nice, but I prefer ffMPEG :) Shawn ________________________________________________ FFmpeg issue tracker <[email protected]> <https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue2282> ________________________________________________
