What's the least intrusive way to restart an ffmpeg stream?
I don't mind if the stream flickers or jumps ahead...but right now
when I kill the pid and restart it, the player completely stops
playing it.
that's nothing you can solve on the server side
the client needs to graceful hand short interruptions
Seems like if the server kills the video streamer, then the client's
connection is broken. So when server restarts the streamer, then
the client should still be able to re-connect to server and start
playing the stream. No?
surely, that connection is broken
yes, the *client* should be able to reconnect
if the client don't re-connect just blame the client
you can't solve that on the server side
exactly what i said
Since the client is not able to reconnect, it seems that it may be possible
that the very server PROCESS which invokes ffmpeg to start the stream
needs to be restarted, not just ffmpeg - I am assuming the main server
daemon is NOT ffmpeg.
I'm using nginx to server the .ts and index.m3u8 files...I don't see why a
restart of nginx would be required.
please first document yourself and understand how this whole process
works, who plays what role, and so on.
then you'll find the role of EXT-X-ENDLIST and maybe figure out a
solution to not feed it to the client at all and gracefully continue the
ongoing playlist after restart. a playlist preprocessor could help.
and then please understand why this is not an ffmpeg issue and shouldn't
be its responsibility to have flags to create intermediary incomplete
outputs. and this is for the simple fact the ffmpeg *is not* a streaming
server. look to other solutions for that.
