Do you want ffmpeg to tell your program the filename? Well, thanks to sh%03d.png, it's already predictable, isn't it? Does your program want a new filename every 5 seconds, in order to be able to read it? I don't quite understand what you're trying to achieve. > Else, I think I can try to manage something with the standard output > of ffmpeg (also, if it’s possible). That is certainly possible. I don't see documentation or examples for using it as a muxer, but image2pipe should be right for you: $ ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf fps=1/5 -c:v png -f image2pipe - | yourprogram If you can modify your program to handle this, you save yourself the hassle of passing the files through the filesystem (and cleaning up afterwards), guessing when a new file is there and when ffmpeg is finished with it, and so on.
