Thank you for your suggestion. I have modified my external program, which now accepts a piped image like this, and output « unrecognized » or a result: $ cat image.png | myProgram - So, after trying this, unfortunately, no result at all: $ ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf fps=1/5 -c:v png -f image2pipe - | myProgram - Maybe I haven’t handled correctly something. How does ffmpeg proceed to write to the standard output in that case? Does it buffer until it finishes then write to myProgram standard input (all in once)? Or does it open the standard output and write each image as they're treated? Ideally, I would love being able to call myProgram individually for each image treated by ffmpeg, the exact same way the unix command « find » works with « -exec », if it’s possible.
