Hi All, I thought that I would post this here for the sake of the community and my future self when I inevitably forget how to solve this problem.
A colleague and I were discussing this issue and he mentioned that he has used the pipe option to take the output of ffmpeg into another instance of ffmpeg in the past. Any output streams from the first instance that are mapped into the second instance are treated as mappable input streams in the second instance. This would therefore, in theory, allow one to encode an arbitrary number of audio and video streams in the first instance, pipe them to the second instance and then reuse them as many times as needed in the second instance without having to re-encode. They could be stored locally or streamed out. The only caveat is that the "onfail" option available in the tee muxer would not be available with this method so if you are recording and streaming from one machine then your recording runs the risk of failing if the stream goes down. An example of one such use of code is shown below. ffmpeg -threads 0 -f decklink -i 'UltraStudio Mini Recorder@11' -loglevel debug \ -filter_complex "[0:v]split=2[VID1][VID2];[0:a]channelsplit=channel_layout=stereo[AL][AR]" -map '[AL]' -map '[AR]' -map '[VID1]' -map '[VID2]' -flags +global_header -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -preset veryfast -pix_fmt yuv420p -r 25 -s:v:0 640x360 -s:v:1 426x240 -b:v:0 484k -b:v:1 215k -bufsize 1500k -coder 1 -g 125 -keyint_min 25 -c:a aac -b:a 96k -ar 44100 -async 1 -f nut - 2>> /Users/broadcastingza/logs/"${logdate}".log | \ ffmpeg -f nut -i - \ -map 0:0 -map 0:2 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f flv -rtmp_flashver "FMLE/3.0(compatible;FMSc/1.0)" -rtmp_live live ${entrypoint}${streampath1}${datavid11} \ -map 0:1 -map 0:2 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f flv -rtmp_flashver "FMLE/3.0(compatible;FMSc/1.0)" -rtmp_live live ${entrypoint}${streampath2}${datavid11} \ -map 0:0 -map 0:3 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f flv -rtmp_flashver "FMLE/3.0(compatible;FMSc/1.0)" -rtmp_live live ${entrypoint}${streampath1}${datavid12} \ -map 0:1 -map 0:3 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f flv -rtmp_flashver "FMLE/3.0(compatible;FMSc/1.0)" -rtmp_live live ${entrypoint}${streampath2}${datavid12} \ -map 0:0 -vn -acodec copy -f flv -rtmp_flashver "FMLE/3.0(compatible;FMSc/1.0)" -rtmp_live live ${entrypoint}${streampath1}${dataaud11} \ -map 0:1 -vn -acodec copy -f flv -rtmp_flashver "FMLE/3.0(compatible;FMSc/1.0)" -rtmp_live live ${entrypoint}${streampath2}${dataaud11} >> /Users/broadcastingza/logs/"${logdate}".log 2>&1 -- View this message in context: http://www.ffmpeg-archive.org/Maximum-argument-length-for-tee-pseudo-muxer-tp4679518p4679676.html Sent from the FFmpeg-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
