yes, thanks carl, i went on to do just that.
first i fed the buffer output to the fifo and piped that to a file. then i
used this command to successfully wrap that up as an mp4
ffmpeg -frqmerate 30 -y -f h264 -i /tmp/fifocam1.h264 -c:v copy -an
-video_size 1920x1080 -f mp4 fifocam1.mp4
then i jump back into my code, and try to get it all to work at once with
this command (moving the -video_size to the output side of the command
elliminated the video_size error)
and still no joy.
i think it's my sequence of events,perhaps.
how to properly tell ffmpeg to close up shop?
1) mkfifo(fifoname, S_IRUSR| S_IWUSR) (the latest options im trying there)
2) open(fifoname, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) (other options have been tried...)
2a) fopen pathnaem, files that ffmpeg will write to (why the heck am i
doing this?)
3) launch exec thusly.
char*
execargs[]={PATH_TO_FFMPEG,"-loglevel","debug","-framerate","30","-y","-f","h264","-i",g_fifoname,"-c:v","copy","-an","-video_size","1920x1080","-f","mp4",pathname,
(char*)0};
4)write(fd_fifo[ch], buffer, size); in callback function that receives
camera data (as h264es)
5) stop video
6)close(fd_fifo)
7) rm fifo with execv (not sure why)
8) close files that ffmpeg should be writing to (why? this is ffmpeg
business)
9) kill(ffmpeg_pid, SIGTERM) (really shouldln't have to do this, i think.
closing the pipe should cause ffmpeg to wrap up thigns?)
ok, so let me take out the file manipulations ffmpeg should be doing.
my outputs are multiplexed because i'm doing this four times. 2 video
streams in 2 threads.
really appreciate the help, excited to get this to work.
thanks,
mike
