Hello ffmpeg users!
This might be a better question for ffmpeg-developers, but I thought I’d ask
here, first.
I have a magewell HDMI capture card that provides a video4linux driver, and am
recording the output of a digital set top box to a webm file with this command:
ffmpeg -thread_queue_size 4096 -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 \
-thread_queue_size 4096 -f alsa -i hdmi_audio_0 -ac 2 -ar 48000 \
-f webm \
-c:v libvpx -threads 4 -speed 6 -r 15 -b:v 512 \
-c:a libopus -ac 2 -threads 4 -ar 48000 \
/tmp/video0.webm
While doing this, I navigate to the settings menu on the digital set top box
and change the resolution from 720p to 1080p. The magewell driver and
video4linux both detect the resolution change immediately, but the resolution
of the video I’m recording never changes. I seem to be getting video frames for
my entire session, but they all seem to be at the same resolution.
Now I’d guess this is probably working-as-designed, I wouldn’t expect ffmpeg to
detect a resolution change on a running stream like that. I suppose I can poll
video4linux on a frame by frame basis and restart my ffmpeg encoding process if
the resolution changes. In that case, I just can’t use the ffmpeg command line
to continuously record the video file, if I’m going to change the resolution on
the STB. Not a huge deal.
So my question is, what should happen in my video file at that point? Should I
close the old resolution’s stream and create a new stream with a new stream
number that picks up at the timestamp where the old video left off? I’m
guessing I can’t just encode differently sized frames into the old stream. If I
have a video that changes a resolution by encoding a new stream with a new
resolution, would the entire video be played by ffplay/vlc/et al correctly?
Would the webm player in chrome be able to handle that if I were doing it in a
stream?
