I've googled to death but I can't find anything but other people asking for this.
Specifically, I want to encode an HLS 'kit' live and if the ffmpeg process gets stopped, I want to restart it but continue on with file numbering and keep the old chunks. A few examples: A) ffmpeg segfaults because of some wacket error in the input, I'd like it to start back up (in a while true; or via systemd script etc) and preserve the old files in the m3u8 instead of starting over. B) There is a power outage and when the system comes back up and starts the ffmpeg script I don't want to erase all the history. I plan to keep about 72 hours if the live stream available and allow users to jump into the history at any point via js in the browser, which I have working but every now and then something gets reset and I have to start from scratch. Is this possible with ffmpeg and/or is it something on the wish list? _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
