I have a pipeline like this in which I simulate a video stream
ffmpeg -i input.mov -f matroska - |\
ffmpeg -i - -codec copy -map 0 -reset_timestamps 1 \
-segment_time 10 -f segment output/out%03d.mov
which works and it is splitting the input video into 10 sec long segment files
saved into output folder. Now I would like to instead tell ffmpeg to pass them
to stdout so in the next pipe I can hook up a script to decide what to do which
each segment based on a presence of another file
ffmpeg -i input.mov -f matroska - |\
ffmpeg -i - -codec copy -map 0 -reset_timestamps 1 \
-segment_time 10 -f segment |\
NEXT_PIPE_SCRIPT
The NEXT_PIPE_SCRIPT should be something like
{
TEST_FILE=".do"
if [ -f "$TEST_FILE" ]; then
echo "$TEST_FILE exists going to redirect videos to a folder"
>> output/$RANDOM.mov
else
>> /dev/null
fi
}
The idea is that depends if the file is there or not some segments should go to
/dev/null and some to the output folder.
After much googling I've found this old thread which sais that writing
segmented files to stdout is not supported
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2017-November/037718.html
Also I do not see any example in the ffmpeg documentation of outputing segments
to stdout.
If this is true will anyone have an idea how to solve it in some other way?
Cheers
Simon
