Hi all I'm trying to get a single image from an IP Camera MJPEG stream, like this:
ffmpeg -i http://192.168.99.97/video.mjpg -vframes 1 -y algo.jpeg It works. But there is a significant delay (between 10 and 20 seconds) getting the frame. I assume that this time is used to "guess" the right video settings from the source. I need this to return as soon as possible. Can someone help me with the right settings for the command line ? thx. emelo@alfa:~> ffmpeg -i http://192.168.99.97/video.mjpg -vframes 1 -y algo.jpeg ffmpeg version 0.11.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the FFmpeg developers built on Jun 10 2012 22:43:48 with gcc 4.5.1 20101208 [gcc-4_5-branch revision 167585] configuration: --shlibdir=/usr/lib64 --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-debug --disable-stripping --extra-cflags='-fmessage-length=0 -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -g -fPIC -I/usr/include/gsm' --enable-gpl --enable-x11grab --enable-version3 --enable-pthreads --enable-avfilter --enable-libpulse --enable-libvpx --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libspeex --enable-libxvid --enable-libx264 --enable-libschroedinger --enable-libgsm --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-postproc --enable-libdc1394 --enable-librtmp --enable-libfreetype --enable-avresample libavutil 51. 54.100 / 51. 54.100 libavcodec 54. 23.100 / 54. 23.100 libavformat 54. 6.100 / 54. 6.100 libavdevice 54. 0.100 / 54. 0.100 libavfilter 2. 77.100 / 2. 77.100 libswscale 2. 1.100 / 2. 1.100 libswresample 0. 15.100 / 0. 15.100 libpostproc 52. 0.100 / 52. 0.100 <<<<<<<<< HERE IS THE DELAY >>>>>>>>>> [mjpeg @ 0x62e140] Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate Input #0, mjpeg, from 'http://192.168.99.97/video.mjpg': Duration: N/A, bitrate: N/A Stream #0:0: Video: mjpeg, yuvj420p, 640x480 [SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 1200k tbn, 25 tbc [buffer @ 0x917a20] w:640 h:480 pixfmt:yuvj420p tb:1/1200000 sar:1/1 sws_param:flags=2 [buffersink @ 0x80d680] No opaque field provided Output #0, image2, to 'algo.jpeg': Metadata: encoder : Lavf54.6.100 Stream #0:0: Video: mjpeg, yuvj420p, 640x480 [SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], q=2-31, 200 kb/s, 90k tbn, 25 tbc Stream mapping: Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (mjpeg -> mjpeg) Press [q] to stop, [?] for help frame= 1 fps=0.0 q=6.4 Lsize= 0kB time=00:00:00.04 bitrate= 0.0kbits/s video:36kB audio:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead -100.000000%
