Hi,
is that possible to use unix domain sockets as input for motion?
FFMPEG documentation says that it supports it:
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-protocols.html#unix
So what's the point?
When motion receives stream produced by some kind of proxy (that may for
example receive it from somewhere else), it would be nice to avoid overhead
on TCP sockets and use unix domain sockets, because according to this
discussion:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/91774/performance-of-unix-sockets-vs-tcp-ports
Unix domain sockets are faster than loopback.
So my question is: is that possible now? Maybe something like
unix:rtsp://blabla/ will work?
/ Ruslan

You mean, you want to read RTSP stream from unix socket?

Exactly, I have a setup where all streams from cams are coming from
outside, then on the machine where motion is running, I have kind of proxy,
that from
the one side receives RTSP from outside, and on the other side feeds motion
with it, right now both sides are TCP, but I can imagine that switching
second side to be
unix domain socket server will reduce CPU / MEM

No, motion dors not support unix:// protocol
And I doubt that there will be significant (if any) improvement in
performance when streaming RTSP over unix socket vs tcp socket.
