Can ffmpeg turn a series of images into a video feed and broadcast it given the frames per second assuming that the appropriate number of images are created in real time? ffmpeg can convert a series of still images into video, a quick search with "ffmpeg still image to video" will turn up the commands and some of the potential issues. But since you want to re-stream anyway, getting a stream to start with will make the job easier.

Re: [FFmpeg-user] Streaming an mp4/mov file in real time using FFMPEG (no moov atom)
I see. That puts me in a really tough spot and unfortunately I don’t have control over where the metadata is located. I might be able to access a raw H264 stream or a series of image captures. Can ffmpeg turn a series of images into a video feed and broadcast it given the frames per second assuming that the appropriate number of images are created in real time? Thank you to everyone who has provided their input!

Thanks, learn something new every day. Given that would be a higher-end setup, only the OP knows if his software will do that, but the I'd say odds are against it.

If the file would be written in a way that makes this possible (by renaming "old" moov atoms to free atoms every few seconds), you wouldn't ask here (and that likely wouldn't solve your general issue).

[FFmpeg-user] Streaming an mp4/mov file in real time using FFMPEG (no moov atom)
Hello, I am trying to read an incomplete MP4 file as it is being written in real time. Due to the limitations fo the tool I am required to use, the file I need to read in real time is constrained to mp4 or mov. With that in mind, I first tried to execute the following command to turn the mp4 file into an flv file so that I could stream it to an RTMP server. ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -codec copy -map 0 -movflags +faststart ./output.mp4 However, I got the no moov atom found error. I tried the ignore error command (below) but the following was returned: Unrecognized option 'err_detect ignore_err'. ffmpeg -err_detect -Ignore_err - i input.mp4 -codec copy -map 0 -movflags +faststart ./output.mp4 Are there any options (whether or not they are unconventional or avoided) that I have to stream an mp4 file being written in real time using FFMPEG or otheriwise? By change, can I extract the raw video data from the mp4 file as it is being written and then stream that? Any help is truly appreciated!
