> the "nohup" command

It is the traditional command, but nohup is a stupid hack that does not even
work. The correct way to detach a process from its controlling tty is
setsid.

But it will not address ffmpeg reading from its standard input; for that,
either redirecting from /dev/null or using the new -nostdin option will do
the trick.

I tell you that purely for your information; as for "focus television", I
already told them exactly the same thing about a week ago and they did not
heed it.

Of course, screen will work perfectly and give additional features, but it
is much more expensive. It all depends on the context.
