Hi Maxim

Thanks

Let’s say I have ffmpeg running with an overlay video filter.

Then I can use zmq to send a message to the overlay filter to change the 
x option. Setting x to a very large number effectively disables the 
overlay and setting x back to a value within my frame width brings back 
the overlay. Is that correct?

The overlay filter has two inputs. Is there any way I can change the 
input while the filter is running?

Thanks
