[FFmpeg-user] Concurrent Segment/Concat Read/Writes

[Robert Nagy]

In what way does it depend on the formats? The files are streamed to/from
in a nut container.

I've managed to fake it on the segmenting side by buffering through a file,
i.e. the segmenter writes to disk and then I wait for the segment_list
items and start uploading and then remove from disk once finished.
Unfortunately this solution will only upload completed segments, it cannot
upload while writing since the segment_list is only updated for finished
segments.

On the concat side I haven't found any workaround.
