So, put differently, there's a live encoding process and you'd like to
change the watermark image dynamicall during encoding?

That is correct.  Below is the command line I'm using currently as a test.  Note that the url used in the second input is calling server side code that serves up the image file(s).  Is there a param to turn off caching of the image so ffmpeg will continue to poll the image?  


ffmpeg -i movie.mp4 -i http://localhost/api/images/v1/overlay.png -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]overlay=W-w-10:H-h-10[watermark]" -map "[watermark]" -map 0:a -codec:v libx264 -preset veryfast -crf 18 -codec:a copy output.mp4
