[FFmpeg-user] Re-writing hot .ts file that rotates every 24 hours in realtime

[Korn Moffle]

Hi,

thank you for your reply:

What I am trying to do:

a. copy the file in realtime ? So, ffmpeg would be rewriting file1.ts into file2.ts as file1.ts is constantly being written into.
b. tell ffmpeg to read the file with a constant 3 second delay from the most updated frame?
c. if a new file appears, detect it and switch to it?

My existing solution of using -re and -sseof has several disadvantages:

  1.  if use -sseof and -re together, I am missing the beginning of the file
  2.  if use only -re, then I need to launch ffmpeg few seconds after the new file is created otherwise I would be constantly hours behind.
  3.  I am sure there are a lot of other issues that I am not seeing

What is OS?
TS files are written on Windows 10 64 bit

What language the program is written in?
The program is written in GNU C++ (GCC) , but we can either use the library of if there is a way to do it from MSDOS shell - even better!

Thank you!

Hi Korn,

We need additional info to help you. What O/S are you working with?
This is relevant to the buffered input and output when reading from stdin
and writing to stdout.
What language are you writing your script/program in?
This is relevant to what capabilities your tool will have access to.

Thank you for your question!
