[FFmpeg-user] FFmpeg interrupted (SIGSTOP signal) but pipewire shows its node is still running

[gnusuario at skiff.com]

To be more precise, the node in pw-top is named after the library FFmpeg uses: Lavf60.16.100. In top all threads of ffmpeg are suspended (T).

I'm using FFmpeg to save screencasts to disk. I start FFmpeg and pause, continue or stop the screencast by sending signals to the process. I found out that in recorded screencasts with pauses the audio does not pause and continues as if FFmpeg was actively running. Because of that, after resuming the recording the audio is out of sync. The audio between the interruption and the resuming is included in the recording. While interrupted ffmpeg's status is Tt as printed by ps. On the other hand pw-top shows ffmpeg's node with status R (running). My OS is openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240202. The command I'm executing is as follows: ffmpeg -device /device/dri/card1 -framerate 50 -f kmsgrab -i - -f pulse -i $(pactl get-default-sink).monitor -filter_complex "[0:v] setpts=N/(FR*TB),hwmap=derive_device=vaapi,fps=fps=50,scale_vaapi=format=nv12;[1:a] asetpts=N/(SR*TB);" -ac 2 -c:a libopus -b:a 128k -c:v hevc_vaapi -bf:v 8 -rc_mode:v CQP -profile:v main -tier:v main -level:v 4.0 -global_qualit y
  :v 24 -qmin:v 20 -y output.mkv & Then I send to ffmpeg signals as needed, with kill. kill -SIGINT ${pid}, kill -SIGSTOP ${pid}, kill -SIGCONT ${pid}. I want to know if it is possible to stop recording sound while the process is paused (stopped in signal terms). _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user at ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
